Kenny Kirkland!

Check out this short but amazing clip of Kenny Kirkland swinging his arse off!



Click here for my trancsription. It's right hand only as I did it for guitar and I'm not about to search for ways to play those piano voicings on guitar without having major surgery done! This transcription is a rhythm masterclass! Have a look at the different combinations of triplets and the way he moves between quavers, triplets and semiquavers seamlessly. It would not only be great to nail the transcription and try to get down Kenny's feel, but also to apply these rhythms and swing feel to your own solos. Jerry Bergonzi does a whole class on transcribing rhythms from great solos and applying them to your own, so we must be onto something!!

Boom!

Hello, I've just thrown this blog together, sort of inspired by Andy P's practice blog. Perhaps I'll do the same sort of thing, not sure if I'll manage to post much to be honest. Here's a cool vid of a very underrated guitar player: Clint Strong. He's one of the tastiest players I've heard in that style (jazz/country a la` Brent Mason). Check out the guitar and tenor solos in this vid!
