    Just to have transcribed this solo is crazy. Let alone memorize it and finally play it with so tight, perfect timing. I just love Joshua’s transcriptions. It reminds us guitar lovers how big those legends (such as Coltrane) really were. And as for Joshua, it shows us how crazy talented he is.

    Thanks for making this. As a guitarist this helped me understand Coltrane in a different way.

      Its so different! My mind would be blown if a guitar player actually improved something similar.

    • @erin79
      @erin79 3 года назад +1

      Totally agreed. Just took my understanding, and therefore appreciation, of Coltrane up for sure. Seeing what he is really doing harmonically on an instrument I'm familiar with helps make more sense of it. Amazing piece.

    Hello, I am a jazz guitarist in Japan. This was one of the more amazing horn solo transcriptions/playing I have seen. I would love to see (hear) how you are incorporating these to your own playing. Please post more recent playing!

      @@farko63 no trane solo is that easy on guitar but if you don't mind time in the shed it's possible. a lot of what he's doing in this solo revolves around pentatonics, which guitar players are pretty familiar to in other contexts.

    Looking it at a glance, it looks like a lot of pentatonic and it reminded me of Jens Larsen saying something about great players using pentatonic not because it is easy, but because they can make great lines with it.

      @@joshmeaderofficial great playing. When you typically play a transcribed solo how reliant are you on the notation compared to going bit by bit maybe looping and mainly using your ears? I think it would be interesting for you to do a video showing you working on a transcription right from the start on a solo you have never heard before, your process
