This one was a challenge. Probably could spend the next 6 months working on the nuances of his style. Had a couple of flubs in this video, but managed to get through it. May try to re-record this one. Love those slippery chromatic Metheny lines.

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. ☺
Nice work. What a great solo. We should play that this summer. I liked that you memorized it as well.
ReplyDeleteMy workflow is sing it (as well as possible while listening a bunch of times), get it under my hands (while improving the singing), getting it on paper, then working up the speed. Not sure if that is the best way to do it, but memorisation is a nice side effect.
