Transcription Challenge

 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.

 Tough finding the time this month.  Worked a bit on Penta scales over Round Midnight changes.  Not super melodic here, just pounding them out.  Here is my cheat sheet. I can't believe that I didn't do any Wes Montgomery solos last year.  He is such a great player.  A lot of his solos start with single-notes.   He moves to his trademark octaves and finally full on chord solos.  This solo is a classic example.  I need about 10 hours more of playing this.   The chord and Octave work is an area that I need to devote some serious attention to. This is the solo: Here is the transcription.  (Putting a pin in this performance for later)

 This is a rather poor un edited blog post. Not able to make the time to get this into a better format but will work on it.  1. Charlie Haden Solo on Round Midnight- Very spacious and melodic.  Love the way he holds the b6 on  the last A. Next: Play Along Round Midnight Last:  Memorized Larry Grenadier Solo on Cheryl
