Don't Worry About Me - Ray Brown

This month was a very short solo. I worked on it a lot in the first part of the month but it slipped away until I realized it was time to post. I tried a new way to record bass into logic then match video. It is slightly off. Lots of melodic and 2-5 lines. Really trying to not drag my 8th notes on this. It is a work in progress.  

Faith in You: Pat Metheny Solo: March

This all started by you sending me a bunch of charts.   Faith in you was one of them.  I had decided to keep mining the Frisell vein, and spent a lot of time listening to this tune.   Getting it in my ears, so to speak.  It was Pat's solo resonated more in the end.  Amazing!!  Frigging triads throughout.  So melodic.  Such simple and beautiful melodies.  Pat also ornaments nearly every note.  Muting, slipping, sliding, etc.  A couple of rough patches, but very playable.  Fuddled my way to "good enough"....  also note the Ibanez PM-200 guitar!

De-Dah solo Larry Grenadier

 Yet another LG solo. I like this one as it is a 32 bar form and kind of like rhythm changes but not... Lots of jazzy enclosures. I'm trying to use this approach in exercises which is fun.  This is in a good range as well.
