looking for already transcribed solos to advance my study of the numerical system of scales and jazz patterns. Are there any recommendations?

Yes, I'd have lots of recommendations. It would help to know what instrument and style you are looking for. As well as difficulty level.

Hi Peter,

A shock seeing your face, as I have your jazz guitar course! I am still beavering through it. Thank you for the reply.

The instrument is now the guitar, used to be trumpet! The level or standard I am at, for me is difficult to judge, but for your benefit, but I would guess intermediate. Additionally,I mostly like modern jazz, classic old jazz and rock.

However, in respect of standard, I would choose material that inspired me, or that got my interest, and not bother considering the level of achievement, as I would do the work and get there in the end. Life for me is a very rural one, and therefore love to examine what the giants of jazz did on their recordings and dots.

For my purpose, what instrument they play it on, is also of no consequence, I love it all, playing it in any key or style or speed adds to the flavor of learning!

For my practice material,I currently use a J B ARBAN cornet method tutor, A FAKE BOOK, and your course, modified to include numerical scale position numbers, and purchased in Canada quite some years ago. Hopefully this will be of some guidance for you?

I would imagine that you have a substantial collection yourself?

Regards,
Cy

Hi Peter, wondering if I answered your question satisfactorily? Are you waiting for more from me?

Hi Cy,

For Jazz Guitar transcribed solos, I'd recommend the following:
(I think the best way is to have both the transcription and the audio/video available)

===============
Wes Montgomery
http://wesmontgomerybook.com/details/

The nice thing about this one, is that there is also a DVD available of the concert.
=========================================================
Joe Pass
http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Pass-Step-Step/dp/0634051946

or this one (a DVD is also available)

http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Audio-Media-Video-Transcription/dp/1576234371/ref=pd_sim_b_2

================


Have Fun!

This one by Par Martino is pretty good too, comes with a CD and explains Pat's thinking through parts of the solo.

Hi Cy,

The Wolf Marshall Book on Wes Montgomery also has audio and Wolf is a much better player and teacher than the other book with Tim Fitzgerald. Wolf is a GREAT player and teacher Tim Fitzgerald is just a decent local Club player in the Chicago area..........

I also recommend just transcribing the solos yourself........much better ear training, and you will learn some great riffs from the mistakes that you make trying to learn the actual one Wes is playing!

If you just buy a book where someone else did everything, you loose out on the above experience........

Regards, BBB

ABSOLUTELY TRUE

There is also an EFFICIENCY in transcribing for yourself.

At the same time as learning the solo, we develop the ears, we have to learn to find the various rhythm patterns, in short, we learn all the things needed to be well-rounded improvisational musicians and also composers/arrangers.

IMO the only people who benefit from selling published transcriptions are the people who sell them. They not only go ALL the training needed by doing the transcriptions in the first place, they are getting money from others for a copy of the notes without any of the necessary other important things mentioned above.

YOU WILL GET THERE FASTER BY HEEDING THIS ADVICE.

There are no shortcuts, not really.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
