Billie's Bounce George Benson's Solo Transcription

This is the Great George Benson's solo over Billie's Bounce by Charlie Parker. This recording is from the album Giblet Gravy(1968). I hope you enjoy it!.

whoa!!!! The solo I've been looking for!!! Seriously! I brought this to my teacher, downtown Chicago in 1982 (give or take a year or 3)....on my cassette player....he listened with me, in awe, and I remember he stopped the tape, and said...I cannot figure out what he did just there (on your amazing video it's at 1:56 to 1:58)....You sure figured it out!! Kudos to you, my fine riffing friend...just excellent!!!

[@diegourena607]

Glad to hear that! Thank you for your comment!

[@glen7695]

Incredible, excellent and fantastic. You got the feel, the tone, the phrasing, the fingering, the soul and the TALENT!!

[@axeman2638]

I concur, tasty playing, really swinging, sounds like one guitar.

[@KS-yb1wq]

[@richiebeirach3671]

[@sebastianastacio4403]

Abusadooor

[@retromograph3893]

Well done! ......... now, if you could work out the incredible chord solo that comes next, we'd be much obliged! 😂

[@jjemsnd7]

Damn dude! That is seriously impressive. Great job, incredible really. Now you have to do a part a two where you do the chord solo at the end.

[@NilsFrechilla]

@@diegourena607 many thanxx to share all this awesome work

[@vecernicek2]

Great stuff - this is a really good solo by Benson (and one of the still playable ones, if you know what I mean :) with a lot of his blues language. And you nailed the transcription. Good work, man.

[@diegourena607]

Thank you very much!

Bravissimo Diego!

Gracias Diego !

[@johnerlich697]

Great cover and great transcription of a great guitar solo! I wish that Benson had recorded more in this vein.

[@brznalogstefan8649]

just picked up the solo by ear but chord solo after that is the real challenge..at least for me

Nice playing, and nice sound on the guitar! Thanks

Thank you!

[@robertgannon2586]

Ouch, that’s hot!

[@capitannemo62]

Excelente!. Mi aplauso desde Argentina!!,

[@manliomazzon]

I think this tune is from the album Blue Benson, made in the 70's. Herbie Hancock on the piano, btw. This tune in particular was styled after Wes Montgomery "blues in F" (search for it on KZbin to see the similarities). In any case, fantastic job, mate!

[@diegourena607]

Thanks!!!

[@ledaswan5990]

What? This is a Charlie Parker song from the 1940’s. Wes hadn’t even recorded yet.

[@pilotparadiesvogel]

Great! ...just great!

[@mattiameis3300]

Wow!!! Bravo Diego!!!

[@diegourena607]

Thank you!

[@anokiaiyana286]

YEAH billie BUT please does anyone know how this score is added to the video ?

[@diegourena607]

Hi Anoki, thanks for your comment. I added the score using Adobe Premier and Finale for the music notation.

[@diegourena607]

I used Adobe rush to edit the video, first I cut the lead sheet, selecting like 5 bars at a time, then in the program, you put the video and one of the images and synchronize it, and so on. I hope this makes sense. I found this tutorial, maybe can help kzbin.info/www/bejne/h52odaaXabqskLM

[@AlexDuarteMusico]

Amazing! This solo is very difficult and awesome.

George Benson was in his 20s when he came up with that solo on Billie's Bounce!!

[@dave9497]

You can hear Hank Garland's influence in there...

[@diegourena607]

[@Mrfabby1972]

Yeah , because he wasn't "really helping us out" with this video, right?
