I'm mixing things up once again the week, and I thought I'd bring you a beautiful bit of solo jazz guitar. This is another track from the great Kenny Burrell (following last year's lesson on Chitlins Con Carne). It's a great stand-alone piece that should be approachable, I think,  even to the non-jazzbos amongst you. Here's a link to the video -

And the tab can be found below. There are multiple ways I could have written some of this stuff out, but I've tried to make it as logical and readable as I can. Hope you have fun learning it. Speak next week,

Adrian

Hi Adrian! Happy New year! I really love this one and I think I am more or less getting there, but I would really appreciate your input on a couple of unnamed chords in the last few bars of the bridge section: the first one comes after the D7 (tab says 9,11,10,10) and the other comes after the B7b13 (7,8,8,8). I am trying to figure out what chords these are..! Cheers!

Fantastic Adrian. I love this.

Anything by Burrell is always welcomed! Also the killing floor vid and the country thing that you recently did all good stuff Adrian thank you. I still play chitlins con Karny . Kenny Burrell ranks up there as With Wes Montgomery for me. A good octive lesson would be something by Wes Montgomery….. just saying

OK, Adrian - you might have been able to get me to do scale exercises, but you will never get me to enjoy learning jazz guitar... ...Dammit Adrian, now look what you've done!

Philip Birch

As always, Adrian,, quite wonderful. Thank you.

Hey Adrian, I never quite figured out that bridge section on Soul Lament and therefore never really finished it. Really a great lesson and transcription! Thanks so much. I will get this under my fingers and start looking at some of your other lessons. Cheers, David

haha yes, jazz can sneak up on you like that - for the longest time I was never a jazz kinda guy, but eventually I came round to it, and now get a lot out of listening to and practising it.

Yes! I'm seriously thinking about looking at some Wes - certainly one of the all time greats. I know it will be quite a challenge for me to tackle something of his, but I want to try something later in the year.
