Hi,
I'm a student of jazz guitar and I like that you recommended me some guitar solos to ear and transcribe. Thank you.

Who do you like?
To find out why you like them, transcribe them.
That's how it works.

I'm new in this world of jazz and I do not know many guitarists. I would like to transcribe guitar solos of classic jazz. But not where to start. can you recommend me some? Thank's.

I think you are really asking about some important jazz guitarists to listen to. By your reference to classic jazz, I think you would want to listen to many of the people listed all over this site: Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Grant Green, Herb Ellis, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Kenny Burrell, the list goes on and on. More modern players are Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, etc, etc..

It's been my experience that it's sometimes easier to transcribe horn solos than guitar solos. They're usually a lot slower, so you can tell what notes are being played. If you're just starting out, try some Miles Davis (like some of the stuff on Kind of Blue).

I just want to make sure when I pull it out on some unsuspecting buddy of mine I don't start a fight.

I see it used often on another forum I read (Java programming): New To Java - What is the compiler for JAVA
The terms "feckless crapweasel" and "pedantic ball-sniffer" get mixed and matched there. That's how you know you're in the presence of professional software developers.Last edited by BigDaddyLoveHandles; 08-11-2009 at 06:53 PM.

Well "feckless" means worthless. And although a weasel pelt has value, perhaps those of crapweasels are less desirable.

Get a licks books, and learn licks that way, and once you have developed more of a sense of the jazz language transcribing will become much easier. There are some very useful transcribing software tools out there.

It doesn't have to be a guitar solo. You could transcribe a saxophone solo too.
