I love this solo. This is my buddy Henke's favorite organ player. Wonderfully melodic player. Somewhat challenging on guitar. Lots of string skips and unfamiliar pathways. Short and sweet.
I have come to the conclusion that I stray too far from the melody when soloing. This is a perfect example of melodic development and embellishment. Very short, but great little solo. Didn't put any great effort into the notation... but oh well.
Love this one but still a work in progress. 80% speed...barely. A lifetime of work to take from this. I really need to go back and mine both Dexter solos for vocabulary....
So this month was about working on taking some licks around the cycle and playing through Like someone in love as well as this short and sweet solo by John Patitucci on Like Someone in Love. I had some struggles notating the last 4 bars but really got a lot out of the solo especially the fast double time lick over Dmin7/ G7#5 at first ending. That is one of the licks I took around the cycle. Also kept playing previous solos from this year and worked on blues ideas. I am just posting the solo for now.
Great. Love the lines. You looked really comfortable playing this. Locked in hard to the feel. Great phrasing. I would do more of this guy!
