Probably that, yes. But I'm on a Bb instrument, so that's to be expected. Get some Alto sax players in here.

usually minor pentatonic. i like playing major scales and throwing in some obscure notes making it sound exotic.

I play snare, so it's hard to improv with it.

^I was referring to clarinet, and a bunch of others here were talking about horns, so... I'm guessing you're off a bit.

^Yeah, to be honest, you can't 'play the snare'. It just doesn't count. Full set, sure. One drum (that isn't a djembe)? No.

Derek i'm assuming you play guitar with the pentatonics.

But pentatonics are pretty cool on the sax too.

yea dude. i love pentatonic. but they start to get boring after awhile. thats why i like to play major scales and warp them around to get wierd sounding tones.
