Here’s another\u00a0great\u00a0solo transcription\u00a0from one of my favorite recordings. \u00a0This is a fast blues called “Blues Up & Down” and is from the CD entitled “Heavy Juice”. \u00a0This CD features Scott Hamilton and Harry Allen both on the tenor saxophone. \u00a0Both of these great musicians swing\u00a0like crazy on this album. \u00a0This is a recording I would want on a desert island! \u00a0That’s how good it is. \u00a0 Any serious tenor sax player should have it in their collection.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0started this solo transcription a few years ago for a video lesson I did on transcription. In that lesson, I basically transcribed the first 3 pages of this solo as I talked about how to transcribe. \u00a0Slowing down the recording, figuring out the notes and rhythms, etc…………\u00a0Transcription Video Lesson<\/a>. \u00a0 This last week I finally decided to finish this solo. \u00a0 You could spend a year on all the material and lines in this solo. \u00a0It’s a goldmine! \u00a0 Don’t be scared off by the fast tempo, \u00a0try playing the transcription slow at first to get the lines and rhythms down. \u00a0You can work up your speed gradually until you are ready to play it with Scott and Harry.<\/p>\n

This solo is 24 choruses of a ripping \u00a0fast blues. \u00a0When you first look at the PDF you might be fooled into thinking this is an easy solo to play but try playing some of these lines with the recording and you quickly realize how awesome these guys are.<\/p>\n

Here’s some reviews:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • I\u2019ve been downloading your lessons for 4 months now (20 lesson) and I have noticed tremendous growth in my playing thus far! I\u2019m so happy that I stumbled upon your site!<\/em><\/li>\n
  • I have been shedding your materials for quite a while now and I love them! They are extremely well organized and presented and there are tons of \u2018em! I really appreciate your methodical approach and find myself referring students to your resources often.\u00a0 Thanks so much!<\/em><\/li>\n
  • I\u2019ve been a member of Steve\u2019s site for about six months now and the difference it has made to my playing is immeasurable. The (many) benefits of this membership are that you can have lessons at time convenient to you, they work out A LOT cheaper than face-to-face lessons with a teacher of the same calibre and you can replay them ad infinitum. I don\u2019t know how many times have I had lessons in the past where I\u2019ve ended up covering the same concepts when really a \u2018replay\u2019 of the last lesson would have been fine! I\u2019m not on commission here \u2013 just wanted to write a review to encourage people to do this. Without doubt the most time and cost effective investment I\u2019ve made in taking my playing to where it should be\u2026Cheers Steve.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
