Reading this thread broke my brain a little bit.. but what a great excuse to try a tune that I've always skipped over in the past. As usual with this kind of playing I tend to feel dumber the more I play it, especially after learning the real book version and then trying to get that Ab in bar 3 down. Fun stuff!

I play the 'A' section mostly around the 3rd position and find this fingering works well if you want to incorporate the Ab:

If you thought the A section was difficult, the real fingering challenges arise when you try to play the B section in the same register as the A section (on the lower strings).

You know, I didn’t feel like the deedley deedley do part was hard until I read someone was having difficulty. Now I trip up every time, BE COOL BE COOL DON’T BIFF IF, AHH YOU BIFFED IT.

Half of the bridge.

If you're playing Parker's line, it does go up an octave.

Something I've noticed. I think I'm holding the pick with my fingers closed, like Jimmy Bruno and Pasquale Grasso, but in these videos I have my pinky and ring finger on the guitar. Something else in my playing posture to work on.
Can I put out a suggestion to do a Dizzy Gillespie tune next?

Briks Works is relatively simple. It's in my repertoire so if it's picked I'll do all the positions like you do. It's a good minor blues head, kind of like spy music.
I never learned Groovin High so that would be my pick. Hot House is good too. Dizzy Atmosphere got me thinking about it, since it's on the next page of the Realbook.
-
If we want to really kick our own asses, Dizzy's tune "Bebop" is an absolute beast.
-
-
I was going by the Real Book chart that was posted, which has the bridge in the same register as the A section -- Dexterity
As I said, it's easier to play an octave higher than that.
Alright, but will I required to puff my cheeks out like a blowfish a la Dizzy and Fats when I play the tunes mentioned?

Rest of the bridge.

I definitely like the bridge in the same register as the a section, but I haven't found a real comfortable fingering for those first four bars. Working on it!
-
all right, now to smooth things out and get the metronome up.

Metronome is a good idea but actually I suggest playing it along with the original, slowed down and looped.
You’ll be able to spot any mistakes a little better as well.
