Here is a solo for Exactly Like You.
So, Exactly Like You, a great little tune.
It's an old tune, but people love to play it, man.
And it's one of those songs that is just a medium tempo.
It's a grooving tune.
I've got a nice chord melody for it.
But here is the solo, and it's an intermediate solo.
I've been asked to do this
because it's part of our workshop tunes
that we're gonna have at our Yosemite Jazz
Guitar and Bass Workshop.
And so, the solo is not too hard.
It's got some really nice riffs in it, I think.
And we kind of focus on a lot of these double stops.
[D] _ _ _ [Em] As well as playing some diminished chromatic things
and altered chords.
And I'm gonna explain where all these notes are coming from.
So, if you haven't had a solo from me before,
this would be a good one to start with.
So, you know, the idea is to learn a solo,
a crafted solo that's got some nice riffs in it.
And you know what happens when you go out and play with it?
Is you capture some of those ideas
and you plug them [E] into your playing.
Now, you should memorize it, get it down,
pat, get all the fingerings down.
And then, after a while, you're gonna forget it.
But you know what?
Your improv skill has just moved up a step or two.
And you keep doing that with other songs, you know,
standards, I got a bunch of them.
I call it mastering standards.
And once you've done that, more and more times,
you've got all these licks, all these, the thought process,
all these associations with chords and licks.
And now, again, your improv is moving up and up and up.
That's a much better way of learning to improv
than, hey, here's a scale, here's a chord, play it,
good luck, see you later.
That is really hard, it doesn't work.
So you need to have something to play.
Remember, improv is the reorganization
of something you already know how to do.
So memorize this and learn the licks
and you'll be one happy camper.
And again, this, you know, exactly like you trans,
[C] you know, these songs go for tons of other tunes.
You know, Take the A Train.
What's beautiful about this song, it's got [F#] that five of five.
In other words, in the key of C, the five chord is G,
but [E] the five of G is D7.
And that is where, like, Take the A Train
or Girl from Ipanema, da da da da da,
a Desafiniata, you know, those tunes all have that in it.
