John Scofield “Kelpers” – Guitar Melody Transcription & Lesson

 It’s been a while since my last guitar lesson blog post, but I’m excited to be back in the swing of things. Today, I’m sharing a new guitar lesson featuring a transcription of a tune by one of my all-time favorite guitarists, the legendary John Scofield.

Since my band Elusive Souls is currently performing this tune live as part of our repertoire, I thought it would be a great opportunity to break it down and share the transcription with you. The included PDF contains a lead sheet with both the melody and chord changes.

This transcription took many hours and days to complete. If you’re able, please feel free to donate any amount you can afford to support my work. If not, enjoy this transcription as a free gift—thank you for watching. Tip Jar: Donate what you can

In the accompanying video, I demonstrate how to play the melody exactly as written on the lead sheet, showing fingerings in both the 5th and 7th positions on the guitar.

If you enjoy this lesson, let me know in the comments. I’d be happy to create a Part 2 where I explain and demonstrate the chord voicings used in this song.
