| |  Scofield transcriptions
Hi. I'm looking for transcribed Sco's solos from his 80s era, those stunning ''desafino'' runs he used to play with Miles, Jaco and throughout his earlier years. That kind of boppish stuff instead of that newer funky stuff, you know. Please, if you have some, could you send them to me? Thanks. |

If you have the albums, it would be of far greater benefit to transcribe them yourself. May take you a while but you'd get so much more from it than copping someone else's transcription. Get an app such as Transcribe (there are others out there, but I don't know the names) which can slow down the music but keep the original pitches. |

There is one out-of-print book with transcriptions of John Scofield from the 80'ties. I saw one in a shop in Berlin last year, but beside it is not easy to find. And expensive on e-bay. These are also transcripts from his own records only. |

Right click over the play button on WMP, and you'll get the options of normal, slow and fast. Muddier than Transcribe... but helpful anyway. |

Amazing Slowdowner will give a greater degree of speed management. Also has pitch change and correction options and stores songs in a playlist. |

I've transcribed a number of tunes, including Sco's "Techno", "Still Warm" and "Heaven Hill", and posted them on the Free Jazz Institute's site at FreeJazzInstitute - Transcriptions . Check them out!  Ville |
