 Take The A Train Sometime ago I found a post somewhere with a recording and score of a guitar solo of Take the A-Train. I believe that it was done by University Jazz guitar professor. I still have the recording but lost the score. This is an excellent jazz study and I'd like to locate the score. On the recording the drummer can be heard saying "I heard that". Does anybody know where this is?     |

| Didn't see "Take the A Train" there but I stopped looking when I found Louis Armstrong's fanfare for "West End Blues" which is IMHO is one of the greatest intros to any piece of music in any genre. Last edited by kaige : 02-24-2010 at 10:20 AM. Reason: sp |

| The melody note in the original is E running in whole tones down to Ab. Try sliding down from the first voicing to the second: ------12------------4--------------------------- ------10------------5--------------------------- ------12------------5--------------------------- ------10------------4--------------------------- --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- Don't worry about the missing root in the second voicing. The four notes say enough. |
