This is so good I just had to post it

Check out a tune called 'Pythonicity' by Australian group DIG (Directions In Groove), a great alternate head over Canteloupe changes. No links sorry.

Oops, recognized everyone but Dave Holland! Pat plays a nice solo on this - wish it was on his 175, though.

Pat always looks like he's going through child birth... love his playing, just hard to watch.

[max chill]

I think when he's ready to end his solo, he sends Herbie a text message with the keyboard on his computer guitar.

He seems so comfortable while playing , it is amazing :-)

I transcribed Pat's solo, if you're interested. It's here:

Dam M-ster... you transcribe all the great players... really impressive... thanks as always. Any young or beginner level players, should read through these... even if you don't or can't read at tempo, it's an incredible opportunity to hear and see how great players hear and solo... without doing the.. hard and time consuming work.

I'm trying to re-invigorate and break out of my rut ... Plus, it's oddly theraputic in some way.

...thanks as always.

You're welcome, of course. Just trying to share with my fellow muso's.

Dang, Reg'! I'd be impressed as hell over anyone that *could* read this stuff at tempo. There are lots of notes, and some passages are very chromatic. I struggle just to understand the fingerings and fretboard logic and even approach tempo, to be quite honest.

But it is good fodder for study.

Yea... I can read through just about anything... getting it right is another subject...that's a pretty slow tempo... His mechanical playing doesn't sound that cool with out backing...Again great job man. Pats not one of my favorite players but I sure have a ton of respect for him, he was at berklee when i was there, there were a ton of great players...

[M-ster]

When were you at Berklee, Reg? Early to mid '70s?

indeed, i've been working on this for the past few days on my 5 string bass and yeah, slowly, without a rhythm section..... well, let's just say it's a lot different than Clifford Brown . Pat's lines have so much to do with his tone and how he articulates, they sound soooooo much different on a different instrument at a different tempo.

Thanks so much M-ster, very impressive.

Hi everybody,
Since I am invited once more to post a message, I aloi me to regret having to pay for jazz guitar lessons : free was and is better, particularly if sponsoring allready exists. A part ça it remains that the Jazz Guitar site is an excellent one.
Bye, folks !

Love that Pat´s solo and Herbie´s solo is very good too! Herbie got very impressive rhytmic stuff going on there! But Pat. Oh my god!

[gingerjazz]
