What A Wonderful World -

solo saxophone

Transcription

Welcome - John Coltrance

Video of me playing this tune on my Video page

​

The grid - choose a key and number it eg

C Major (C = 1 D = 2 E = 3  F = 4  G = 5  A = 6  B = 7)

" = 1 octave higher or move up

_ = 1 octave lower or move down

You need to get the rhythm and the key from listening to the track, very tricky in places because Coltrane is playing rubato most of the time and then certain phrases in time.

Phrase 1
111 1’ 6 4 3 2 3 5 3 1

Phrase 2

1 111 6 1’ x 3 

1 111 6 2'

Phrase 3
2’2’ 1’1’ 6666 4 1

Phrase 4

111’ 6664

phrase 5
32 11 11 11 6 66  1 11 5’ 3 1

Phrase 6
3 2 6 5 3  2 3  1 2  6 1  121  1 5

Phrase 7
