great music dude!!! copying the bests is the ticket.. how did we learned speaking anyway? copying our parents... and today, we are not saying what they used to say.. we just learn that vocabulary to talk, i think in music is the same... so keep it up and transcribe everything u can..
also, an improvisation does not necessarily imply that there was no original score. theres a reason theyre called solo "sections", the solo is an improvised section of the song, different from the head which many times is arranged beforehand. In this case, hes telling us that hes working it out of a lenny breau arrangement. meaning that this is not entirely his own work, he obviously kept part of the arrangement or else there would be no reason to note anyone but himself.
doesnt mean that he didnt go off an original score. retard. do you think segovia just made up all his classical pieces by ear? no. they are usually influenced by others/original and then fine tuned by ear to make it sound how you want it to sound. probably why this is a key higher than normal. retard.
you guys are stupid... read the description. This is a transcription that I've been working on of a Lenny Breau arrangement. Hes been working it out off of a lenny breau arrangement
im the idiot? its clearly his own arrangement. its his version of someone elses arrangement. It's not varied enough to be called his own arrangement. if this is so obvious then why havent you noticed? You speak like you have the mental capacity of a four year old
Ye gods, that was a fabulous rendition of Lenny's version of this tune. Boy, you nailed it. Those special chords he used are awfully elusive, but you seem to have discovered them just right. My hat's off to you, friend. Congratulations!! I wouldn't have known where to start looking for the "how to" on this one. It didn't defeat you, that's for sure. Great harmonics, too. You did it all.
well he got the note exactly like Lenny Breau is irrelevant the question is did he learn from the experience and can he duplicate it. Better to obsess about one song and get it to this level than worry about learning 100 songs perfectly if they are simplistic.
Dang dude, I thought I was the only guy with an ear to lift lenny's tunes!!! You play it well. Do you have a lead sheet to go off of? A couple of the voicings you used felt kinda funny. If you look at the lead sheet (in any jazz book) and transpose it to C, you can see what he's working alongside
thanks. , I was waiting for you to say "mike how tos it feel" Well done With spirit. bak in the days nobody, no guitarplayer had knowledge and tecnique and spirit that lenny had,,thers nobody like him.
So many thing that fev people can hear, he mede Chet Atkins feel like "why am I still playing"
Nice. It's truly obsessive getting into the inner workings of a Lenny piece. I've worked out some music from the Cabin Fever cd and it was quite a journey. And ignore the clown who said you need to get your voicings correct...it's about capturing the spirit of the improvised music...not mapping the double helix! Well done.
Clown eh? Quite the insult. Firstly, the spirit of improvised music would be captured if he was actually improvising, which clearly he isn't seeing as how he made mention of the tedious process of transcribing this song. Secondly, I was responding to a statement he made about analyzing the piece. Now I might be going out on a limb here, but most people agree in order to properly analyze a piece you must first have the notes correct.
Before you go analyzing that piece you might want to make sure you've got your voicings correct. I found a transcription of this song on Montreal Jazz Guitar which you might want to check out. It's not 100%either, but I'm sure between what you've got and what they've got you could get even closer to what Lenny was actually playing. Also, unplug that damn guitar. There's nothing more irritating then seeing a perfectly good acoustic guitar spoiled by running it through a pickup.
John Knowles tels a story of Lenny playing that song one time in the 70ties. When he had played it, nobody said anything, everyboddy spellbound. then a little girl, who did not know lenny at all, walked from the croud, and gave Lenny a kiss, and then evry body gave him aplause. (one long tune)
Thank You. I've had so much fun transcribing this peice; it's been kinda like putting together the most awesome type of puzzle! It's quite strange too, because although I can hear most of the chord voicings pretty well, I probably understand about 40% - 50% of what is actually happening Theoretically, so I'm going to tackle analyzing it next!
