Giant Steps (Ahead) - Fast Bebop 285 BPM - Jazz Guitar Solo with Tabs

[@mrjamesgrimes]

Good lord... I don't know what's more impressive that you can play that or that you were able to transcribe it into tabs

[@petercallaway3420]

both.

[@rillloudmother]

writing it out is by far the easier part.

I think every jazz musician should be able to to improv over the Coltrane chords

[@moze4168]

This felt like a legitimate interpretation with your own solo, just awesome dude! Most people just play the original or drop the tempo.

About time what I've been looking for on the Internet to learn some advanced jazz licks. 👍

this song is dope cause you can improv for decades and find new stuff

[@enzosoprano6992]

good stuff man. Jazz sounds so good to my ears!

[@yurib7067]

Good job from Zimbabwe Africa

[@stephen0793]

Very good. There are some jazz guitar covers of Giant Steps on KZbin that think that by playing really fast chromatic lines you are doing it right, but any jazz trained ear can see through that. Really like these solos

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Thanks! Good ears my friend . . .

[@stephen0793]

@@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar so are you just playing these changes straight? or are you using any shortcuts? I'd also like to know what your rig set-up is. Great tone!

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

There are no shortcuts for "Giant Steps" chord changes, I've played every chord arpeggio as written, starting with the root, the 3rd or the 5ths of each chord. It's pretty hard to play if you want to play it fast, that was my challenge. I don't use an amp for recordings, I play always directly in my audio interface using only compressor, EQ and reverb, that's all. Best regards from Mainz, Germany

[@pianosimply4862]

There is no more intellectual music than jazz - simultaneous composition and performance. I'm a pianist and, by comparison, bebop on piano seems infinitely easier on piano than on guitar. I'm genuinely impressed. The next Joe Pass.

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

It's good to know that there are still people out there who appreciate a good solo, thanks for that, greetings from Germany

[@1235anju]

This is pure gold. I have a question, as an intermediate guitarist who mostly play metal, where to start? Do you have any recommendations on what tunes or songs I should study or what theory should I know and what kind of routine I have to start do do as a guitarist? Sorry for my bad grammar and thank you in advance.

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Hi Anju, the best way to start with jazz guitar is with my youtube series "How to improvise - Part 1 - 7", that's the basic stuff.If you want to start with a complete easy to play song look at my lessons "C minor jazz Blues - Lesson", "Blue Bossa - Lesson" and "Sunny - Lesson".
