Its time for another transcription challenge. The song is Escher Sketch and Ill leave it to you to find where in the solo this nugget occurs.

Dont freak out. Im gonna make this easy for you and show you how to dismantle a seemingly difficult riff and make it your own. There are a lot of jazz books out there, and sure, they make you feel good for 24 hours after they hit your shelf. But how do you feel when they stare at you from your bookshelf 9 months later and youve only looked at the first 6 pages? Do you think high school garage bands begin by studying transcription books or by listening for hours to their favorite bands? To put it another way: do you think Joe Lovano, Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Michael Brecker, Kenny Garrett, Stan Getz, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, Gerry Mulligan, Branford Marsalis, Mark TurnerI hope you see where Im going with thislearned to play jazzto play musicfrom reading books of transcriptions or licks in 12 keys?

Ill give you a minute to consider. (Whistling theme to Jeopardy) Times up. The answer is HELL NO!!! Stop fooling yourself. Looking at more ideas with your eyes will produce better results for your (our) ears. You can do better than books. Youre going to do it the right way. And if the lick I play in this video seems too difficult, please trust meI will walk you through this step by step. Youre gonna get it. More importantly, youre going to strengthen the muscles needed to do this anytime, with any player.
