Ceora: Lee Morgan solo from "Cornbread"

Nice little solo.  Lots of usable stuff here.  He plays with a good amount of tremolo, that I toned down.  Mostly because vibrato on guitar instantly makes you sound like you are at a blues festival, and I have a lot less sustain than a trumpet.  Choose this solo because I love his conviction to the notes he plays.... and I am slightly damaged after the Metheny solo :)
(Note:  Using Sibelius now)

    What a great choice. Love the 16th note runs. Classic language. Well done!

Walkin solo by Miles Davis

Absolutely loved this one. For the most part it is easy to play except the few triplet and 16th note lines. Great use of space. I will probably take more out of this solo than any other horn solo.

Careful: Jim Hall solo

 This is a Jim Hall composition that he recorded several times during his career.  This version is from a Gary Burton album " Something's Coming!" from 1963. I have been really into Jim this past month. Truly the father of modern Jazz guitar. Solo sounds easy, but it gave me some trouble. Even though Jim isn't known as a technical player, he has his moments with rakes and slurs that are hard to replicate. Amazing sense of rhythm and melody. You are going to see and hear lots more of Jim in the coming months. ☺

St. Thomas _Sonny Rollins solo...

Great solo by Sonny Rollins. Been meaning to learn this forever. Had not been able to get it past 80% but gave a stab at it a few days ago at 100% and here it is .... so much info in this recording.
