    How to Get this sound

    Try using these notes when improvising. Lee Thompson uses a very simple harmonic approach when
    soloing, mainly using just these pentatonic (5 note) scales. Also try using rhythmic patterns in your playing to
    create energy. Even just just staying on one note and playing a rhythm can sound great.

    Try making your own solos using these notes:

    Cool licks from this solo

    Here are some patterns based on this solo. Practice these up and down your saxophone and experiment
    with starting the patterns on different notes. You can use these patterns as building blocks when making
    your own solos to get that 80s SKA sound!
