27th March 2009, I played Cliffs of Dover at our school's music/drama concert. I first heard the song on Guitar Hero 3, and thought it was great. I wondered how it would sound on sax, and ended up playing it. Notes - This is only half the song because there was a 3 minute time limit - and that semed the best place to finish... and add an improvised ending. There's a few mistakes, but I was expecting that due to nerves, but I'm very happy with how it turned out because that audience was the largest I'd played in front of. The sax was noticeably creaky in places :S For the sheet music I used the guitar sheet music and a chart I'd written to change them into sax notes (which I wrote down on a page as A, B, C# etc. and learned). Backing was from a CD - the backing track was from a website called guitarbackingtrack . com (I typed 'cliffs of dover backing' into Google). Hope you like it!
