Sounds really cool.
 I must listen to some more Michael Brecker. Is that sax sound from your guitar or are you playing over the original solo?

QUOTE (Pedja Simovic @ Oct 21 2009, 06:12 PM)  Thanks a lot Matt. I agree with you, you MUST listen to more Michael Brecker Yeah, abslotely! Michael Brecker was one of our times most influential musicians. His playing is truly outstanding, continueeing the John Coltrane tradition. I just love Michael Brecker and have the most of his recordings in the jazz context. (it will cost a fortune to get them all, since he also was a session musician doing a lot of studio stuff) It's a pity that he died too early....... (due to cancer in his throat) Btw. good playing, Pedja !!!! //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

QUOTE (Pedja Simovic @ Oct 21 2009, 07:45 PM) I hope to do more Brecker solos and upload them on Youtube. It is great ear training for me and it is music that moves me in all sorts of ways. He really knows how to trigger my emotions with his original voice in music. Yeah, he really triggers me too, I've been a Michael Brecker fan, since the time of the first Brecker Brothers setup, remember when I first heard them on Swedish radio back in the end of the 70's. And then when Michael did his first solo release with Mike Stern... whaaoo, that was awesome. And his playing in Steps, 80/81... He contributed soo much! Btw. I think I have some transcriptions around, I can try to find them if You are interested... //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

QUOTE (Pedja Simovic @ Oct 21 2009, 08:09 PM) I will let you know Staffay. I really like doing things by ear but transcription could be useful after everything is done to double check for potential mistakes (if there are any) Yeah, I will definitely agree to that! Taking things by ear is the best way to learn. I use(d) to study transcriptions to get a theoretical view of what's going on in a solo though, in matter of notes and the rhytmic approach. (mostly without learning them ....  )//Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.
