Giant Steps

Well that's not fair, the first humans were African...

I would agree it is a good exercise and practice song. As a student of jazz it is a lot of fun to take apart and really work on because you can experment with intervals and hard concepts. However I somewhat enjoy listening to it as well.

WOW. transcribing a solo like this must be real difficult! Great vid man. respect!

Can't believe I come here to see a Coltrane solo and I'm reading shit like this.

jeez coltrane should have given everybody a chance to run the changes a few times before recording haha

its just so damn fun to watch the notes go up and down.....lol

great vid! nice job mate

However, sweet to see the music move like that, i like seeing the grace notes. Good job. Now do Countdown!

Least favorite song of his, I think Giant Steps was originally a practice device, an exercise for digital patterns and transient modulation. When people blow on it at jam sessions, nobody sounds good on it. Theres not really an emphasized tonal center, It's the song that never ends. It's like Dust in the wind by Kansas, it's their hit song but everything else the group did was different and better all around. Yall should check out "A Love Supreme" or "Naima" or stuff he did with Davis

@vandoren59 if you were raised by niggers that makes you 100% nigger dumbass
