So I was suppose to do their 'Round Midnight' collaboration but I ended just not being able to transcribe it, Joe's voice is so full and deep that it was completely covering Ed's guitar track. This said, we still have a crazy good tune to work with!
Every time I hear Ed on the radio I'm like.... man he's a mad scientist! But when you look closer he stays very close to the basic chord progression. I guess it's his unpredictability with rhythm, melody and voice leading that make him sound so hype. His guitar tone have also a lot to do with how these 'not so complicated chord' can sound so deep.
Before you ask, Ed is doing a very unique rhythm figure in a lots of his improvisation and I always have a hard time notating it. What he's doing is a quarter notes triplets that start on an up beat. I cannot use standard triplets notation because it overlap two bar. Mathematically, I don't think it is possible to notate it correctly maybe using like 32th or 64th notes but it would look like a mess and it would not respect the spirit of what is intended. So I'm simply writing it like it was a 'clave' starting on an upbeat and write 'Up Beat Triplets over. A 'Clave' is really close to a triplets in the feel so it make some kind of sense.... to me at least.
Cheers!
Thanks Francois. Great compromise. Love this track. Ed on guitar, Don Thompson on bass and Terry Clarke on drums. Very fond memories from my debut recording session at McClear Place studio in Toronto, February 1981.
Joe Coughlin I know this song is from a different record, but Second Debut was the first jazz record I bought as a young guitar player starting to learn. A fantastic introduction to the genre and I’ve always enjoyed your singing and the excellent musicians you have surrounded yourself with.
I knew about those fantastic guitar ewplorers .....ED BICKERT ...TED GREENE .....etc ...BUT here JOE COUGHLIN 's voice adds more and more to the magical
beauty rendition of this famous song . Precious , perfect , chef-d'oeuvre . Thanks to share .
Thanks so much for this. Excellent!
I love Ed Bickert, please do more :-) thank you for the transcription!
My pleasure!
Even just the voicings are worth diving into, let along all of the hard work you've done to transcribe how Ed uses them in that beautiful way only Ed can do. This is a fantastic effort, Francois - thank you so very much!
Ed was an amazing talent and a nice, humble fellow. Tough to find that combo these days.

Thank you so much for sharing your great transcription. This is so beautiful
Wow! Love this guy's playing!
You are the Best on UA-cam François
Ed gave jazz guitar a whole new dimension of sound on his beat-up Telecaster with delicate phrasing, dynamics, and smooth chord voicings and melodic flow. Merci, Francois for keeping his music alive and documented. Joe's deep voice adds the "bass" register to complement the higher register chords. Definitely one of the most under-rated musicians of his (and our) time. Keep them coming Francois - publish the entire collection . Aebersold has a series of learning books from on Barry Galbraith. Is it time for distribution of a Bickert series?
Yes absolutely! A book[s] of Ed's concepts/transcriptions would be most welcome!
And Francois, you're just the man for the job! I'd buy it in the blink of an eye.
excellent work Fran. Thanks for sharing . Congratulations!
Excellent! Thanks, for sharing.
IMO any student of jazz guitar would need to spend ? a year on this alone to incorporate what Ed was -thinking. Not enough to just learn the beautiful voicing- but to improvise with them-while he was appreciated by many, IMO the man still was such an under-appreciated genius and an inspiration. TY for the wonderful job.
It still amazes me that Ed Bickert was one of the only jazz guitarists who used a Fender Telecaster almost exclusively. During his era when Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass and Barney Kessel and Herb Ellis and many others were dominant names, Gibson arch-tops owned the jazz guitar market. To this day I know of practically no one else who can get such great jazz sounds out of a Tele---- and I don't think he used any effects as far as I know, just his guitar and amp settings. If you have further details I'd be interested to hear them.
You're probably already aware of Ted Greene, he's another telewizard in the jazz idiom.
great job your doing François , i mean superb . is it possible please to do
jim hall - two' blues . cant figure those thick far chords , and the tune is kinda tricky to .
thanks in advance .
Excelente muito obrigado por postar o vídeo 😀
Cool!
A-ma-zing!
First time I noticed his guitar playing somewhere was on the radio and it sounded like a Fender Rhodes and I realized though that it was a guitar and he played single notes. So I looked him up and found out that his progressions and solos are very pianistic.
and his guitar tone was out of this world as well . And I have not heard of fender telecaster player play with that tone since. I think he finger pick a lot of the simultaneous notes. just amazing
Did he play a lot of the chords with the seventh in the bass?
Most of Ed's tone is due to his light touch, and not that dependent on equipment, but it is worth noting that by 1981 he was using a humbucker pickup in that Telecaster, which makes it...not really a classic telecaster. But, you can hear much the same effect on Ed's sessions with Paul Desmond, all recorded when the Telecaster still had the single-coil pickup. The humbucker did allow him to leave a bit more treble when he felt like it, and you can tell it's a little thicker than his mid-1970s tone.
