Not You Again: John Scofield

Worked hard on Sco's articulation.  This seems to be the key to finding where his lines are most playable.  Loads of hammer-ons and pull offs.  I am not playing this at 100% but I will.  This is a joy to play at manageable speeds, so it is worth getting it up to 100 (probably should have started sooner).  Also have it memorized, as per the monthly challenge.  I will get the other stuff up in a day or two.

    What a great solo! You seem to really nail the tone! Long solo and very hard. Love the low notes he always puts in for rhythmic hits. Well done.

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. ☺
