Hello,
I hope everyone is going well!
This time I share you a new transcription from Grant Green, probably one of the best guitarists in the whole history of jazz! So the song is Moon River, this song is pretty cool, I remember the first time that I heard this song, it was the version from Frank Sinatra. The last year I was being working in a few transcriptions from Grant Green, and recently I re-discover this lovely version!
Thanks for reading and for watching! I hope that you'll enjoy the video!
I wish you a great Sunday!
Jose

Very nice, I saw a group do this in 5. How long does it take you to work out something like this? Do you write it out too, or just memorize it?

Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate it. I pull licks and lines from solos, at parts where I have trouble improvising, but I haven't done a full solo yet.

I’ve been trying to transcribe every day lately, but I have to have two groups of potential things to transcribe — one of things I want to learn, and one of things from which I want to glean some information. I’ve been working for about six weeks to learn one that took me about a week to transcribe. So I’m transcribing bits and pieces of people on Fee Fi Fo Fum, just because I want to know what they’re doing. No real intention of learning it all.

But probably it's better just to copy or to pick the phrases that you find interesting! I really enjoy transcribing but more for the aspect of getting the knowledge of style and even for the technical aspect, this point is really different in comparaison of my classical guitar technique knowledge. Keep jazzin'
