The Best Things In Life Are Free Jesse Van Ruller Solo

Hi again!

It's been a while. I have transcribed a lot of stuff but been to lazy to write it down. Or sometimes it's just too hard to try and notate what I have lifted.
But here is another transcription of a solo by the wonderful Dutch guitarist Jesse Van Ruller. If you haven't checked him out?....
The solo is from The Best Things In Life Are Free from the 2002 album Here And There.
A not so often played standard form the 1956 movie with the same name, I think.

Enrico Pieranunzi's solo on Five Plus Five

Here is a trancsription of Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi's solo over Five Plus Five from the album Dream Dance with Joey Baron with Marc Johnson. Great ECM Album! As usual when lifting piano players I have only lifted the 'right hand'. Not the voicings, that's way too hard for me to do. The form is a blues and I just wrote out the chords of a regular 'Jazz-blues' even though Enrico is playing a bunch of crazy stuff. There is a lot of 'half-step up' stuff going on, I'm gonna try to make an analysis of the solo later, right now its summer and lots of gigs, less time for transcriptions.

Mike Stern 'Autumn Leaves'

Hi y'all.

Here is my latest transcription. Mike Stern's solo over Autumn Leaves form Bob Berg's album In The Shadows. Autumn Leaves is a classic jazz-standard that every Jazz student has to play and it can be a good idea to check out what the masters play over these changes. In this case the master in Mr Stern. Some interesting stuff here; bebop-scales and surrounds, side-slipping and 'Lenny Breu'-ish guidetones.
I hope you like it.

Keith Jarrett I Hear a Rhapsody

This is a trancription of Keith Jarrett's solo on I Hear a Rhapsody from the album Standards in Norway.
Lots of chromaticism and there is some side-slipping going on. I have only transcribed the "right hand" so you can play this on any instrument. It goes a little out of range if you play a regular guitar like me, I had to change octaves a couple of times to play along with the recording. The tempo is pretty fast so I slowed it down a bit using 'transcribe'. As usual when lifting Keith's solo I leave out his grunts and groans. :)
