Attempting the Blues
Miles Davis solo, from 1951!
I have heard stories about some of the great modern classical guitar players and how they would study under a cello player or trumpet player or some other instrument's instructor rather than a guitar teacher. Since each instrument has its own voice and idiosyncrasies studying them can be adapted into making you a more versatile, balanced, and interesting player. At this stage, I'm still trying to wrap my head around what the guitar does.I do believe that there can be great value in transcribing some of the solos played on other instruments and adapting them to guitar. A lot can be learned that way.
Hi I think it is very sad that this society we live in has a problem with the color of your skin, I have been listening to alot of rhtyem and blues as of late and these guitars players they still amaze me , they were just so good. WarrenAre you kidding?!? That's Miles Davis. I'm not sure any of us are high enough on the cool-and-hip-scale to listen to that, let alone to try and transcribe it.
Kidding aside, I don't think I could transcribe that in my wildest dreams. Miles is the man! I listen to him occasionally while I'm working. I can zone out to it and get stuff done or stop and listen closely to it and appreciate the music Or I can sit back in my chair, stare off into space,and pretend that I'm Maynard G Krebbs.. He and his players are amazeballs!! Those cats knew where it was at.
