Devilette Solo  Transcription for guitar by Dexter Gordon


I will be uploading a new jazz solo transcription from any random featured artist every couple of months.  The first Jazz transcription solo will be by American jazz tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon. There are many reasons for transcribing and for me it is to help with my jazz phrasing, ear training and to learn the many soloing tricks and devices that the pros use. So download the notation and  guitar tab at your convenience and enjoy. Cheers






Here is  Video link to the song. Dexter's Solo starts at the 50 second mark
 

Here is a demo of me playing the entire solo
with the recording

Bye Bye Blackbird melody as played by Miles Davis for guitar

Bye Bye Blackbird



   From now on I've decided to learn any new jazz standard by ear and keep way from learning the melody from a fake book. Every couple of months I will post a featured jazz artist solo or melody transcription. I wanted to learn Bye Bye Blackbird when I recently heard the version played by Miles Davis. So learned it by reading the version from my fake book and soon realized the one fake in the Fake book sounded lifeless and boring. So I decided to lift the melody from the Miles Davis version and man the phrasing sound so much better and melodic. I didn't have time to write it out neatly on my computer with tabs and notation software, so I will be posting it with my chicken scratch hand written on manuscript paper. The song is in F major with one flat (Bb). Hopefully anyone who comes across this post can read music. In the future, I will edit this post and republish with neater notation and tabs to go along with it. Enjoy! and if you can't read music, please visit my past blog post on how to get started in learning how to read music on guitar.
