about

Shorter Straws is one of a number of tunes that I wrote for a now-defunct band. The audio track is the ‘demo’ I recorded for the band to get a feel of the tune, chords & structure. The solo sections were left ‘empty’ so that the players could try throwing a few shapes over them prior to rehearsals!

I've also used some of the tunes with my sax students to help them get used to soloing over changes.

I hope that you find them useful too!

This pack consists of:
* the guide track (with guide sax)
* the ‘minus one’ (no sax) backing track
* a track of the solo section looped (repeated) four times for soloing practise.
* printable lead sheets in Bb, Eb & C versions, (including scale choice suggestions for the solo sections)

For background info please see the 'downloadable backing tracks' page on my website.

You can view the lead sheets whilst listening to the tracks on my YouTube channel (see opposite).
