Songs to cover on the saxophone

44% Normal
9 Comments

Hi everyone! First post here. So I'm not really wondering if this is normal or not, just looking for some suggestions. I've played the saxophone for years and after 10th grade I quit playing for school and continued for fun. Now I do covers of songs along with improvising with songs. Some songs I've learned are One Day by Matisyahu, Let It Be by The Beatles, Demons by Imagine Dragons, ect... I'm wondering if you guys have some suggestions for songs I could play.

    One Day is a lovely song.

    Play some rad ska stuff. Start with some Streetlight Manifesto.

    What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong.

    Aenima by Tool.

    One by Metallica.

    Do you accept these challenges?

    I have no idea how the second two will sound or of it will work but that's what came to mind.

    *edit* I forgot that I played the sax in 5th grade school band. I cant even read music anymore :( ...not something a songbird should admit.

      Oh oh oh! Dave Matthews Band had a sax in it and Say Goodbye and Two Step are songs that I quite like. How 'bout it!

    Click on my profile and there is a link to new songs I am working on for my new album.
    If you like a song, you are welcome to guest if I like what you are doing. I will need a high definition recording (48k to 192k) sample rate recorded on a good quality microphone with no background noise on the .wav.

    For something that already has it in it, Hold on I'm comin by Sam and Dave and Ben's my friend by sun kil moon

    To adapt to sax, hey ya by outkast I just can't imagine what it'd sound like but I imagine its a whole lotta sexy and motion picture soundtrack by Radiohead

    As an impossible challenge? Inanimate sensation by death grips, good luck on that one ;)
