HI Mark!
Thank you! Yes, the sax solo is a keyboard improv. but not as a complete 24 bar solo. I made a separate file of just guitar, bass and drums and recorded measure after measure using the tenor sax selection on the keyboard to get the feel. I actually played the the rhythm over and over and sat there and sang parts before playing them. The solo was done in sections. I think there were (2) 4 bar sections and (2) 8 bar sections pasted together. 90% of the song was surprisingly easy. The sax solo (and pitch bends) took more than half the time of the whole song and the pitch bends drove me nuts. I made at least 100 pitch bends and copy and pasted the good ones. Some I copied from the bass part, which I did not write, and then put the notes in. I think in the future I will stick to grace notes and 16ths to get what I want instead of spending so much time on pitch bends. All in all, the song took about 120 hours and could have been done in about 40 or 50. Thanks again for the compliments.
Cheers,
Fred
