Autumn Leaves solo
Mike C.
Garrison Fewell. It's about half way down the "Lessons" page, at
http://mikecrutcher.com. Or you can go directly there through
http://home.comcast.net/~funkifized/lessons.htm. The file can be downloaded
directly by clicking
http://home.comcast.net/~funkifized/AutumnLeavesSolo.PDF. It's an Adobe
Acrobat file. Worth studying and learning.

It's neat how your web page goes from the G major scale to the next step, a
transcription of Wes Montgomery solo on Four on Six.

For those interested in this solo, you might be best checking out Garrison
Fewell's other material, especially his book "Jazz Improvisation". It's
pretty clear and concise, using very melodic examples of solos over chord
changes based on jazz standards. Check out http://garrisonfewell.com. I
don't have anything to do with him, I'm just a satisfied ex-student of his.

I've read some of Garrison's columns in Guitar Player. They are really well
written.
I was playing through the Autumn Leaves solo. It sounds pretty good and the
lines make logical sense.
I was just wondering, near the end, should there be an Eb instead of an E in
the tritone sub from Em7 to Eb7? (I think that's what it was).
Thanks.

out of interest (I had 30m to spare...), some useful stats:
32 bars solo
213 notes altogether
average 6.6 notes/bar
142 chord tones out of 213 notes (66%)
most use of chord tones appears on F#m7(b5)
The most striking figure is the somewhat high percentage of chord
tones,
was this a "technical" exercise or an actual solo transcribed? Either
way, it is musically very good. I must admit, from a student
perspective, I found it an interesting analysis to do (and yes, I do
have a life!)
(There may be some slight discrepancies with the figures but the end
result is the same)
Regards to all
(Perhaps there is some software that can do this already??)

I guess a "technical" one. It sounds like what he explains in
his book, which I liked very much.

Perhaps it is something weird but when I open the PDF file it is just
gibberish. I have opened some other files from you site
http://home.comcast.net without having an issue but most are just
of the gibberish nature. Is there some plugin I don't have or version
of adobe I need. I am currently running ver 5.0
Thanks in advance

It *does* seem like a technical exercise, but the result is very musical.
I've seen/heard Garrison play a solo off the cuff and it turn out like this
one. Seems that he is at a level at which he can consciously play this
"technical" and still be musical. I believe that this is the point of his
book; to learn to have this depth of facility. He can play with a tendency
toward chord tones and consciously decide when to throw in some blues, or
some outside notes, etc.
You'd probably be best e-mailing him about it, but I'm 99% positive that
this was an improvised solo that was transcribed. I believe you can find his
e-mail address at his website, http://garrisonfewell.com.
I don't know of any software that analyzes solos, but I do know that Band In
A Box can create solos in the style of a number of players, over chord
progressions that you can specify.
Mike C.
want to check with Adobe about that. I'll e-mail you privately with an
attached copy of the file. See how that works for you.

I wondered that myself. I suppose it could be either. The E note would
suggest b9, which would be a very hip note. Sounds like something Garrison
would do. However, you might want to e-mail him directly if you're really
concerned about it. His contact info is at his website,
http://garrisonfewell.com.
I agree, his columns in Guitar Player *are* really well written. His book is
also well written, and he really does teach that way, too. He told me that
he studied with Pat Martino and with Lenny Breau. His Lenny Breau-like
harmonics are really top notch. He's also a pretty cool guy, and I'm sure
he'd be happy to answer questions about the solo.

Try a different version of Adobe Acrobat. The file was made with
Adobe 4.05, and I can't view it with Adobe 5.0 (same rectangles), but
I can view it with 4.0. Not sure why, and I don't have time to go find
out today. Maybe later in the week. I keep both versions on my
computer because of things like this.

I've just received an e-mail from someone who upgraded to Adobe 6, where it
works fine. I guess it's a problem with Adobe 5.0. Go figure...

Mike,
I may buy his book since I loved his columns. He explains concepts instead of
"trick licks".
Does his book cover a lot of ground?
Also, please keep adding to your page. It's a great resource.

Well, I think it does. It covers improvising over standard changes, mainly.
How to navigate ii-V's, minor ii-V's, tritone subs, etc. Great stuff.

Thanks Mike, I have BiB and it is a very useful software program.
Perhaps we have the genesis for an idea for a new software program
that can look at a score and highlight notes according to cerain
parameters, e.g. chord tones,
proximity to scales etc. - but then again isn't this what a good
student
should be doing anyway??

Yeah, exactly. It comes down to taste, of course. Sometimes you can have
chord tones on weak beats, and sometimes not. It can have to do with how the
player accents the note, as well. The computer would really only be able to
guess.

I have two records by him and the solos on those are quite different from
this solo.

Improvised on stage, in the studio, or behind his desk (maybe even
with a MIDI converter), because he wanted an "educational solo"?

I did play for a long time with it, but the solos BIAB
generated for different artists sounded quite similar to my ear.
