Hi,

Can I ask you to send me this transcription?

[G8tr1522]

The end of the piano solo at 0:01 is one of my favorite jazz riffs ever. I get goosebumps every time to that.

[Lot2learn]

Impressive.

[Modes9]

All that "out" pentatonic stuff sounds like Woody Shaw when you do it on a trumpet.

[soundofgeek]

Hot damn, I'm impressed. I do actually play trumpet, albeit not very well - I know just enough to have some idea how good this is. Respect.

[DavesTrumpet]

Respect!

25 years ago I transcribed and learned the head (m. 227) out to the end- just a small portion compared to the overall solo. I know how very difficult this tune (and the rest of Love Supreve) is!! You did an incredible job! Would love to hear your performance of this solo without 'Trane in the background. The things you could do with that solo over different things, funk jam, hard bop, etc. Cool!

Questions, Charlie;

- How long would it take you to learn something like this? (after transcribing it)

- Do you have a strategy for learning things like this? A system, like Clarke's "how you practice" idea, working from the end to the start, beat by beat? Would you slow it down and work up the speed, or get sections worked out then join them together?

Hey Brett. When learning this solo, I first learned it by ear. That forces you to take it slow and lear it measure by measure. Then I wrote it out. This way it is a natural organic process.
