JGBE Virtual Jam (Round 3) - So What/Impressions

**Alter** · 02-08-2021, 04:45 AM

I've met several great musicians that were indifferent to doing transcriptions, Mick Goodrick being one of them. But to my ears they all already had a thorough knowledge of the jazz language (or were extremely talented), so possibly there was no big need for them to transcribe.

For me, transcription has been the best tool available by far, a great way to improve by heaps whenever doing some.

Anyway here's a take on So What. Thought I would have a video somewhere already but didn't..

Hi Alter,
I stoped my coments here and anywhere and this is my last one.
Really...very nice inteligent phrasing and playing.
You build very jazzy interesting long lines.
You harmonize very well with the backing track and feel the form of this piece very well.
The excellent articulation on the Stratocaster makes it very pleasant to listen to.
Professional timing.
Best
Kris

Best so far.

Really loved this.
Not only the fluency and energy of your solo but the tone of your guitar there, it's amazing.
Is that just the raw sound of it inline?

Thank you!

Re: tone, im plugged into a Yamaha THR 10ii amp, which is sitting right on the tabletop, about a foot behind my phone, which is propped up against a can of beer.

The guitar is a Squier with a Fender neck. Its a screamer.
