The Miles solo is much more laidback and also has some very interesting melodic ideas that are also a great example of why you should keep the analysis on the back burner at first.Click on "popular" for more contemporary titles, The Charlie Parker solo has some crazy fast 16 th note flurries that are really tricky for bass players at any level. Listen out for solos that are more 8 th note based and a little more sparse when you’re just starting out. Don’t start with something outside your ability! This solo is a little easier to learn which brings us to a really important point. We’re going to learn the Miles Davis solo that leads back into the final melody.

However, we’re not going to learn the Charlie Parker solo. In this lesson we’re looking at a solo from the popular Charlie Parker recording of Billie’s Bounce. If you’re just getting started you want to just take things easy, transcribe, learn those notes and play along. But don’t be in too much of a hurry with any of this. What you can do is take shorter fragments of a line and incorporate them into your solos a little easier. If you’re too purposeful with popping them in there as whole lines then they might sound a little too forced. Don’t Force The LinesĪlso, don’t be in too much of a hurry to replicate the lines verbatim in your own solos. They’re just lines.Īs you play them over and over you’ll get to know how they work on a more instinctive level over the chords at that point in the solo. You don’t need to understand exactly what they are in terms of chord tones, enclosures, passing notes and all that stuff. But don’t be in a hurry to break them down too much. Learn the solo, learn the phrases and take note of the chords they work over. One thing I’d advise when starting out is to not get too analytical.

Solos are made up of a succession of phrases that you can see as similar to sentences in speech. You get to experience what those phrases are. You get to know what they feel like under the fingers. If we forget about the notes for a minute, the rhythm and phrasing is such an important part of soloing and by playing along to a solo you get to play those rhythms.

Well when you transcribe a solo and you play along to that solo you’re developing your vocabulary and phrasing. If you’re looking to learn to solo, especially in a jazz style, you really need to devote a LOT of time to transcription.
