Hey hey! Starting the month with one from the amazing Lage Lund. It's a Kenny Kirkland composition that is pretty eclectic, in the vein of Wayne Shorter. It took me a few hours to transcribe but almost 3 days to edit and make sense of the form and chord progression. There are two 15 bar sections followed by a 20 bar section that consist of 11 bar & another 9 bar G Vamp.... lol it took me a few hours to figure that. At the 2nd solo the bassist skip 1 bar of the 9 bar G vamp section, It took them a few bar to come back together so the chord notation doesn't match with what is played in the beginning of the 3rd solo. The chord progression is a succession of vamps and contrasting chord changes. I tried to notate it in a traditional ways but to really understand what's going on you would need to look into 'modal' compositions and 'non functional' harmony. I don't want to make a complete analysis but, just to give you a few pointers. In the vamp sections he is going from brighter to darker harmonies. Per ex, bar 1-3, he is going from Fm11 to Fdim. Than there are some non related contrasting chords, Fdim to Emaj7 to Am. Than the Am gets darker... and so on. Note that most of the harmonies are the result of slash chords even polychords in some case but It's not always reflected in the notation because I wanted to stick to something more digestible. Regarding Lage Lund solo, it is beyond my comprehension. Although it can sound disjointed at 1st, he stays pretty close to the composition and uses complex substitution devices and rhythmic displacement all along his solo. There's a super refined balance of triads, substitutions, jazz lines, motifs displacement, parallel movements.... etc. This could easily keep you busy for months. Have fun!
Great selection. Thank you. I really enjoy the more progressive and eclectic guitarists e.g. Billy Bauer. Don't miss out on another superb Norwegian guitarist, Terje Rypdal. A signature song of his is "The Pleasure Is Mine, I'm Sure."
