How To Play Lily Was Here On The Saxophone

Lily Was Here is a fantastic instrumental song by Dave Stewart (formally of the Eurythmics ) and Candy Dulfer in the late 1980’s / early 1990’s.

It is no secret that I am a HUGE Candy Dulfer fan – if you are into funk and saxophone then you should be too.

Anyway, because of the simplicity of the guitar lines in this song and the wonderful saxophone sort of echoing then embellishing what the guitar has just played in a “call and response” duet, I thought Lily Was Here would make a great saxophone lesson !

That, and the fact that several of my students and Members here at HowToPlayTheSax.com have requested it !!

So – here we go ๐Ÿ™‚

This song is a really good exercise in listening too.

We can echo the guitar AFTER it plays it’s line on our saxophone…which means that we need to tune out the exiting saxophone to a certain extent.

Or we can play along with the guitar, and therefore listen to Candy’s beautiful and skilful playing.

So, actually, in this saxophone lesson we do both ๐Ÿ™‚

This video saxophone lesson for Lily Was Here by Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer is an edited and condensed version.

The full and complete version of this and all of our saxophone lessons are available to our Members inside our Members Area.

In the full Lily Was Here saxophone lesson – as with all full saxophone lessons for all songs that we are learning inside the Members Area – we break the song components down into bite sized pieces.ย  We slow it down, we dissect it, we build on the individual components until we are confident and comfortable enough to give it all a red hot go.
