Jim has quickly risen through the ranks to be one of my favorite guitarists. There’ll be much more of him in the future.
Welcome to the site, Vimeo. YouTube just didn’t have the video and for once you do! You’re a shining star.

This solo had a large impact on my playing style and is a very early transcription of mine.
Wish there was a video on YouTube for everyone to listen to this great song…

It’s Dick Garcia! I’m not all that familiar with him, so… here you go. A great solo by Dick Garcia.

Les Paul | Lazy River

I’d rather post the melody he plays, but that’s suing territory for whoever owns the publishing rights to the song… oh well…

Johnny Smith | ‘S Wonderful
Posted: April 3, 2013 Filed under: Guitar, Johnny Smith, Transcriptions | Tags: 'S Wonderful, Don't Run, Johnny Smith, Walk Leave a comment »Spring is here, there’s no mistaking that it’s time to post a Johnny Smith solo. ‘S Wonderful is from the album “Walk, Don’t Run” (the only JS album I own for some reason…) and it’s a fast one.
YouTube doesn’t seem to have a video for this… Well, the music speaks for itself (assembly required). Maybe I should start checking for videos before I write out three choruses.
Anyways, get my transcription of Johnny’s solo after the break!
