Analysis/Transcriptions
I've compiled a set of transcriptions and other material
that I've found inspiring or helpful. There are jazz guitar solos
by Peter Bernstein and Diana Krall's guitarist Anthony Wilson, some
Larry Carlton for the more fusion inclined, and a fabulous alto sax
solo by the late Art Pepper
