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.

The first double-time line in the second chorus kicked my ass. Finally just threw my hands at it and came close... then had a few other flub-ups along the way. Love this guy's chord solo approach. Loads of useable stuff here, especially the self-comping. Starting to get my head around his style... may even do another Masakowski solo soon, to complete my transformation.
This all started by you sending me a bunch of charts. Faith in you was one of them. I had decided to keep mining the Frisell vein, and spent a lot of time listening to this tune. Getting it in my ears, so to speak. It was Pat's solo resonated more in the end. Amazing!! Frigging triads throughout. So melodic. Such simple and beautiful melodies. Pat also ornaments nearly every note. Muting, slipping, sliding, etc. A couple of rough patches, but very playable. Fuddled my way to "good enough".... also note the Ibanez PM-200 guitar!
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.
