Solos and tunes transcribed by Andrea Goretti
The transcriptions
Solos and tunes transcribed note by note, from the classics of the ’50s and ’60s to more recent material. Some transcriptions are free, because open access to culture helps everyone grow; the others cost a few euros and help support this work.
A transcription is only a guide: to truly absorb the language you need to listen carefully to the recordings and learn the solo by heart.
