: OK guys and gals, I've gotta performance coming up. I'm the only vet playing on this particular piece, and I'm on dbl 2nds and have a solo. It's a beginner piece with some easy changes- any ideas of where I could get som inspiration?
: Thanks.
How about looking outside the pan repertoire for inspiration? Get an exercise book for cello (the string instrument, not the pan) or saxophone and run through the patterns.
If you don't read music, then try some jazz recordings by great sax soloists like Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, Coleman Hawkins, or Stan Getz. Learning just one solo from one of those guys is enough to get you going for months!
Hope this helps! Good luck!
