Days of Wine & Roses - Herb Ellis (Transcription)

[@producer2123]

So beautiful. We don't celebrate Herb Ellis enough. Technique, swing, phrasing, harmonic and melodic imagination -- he had it all. Oh, and your transcription is world class!

[@kirkhuneycutt4227]

It's easy to forget about Herb in the history of jazz but hearing (and seeing) this tune reminds me of his total genius.

[@amansmusicae]

Wow!!! Now it's possible to see on the musical score the genius of the great Herb Ellis. Thank you very much for this wonderful work!

[@guitar1067]

Superbly swinging. Glad I got to see Herb two nights in a row with the Great Guitars (Byrd and Kessell). They swung the heck out of the Flintstones Theme (written by Herb). This live Days of Wine and Roses is brilliant. Thank you for transcribing.

Thanks for the score and video. Been waiting for years to have this comfort level. As an old man it's great to sit in the studio with audio and charts in sync.

[@andybaldman]

You are insane at transcribing. And your taste is impeccable. You are singlehandedly improving the jazz guitar community with these transcriptions. THANK YOU FRANCOIS!

Has anyone ever seen the episode of Sanford and Son, where Herb Ellis played a Christmas song while accompanying Redd Foxx? If not you should check it out.

Que belleza !!! Thanks for share!!!!

[@Skorupq]

Great!

[@Hijodenels]

Nice transcription. It seems a lot of transcriptions on YT display a lack of "enharmonics smarts" (when to use sharps or flats). This often presents the sight reader with more of a challenge (not always a bad thing) but is still awkward. Also wish there was more diligent proof-reading too as some of these transcriptions are loaded with errors (e.g. bar 34 octaves are written as major 7ths - Eb's should be D's; bar 198 rhythm is displaced, etc. etc. ). So much work went into this, why not go that extra mile?

Thanks... but yes this one have pretty bad notation. I'm doing 5+ of these per months so there are inevitably some mistakes here and there. Also this is an old one, the notation have been corrected since and I'm getting better with every transcriptions. You will not find these enharmonic errors in my recent transcriptions and the files on my website have all been corrected. Thanks for the Q. Cheers!

[@tomgnau]

Wow.

[@marcin7413]

Hello francois, i got one question bro. Will you ever do or plan on doing the transcription to Someone to watch over me - played on Joey B's wedding? Thanks a lot btw

原曲を踏み台にして、テクニック自慢ですかね、ハイハイお上手ですね。その時代ですか。
