This thesis describes ways a guitarist can apply a saxophone-like phrasing in their playing and also discusses the various differences and similarities which can be found between the two instruments. 

The foundation of the work was made through transcription to find the aspects of saxophone playing that may be possible to apply on guitar. I made conclusions based on the transcriptions of a wide variety of saxophone players. This thesis also contains exercises which are specifically crafted for working on applying saxophone phrasing for guitarists. In this thesis I arrived at the conclusion that it is very possible to integrate various aspects of saxophone phrasing onto the guitar although some are less problematic than others. For instance, there are resources that the saxophone has, of which the guitar as an instrument does not have. Despite this, drawing inspiration from saxophone phrasing as a guitarist can be considerably applicable.
