Hey, thanks man! How long it takes for me....it's a bit difficult to answer, because I used to pick up this solo about 10 years ago...then I almost forget it, but when I tried to pick it up again, I realize my brain and body have some old memories inside.

So I guess it takes beetween 3 and 6 hours, maybe. It's not very easy to play it from the beginning t'ill the end with no mistakes... :(

No, I didn't slow it.

Wish you some good work man,

cheers!

Wow, you played the shit out of that. No kidding. I thought it was Chick until you showed your face. The amazing thing is that Chick could sit down and play a completely different awesome solo 50 times in a row as it's truly improvised. I really wonder how much analysis really goes in when he plays it? Certainly he knows the scales but I bet he just plays what works and feels right at the moment. Anyway, great technique. I really enjoyed it :-))

Yes...that's exactly what I'm saying !

by "make's us here a strange "F maj dominant" superstrucuture..."

I meaned "make's us here a regular "F maj dominant" superstrucuture which sounds really 'strange-great' with B minor"....and the approach notes of the superstructures brings very tasty notes to my hears ;)....

[fedalxis]

@nitsugua1981 seems like a regular tritone substitution. Bb Maj7 is a dominant sus 13 upper structure for C7 chord.

Hi Nickey,

I didn't get you...F#-Bb-Db-E and Bb-D-F-A- (or Db-F-Ab-­C-) are not the same type of chords, ther's not a simple "transposition"or something like this....

[knotty75]

Ca rigole pas! Excellent!

[nitsugua1981]

And at 1'03, he just play something incredible, that sounds great, and seems first be strange on a regular F# dominant. He's playing a Bb Maj7 arpeggio.

I think, he just played like if it's C7 dominant, the triton substitution of F#, make's us here a strange "F maj dominant" superstrucuture...

But I'm sure he just don't care about all this shit when he played this...and even after playing it... ;)

Cheers!

Hey, first it's not me who's using, it is Chick !

On the F# dominant, he used most of the time in this solo the diminished scale (in french we said "half tone/whole tone scale", or "Mode 2", according to Messiaen's classification).

Sometime he's just taking an arpeggio as a supperstructure, like an Eb7 arpeggio (which is contained in the famous diminished scale).

And sometime he's just mixing all these stuff with chromatics approach...and a perfect sense of rythm !!
