ptabJazz Chord SoloingDonna Lee (Charlie Parker)  Fred Krubelÿ£Play with thumb. Try playing long chords as staccato. Top note of chord is the solo melody. The 3rd and 7th interval of the chords are the most "important" notes. The root and 5th may be left out entirely. 9th, 11ths, and 13ths provide color. Altered notes, mostly on the dominant 7th chords provide tension, which can be resolved through "inside" consonant notes. Check the transcription of Donna Lee already in the PT Archive to see the chord changes, melody (important!), and Charlie Parker solo. Maybe try accompanying the Bird solo with the rhythm guitar OFF to hear how these chord substitutions work with the original changes. Or maybe cut and paste the different TABs into each other... To construct chord solos of your own get one book called CHORD CHEMISTRY by Ted Greene. This book is a Berkelee School of Music standard text. Anyone of any style can keep themselves busy with the book'a concepts for a lifetime! 2004ÿÿCGuitarGuitarh@Standard@;72-(ÿÿ CFloatingTextCHECK PERFORMANCE NOTESøÒ'Times New Roman ÿÿ CGuitarInÿÿ CTempoMarker, ÿÿCSection2 ô$€A Chord Solo!ÿÿ CChordTextÈ €È € Ç €Ç €Ç €ÇÿÿCStaff9  ÿÿ CPositionÿÿ CLineData€!€A€a€€€!€C€a€ €€!€B€a€ €€!€B€a€ €€€!€A€`€€€!€A€`€€€!€A€`€€€!€A€`€€ €€!€A€`€€€d€#d€Ed€fd€ ÿÿ CMusicBar €K€ €K€ € €2 ³€ €É €É € Ç € Ç €È €È €É €Ç€$ €€€&€F€f€€€&€F€f€ €€&€F€e€ €€%€F€e€ €€€$€E€e€€€$€E€e€€€$€E€f€€&€F€d€¦€€€%€E€d€…€¥K€ €K€ €K€ € €2Í o€ €Á €Á@ € &&Ç € &&Ç €È€ €É €É €Ç€ €€€!€A€c€€€!€A€c€ €€%€C€d€ €€%€F€d€ €€%€F€d€€€(€F€f€€ €)€H€h€€ €+€J€j€€ € €)€H€h€€€€'€H€gK€ €K€ € €2‰ .€ €Ç €Ç €Ç € Ç € Ç €Ç €Ç €É€$ €€€'€H€g€€€-€N€m€€ €*€K€j€ €€(€G€f€ €€(€G€f€€€(€G€f€€€#€E€f€€€#€E€f€€€&€F€f€€€&€F€fK€ €K€ €K€ € €2H ä€ €Ç € È€ € É €Ç €Ç €Ç €Ç€ €€€&€F€e€€€&€F€e€ €€(€F€f€ € €)€H€h€€ €*€L€j€€ €*€K€j€€ €*€K€j€€€(€G€f€€€#€E€fK€ €K€ €K€ € €2þ  € €Ç €Ç € Ç € Ç €Ç €Ç €É €Ì€€€€&€G€f€€ €(€G€f€ € €-€M€l€ €€)€I€h€€€%€E€d€€€!€A€`€€ €)€H€h€ˆ€€€+€I€h€ˆK€ €K€ €K€ € €2º b€ €Í €Ç € É € É €Í €Ç €É €Ì €"Ë€' €€+€J€k€Š€€)€I€h€¨€€)€I€h€¨€ €€&€H€f€ €€(€H€f€€€&€F€e€€€%€C€f€€€%€C€f€€ €)€H€h€ˆ€€€+€I€h€ˆ€"€ €)€J€iK€ €K€ €K€ € €2| $€ €Ë €Ç €Ë € É € Ç €É €Ç €É€!! €€ €)€J€i€€ €,€M€l€€€&€G€f€€ €€&€G€f€€ €€$€E€e€ €€$€E€d€€€"€C€c€€€"€C€a€€€"€C€a€€€&€E€eK€ €K€ € €2> ã € €É €É €È €É € É € Ç €À`€! €€€&€E€e€€€$€C€c€€€!€A€a€€ €€$€C€c€€€€&€F€f€ €€&€F€f€ € €&€F€f€ €€%€F€e€€ €+€J€j€€ €+€J€jK€ €K€ €€Untitled!h@Bass+&!€ €2 }€€ ArialTimes New RomanTimes New Roman
