Подбор мелодий:

  • If you are unsure about which solos to transcribe, check out my 3 Transcriptions That Changed My Playing lesson.
    • Sing the transcription along with the recording.
    • Sing the solo, line by line is fine, while you comp the chords on guitar.
    • Sing one line at a time, and find the notes on the fretboard from your voice.
    • Play one line at a time along with the recording to check your work.
    • When you have one chorus, work it with the recording to ensure you are playing the articulation, phrasing, and picking correctly.
    • Finish the transcription in the same manner from here.

Как подбирать мелодии?

  • While it is important to learn how to play any transcription you are studying, this is usually just the beginning when it comes to working on the material found in any transcription in your studies.
  • Here are a number of exercises that you can do in order to take any transcription further in the practice room.
    • Play it with a metronome from 40 to the given tempo.
    • Play it with a backing track from memory.
    • Play it with the original recording from memory.
    • Sing the transcription with the recording, and with a backing track.
    • Play each line, ii-V-I’s for example, in all 12 keys and apply them to your soloing phrases over this tune, and others, in your studies.
    • Using a backing track, play the first line of the solo at that point in each chorus, and then improvise the rest of the form on your own. Repeat with each phrase from the transcription.
    • Using a backing track, play one chorus from the solo, and then improvise one chorus, alternating that way throughout the track. Repeat with each chorus.
    • With a backing track, play the same rhythm as the transcription, but you improvise the notes over the backing track.
    • Practice one chorus at a time, and then the whole transcription, in 12 keys.
  • Read about this approach further, including how to transcribe chords, in my Practicing Jazz Guitar Transcriptions lesson.
