A Final Solo

To sum things up, here is a solo which uses almost everything you have learned in the book. If you’ve come this far, you are definitely ready to play in a band and should begin jamming with other musicians if you’re not already doing so. Another thing you should begin doing is transcribing sax solos from albums. You may wish to write the notes down or you may wish to learn them by ear, but transcribing is an important skill for any musician to develop. Keep practicing, keep playing and have fun.
