In Your Own Sweet Way- Played through it. Used several of the arpeggios and a few of the licks from solos. Not perfect as I added a few roots but still quite a bit better than I thought it would be. No Hexatonic action....
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.
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.
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 Job! Like how you connected the 9th arpeggios. Also like the double time phrases!
