John Pizzarelli "I Got Rhythm" solo PART 1

I liked this video of John Pizzarelli playing I Got Rhythm so much that i decided to learn the both the solos and try to incorporate some of his ideas in my playing.

I knew there wouldn't be any tabs for it so i had to figure it out from the clip.

So here it is, slowed down (he's playing at roughly 138bpm) incase anyone else wants to learn it too!

...some of the fingering is a little different, but i think it's about 95% accurate.

CHECK OUT PART 2 FOR THE CHORDAL SOLO.

If anybody wants the tabs for this, send me a message with your email address.

Enjoy!

Could someone tell me on what beat of what bar the first note comes in

I treid playing this over the changes and i keep having to cut off the end of the first A

@Rg1527 if you're counting it out aith the metronome on the video then the first note comes in just before the 4.

This gets complicated but really the metronome is only half time, so what i've called 116bpm is really 232bpm, and the pickup starts on the 2& leading into the first bar of the sequence.

Sorry if i haven't explained that very well!

[nickrubberneck]

Tabs please! :D Awesome work !

This sounds so good. I envy anyone who can play well over the A section of rhythm changes. Everything I play sounds like it came out of an exercise book.
