Description

This lesson is a transcription of 4 choruses that I played over a backing track of the song There is no greater love.

The 4 chorus transcription is an insight into how I use different devices in my playing. Some of the material that I use quite a lot in this solo,

• Blues phrasing on a standard
• Polyrhythms, groupings of 3 or 6 note rhythms
• 4th voicings moved around in the diminished scale across several chords
• Mixing chords and single note lines
• Phrasing across the barline
• Reharmonizing while soloing
• Repeated rhythmical phrases over a progression

The nature of the progression is so that it lends it self very well to the use of blues phrasing, probably because there are a lot of dominants and the melody is somewhat basic. Something that also makes it work well as a really swinging vehicle for a jazz guitar solo.
