I discovered this album recently that is full gems. I made this one because I thought that the 'cluster' harmonization was cool and it wasn't a too big project but I'll make some more ambitious transcriptions from the album shortly. Meanwhile... enjoy!
Thank you! I'm relatively new to this channel. I don't know if this is the best place to ask, and if it's already been answered, but I would love to learn more about your process. I don't know if a behind-the-scenes video could ever happen, but as a guitarist fairly new to jazz I can't even begin to understand how your mind must work while approaching these transcriptions. Do your years of training enable you to pick out each note in a cluster easily? Do you hear a chord and "just know"? And then there's the transcription process itself. Do you write out the chords by hand? Use a midi guitar...? Anyway, what you do is pretty cool. If you ever do (or already have) talk about your process I hope I find out :)

@@ooyeah75 Hi Lindsay, I'm not planning of doing a 'behind the scene'. The reason is that I'm speaking english like a 6 years old kid and I would loose all credibility... lol. Also, filming myself speaking to a laptop is way too awkward for me... and honestly I don't think I have that much to share. I don't use fancy technological tricks, I have some good speaker and a good software to slow down the tracks, adjust the pitch and do some eq when the bass is in the way. The rest is taking the time needed. I would say, I'm not particularly good in ear training but I transcribed so much music over the time that I have a good idea what is played when I hear it. Than, I confirm my hypothesis with trials and errors on my guitar. Most of my transcribing 'skills' come from experience in Jazz guitar and harmony, also having bought and use a great quantity of music books of all sorts. I just combined my 2 passions together. Regarding the transcriptions process, I'm writing the tabs first in Guitar Pro because It's really fast, than I just correct all the accidentals when I'm writing the chord names.
@ Thanks so much for the response! As a fellow Canadian who didn't do so well in French class, I won't judge ;) I don't know why I find it comforting to know your process. I wasn't sure if somewhere there was a trick that immensely sped things up. But no, it's just practice and hard work. Well, to me it's amazing what you can do. Thank you for sharing your abilities!
Lorne Lofsky's a wonderful player who's been making great music for a long time. Definitely deserves wider recognition. Thanks for this great take on Stolen Moments! It's very much appreciated. And this may turn some more people onto the great playing of the Canadian guitarist Lorne Lofsky.
In Bar 36 the triplet is on 2 (The G he's sliding into is starting on 4 end and his a dotted quarter note long). That moves everyone after a beat behind. In Bar 37 the phrase starts on 1. And somewhere between 42-47 you skip another quarter note. Theres no 2/4 bar. They're playing the form perfectly
Honestly Francois, as grateful as I am for them, I am too lazy to learn most of these transcriptions! I just like to be reminded/introduced to all this great music, and it is fun to be able to see what's happening harmonically while listening to it.
This transcription is great in terms of effort done to write it down for us. Free. Very particular clusters. Still, personally i don't like this version because it doesn' t respect the masterpiece this piece of music is. A true gem. The theme is way too different from the original. Btw great job as usual. The critic is not referred to Mr. Leduc.

Thank you a guitarist I can get behind

At first I balked at the solo, but quickly grokked. Thanks for opening up this tune that none of my current pals ever heard!

Oh wow!!!! This is fantastic!!! One of my favorite players.

My pleasure, great to hear that!
"it is fun to be able to see what's happening harmonically" . NO kidding, lucky you. :)
For me, this is very very nice. Loved it!
hey.. lorne lofsky.. ! will check in detail.
I would love to see transcription of "It could happen to you" from this album. Some of these chords are tricky to figure out.
I'm working on it, I'll post it at some point this month or next month.
@ Fantastic! You're the best!
