[jazz_guitar] Scott Henderson's Cover of Giant Steps
Chris Smart
Has anybody transcribed this one?
I'm sending it to the folks at:
http://halfspeedjazz.blogspot.ca/
in case they want to use it as one of their posted solos.
so for completeness, I'm wondering if anybody has transcribed it.
I'm nowhere near up to the task of transcribing or playing this one.

What recording did Scott Henderson do a version of Giant Steps on? You refer to "this one" but you don't state the recording or provide a link to a video or audio file or some other way to know which performance you're referring to. (I see a couple of videos attached to the digest format post I received of the Jazz Guitar Yahoo group mailings - one of them from "chrisblondal" - but neither of them is of Scott Henderson),

Hi William.
Sorry about that. Here ya go:
Artist: Scott Henderson, Steve Smith, Victor Wooten
Title: Giant Steps
Album: Vital Tech Tones.
Release date: 1998
Scott Henderson: guitar
Steve Smith: drums
Victor Wooten: bass
I was trying to find a version of Giant Steps
that said something new, didn't just arpeggiate, etc.
This is down a semitone, so the tune is in D, not the usual Eb.

Can anyone explain what's going on in the intro
with the rhythm? Obviously parts are delayed, but
I'm so used to hearing the original Coltrane
track, thatstart/stop stuff just makes my brain
hurt. I want to understand what's actually going
on there. How would you describe that sort of
rhythmic displacement technically?
Related stuff:
Wikipedia has a great article on Coltrane Changes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coltrane_changes
An excellent guitar-centric look at "giant Steps" can be found in:
Giant Steps: An In-Depth Study of John Coltrane's Classic (Book & CD)
by Joe Diorio
http://tinyurl.com/9oou93z
Description: "In this book, the legendary Joe
Diorio takes you through John Coltrane's classic
(and very challenging) improvisation vehicle
"Giant Steps." This in-depth study includes 17
single-note solos, II-V patterns, substitution
principles for both comping and soloing, and
eight complete chord-melody solos utilizing a
variety of harmonization techniques."
Unrelated: Diorio also has a great little book on Rhythm Changes.

P.s. The excellent and controversial book
Conrad Cork: A New Guide To Harmony With LEGO® Bricks (2008 Edition)
http://tinyurl.com/9cd6g6n
has some interesting ways to visualize and navigate the changes.

I seem to recall that version is in 7/4. (or similar odd time). Victor's
slap solo on Giant Steps in 7 (ie this version) is also worth a listen!

Vital Tech Tones - Giant Steps
This is Beautiful guitar playing ...but I wouldn't listen to it again. The chops and phrasing seem magic.
