June: Metronome and Stern Double-time lines

 Hi,  back on track (a bit).  Working a lot with metronome this month.  Moving the click to different beats.  Really hard on the off beats at first, but it is getting a bit better.   I made a little film clip of me goofing around with "Miss Jones".  Click on the "and" of 4.  Lost it in the second chorus so cut the film there.   Spent some time looking at the Stern solo from last month.  Not really trying to learn it, but trying to get behind some of the notes.  I noticed a handful of patterns that he leans heavily on.  Working with those.  I am calling these perpetual motion exercises built from his lines.    Left some notes on the sheet music upload.

May: Like someone in Love- Mike Stern Solo

 Well,  this was a long solo.  And I am nowhere near able to play it.  I do intent to pick from it over the coming months though.  My goal is to pillage what I can from it.  I have some work left to do with the actual transcription.  Dynamics, bends, etc.  I also always find errors after I transcribe it and work on playing it.
