Here is another transcription of a great tenor saxophone solo by Bob Reynolds over the Charlie Parker tune Donna Lee.\u00a0 This is a video I discovered on Youtube a number of years ago.\u00a0 I immediately decided I wanted to transcribe this solo and put it into a folder on my computer entitled “Solos to Transcribe”.\u00a0 Unfortunately, like many things in my life, this solo didn’t get the transcription attention it deserved from me until recently.<\/p>\n
I found some other transcriptions of this solo out there on the internet but as I played through those transcriptions,\u00a0 I noticed some notes, rhythms and lines that I thought were “not quite right” (in my opinion……) so decided to transcribe this Bob Reynold’s solo on Donna Lee\u00a0 for myself.<\/p>\n
I actually used this transcription for a video lesson on my site called\u00a0 “Learning a Solo Note for Note Lesson<\/a>”\u00a0 which is a 46 minute video lesson here on my site<\/a> where I take you through my process of memorizing a solo note for note.\u00a0 \u00a0I teach you the reasons this is important and talk about what this will do for your playing and what it won\u2019t do for your playing.\u00a0 I take you step by step through this great solo one phrase at a time explaining what I am doing every step of the way while I work on memorizing Bob’s terrific lines and phrasing. Check it out here<\/a> if you are interested……….<\/p>\n Hope you enjoy the solo as much as I do.\u00a0 I pretty much have it memorized after practicing it so much!\u00a0 \u00a0Thanks to Bob Reynolds for his great playing on this!<\/p>\n
