Sean, this is so good. Just stumbled across your channel today. Definitely subscribed.

Love this video. As I transcribe more and more and isolate small lines, I'm starting to realize that some of the greatest solos are a collection of small, simple lines stringed together brilliantly to create beautiful phrases.

It's so true that so often, when we transcribe, we are left with material that is "simpler" than it appeared.
