Hi! Of all the recent recordings I've done (about 60 spanning the past 9 or 10 months), there have been numerous requests for a transcription of my take on "Sunny" by Bobby Hebb. To check it out, click here. Enjoy!

I just completed the transcription (standard notation and tab), and I have to tell you that recording it was a piece of cake compared to the number of hours required to score it accurately. Wink

Wes-style octaves with chord punches for the head, followed by a four-chorus solo featuring a mix of blues and jazz language. A final head and vamp fade closes it out. Btw, this solo will be made available in a new series that will debut soon, so stay tuned...

John,

Thanks for the kind words. The new series reflects the past 12+ months of R&B and jazz recording projects, presently 60 solos (and counting) in all. I believe that it represents the best work of my career, and the series is tentatively entitled "Monster Guitar Solos," a nod to my influences who are clearly responsible for my acquired skill.

Like the popular Good Vibes Jazz Solo series, each edition will be available as an eBook with the guitar solo scored in standard notation and tablature, plus the companion mp3 audio file. My students and fans have been pushing me to get this series underway, so look for it soon.

I will definitely be on the look out for that. I've memorized several of your Good Vibes solos (Autumn Leaves, Rhythm Changes, and Four) and really enjoyed them all. I even used licks from some of those solos when I was jamming with some friends yesterday. I plan on getting more in the future.
Thanks for your past and upcoming work!
