The song stays in this same pattern throught the entire song though. Here are the first few measures to the piano solo to give an idea how it goes. -------------------------------------------/10----------------------------| --------10-11-10--------13-----------------12-----------------------------| ---12---------------12-9--------------------------10----------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| (These parts below are actually played an octave higher) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------13-------------------------------------------------------| ----/14--13-12---------------11--12--9---------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------10---------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------10---------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------13---------------------------------------------------------| ------10------------12-13-14--------10-/12--10--9--------------------------| ---10-------------------------------------------------------10-------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Trumpet solo --first 24 measures ----------|--------------------------------10-----------------13-11---------| 13--13-|-13-----10--13-----10-13-----10----10-13--------10------------------| ----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| ----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| ----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| ----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| --------------10-----------------------------------------------------------| -13-11-10-----11-10-8-----12-11-12-10----10-12-13--------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------12-------------12------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| (approx 12 bars) ----------------------------15-15-----18--17-17-13---12-13-12--------------| -10-11-----------13-16-----------------------------------------------------| ---------10----12----------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------10-----------------------------------------------13------| -15-13------11----10----------8-----10-------------11-13-------------------| ---------------------------12----8---10-----12-12--------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 11-11----8----10-----------------------------------------------------------| --------------11----10-8-----8-12-10------10-12-13-----12------------------| ---------------------------------------------12--------------13-----12\----| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| The intro to the saxophone: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------13b15-------------------------13-13b15----------------------| ------12-15----------------------12-13-15----------------------------------| --14----------------------13-15--------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------| -----------------------13-13b15------------------| ----------12-13-15-------------------------------| --14-15------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------| That's as far as I got. All of the solo parts are basically in the same key/mode of Am or C. This should give an idea of how the solos are played. Enjoy
