 that song doesn't lend itself too well to a chord melody, but i have done it in a duo with a trumpet player. the bassline is pretty easy to figure out, and the voicings i use for the head chords are xx7787 to xx5565 these of course, with the bassline, move up a half step for the "B" section (the Eb- part) during his solo, i comped basically D "Dorian" voicings to Eb on the B sec, a little walking bass here and there. i suppose if this doesn't help, i could write some of it out, but like i said, i just don't think of this as a "chord melody" kind of tune...     |

| It's in the Real book already. Drop the low E down to D and you can play the riff followed by the chord. Chordwise the it's X77787 to x55565 for th efirst chord and it just moves up a 1/2 step for the Eb mi part. The bass part is D A B C D E A C D on 6 5 5 5 4 4 5 6 strings. (But let me check that and get back to you after I check the book) So you have 16 measures in Dmin followed by 8 in Ebmi then back to 8 in Dmin. It should be in the 557 pdf post on this site as well |

| Heres the riff note wise. 1st) D A B C D E C D (CHORD, CHORD) 2nd) D A B C D E C D A (CHORD, CHORD) 3rd) D A B C D E C D (CHORD, CHORD) 4th) E E E D A (CHORD, CHORD) Do this 2x and then move up a 1/2 step. Then back, then solos |

| And don't forget: leave the bass lick out, learn the different head, pick up the tempo a bit and you have "Impressions"! |

| Yeah, Impressions would work better as a chord melody arrangement than So What, only because So What is basically arranged to begin with regarding the counter melody between the bass and piano/horns. Mw |

| There is an absolutely awesome arrangement of So What in this book.... It doesn't follow the original version too, too closely though. Sheet Music Plus - Miles Davis for Solo Guitar by Miles Davis |
