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.

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.

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....

May Madness: Like Someone In Love etc

 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.
