Tal Farlow - Autumn in New York

[AndyV]

Long-time favorite of mine. Cool to see and hear this transcription. I never would have figured out the A string was lowered by an octave and that the solo was back to standard. Tal just really heard things differently than other players. Truthfully, I prefer Barney Kessel's chord melody work with liberal use of open strings a bit more, but Tal was a true innovator and his harmonic hearing and execution of chord melodies was ferocious. What a lot of work it must have been to figure this all out!

Love that track so much I extracted 1:38-39 to be my mobile notification thunk since the last 10 years...

[Cunamara]

Tal is the thunkiest.

[Dean_G]

Wow. The transcription graphics are nearly as amazing as the playing.

This would be Tal with his es350 I assume?

Ultra thunk I think.

[Mick-7]

He plays the E string bass notes with his thumb (usually anyway) - what terrible technique!

I was actually looking for the thread in which ragman was saying he found it hard to solo over this tune but I could not find it. That is understandable if he was trying to play it from the Real Book changes (which are not quite right).

Anyway, here are the song's basic changes....
