Trio Blues: John Scofield Solo

Need to do more Scof.  He totally has his own thing happening.  Angular lines, rhythmic choices, and feel are what make him such an interesting player, and hard to copy.  I struggled with this solo.  Here is a halfway decent attempt with a flub in the middle.  I haven't gotten this one up to speed yet.  Gathered some licks in a separate score at the end.

    Very cool solo. Doing more Sco is a good idea... so inventive. Love the 8th note feels. Thought you did a great job on both solos

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.

There will never be another you: Chet Baker Solo

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.

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. ☺
