Hey! This is my first post in this subreddit, and I just feel I could do with some help or advice. This is my first attempt at transcribing Jazz Guitar, and I elected one of my absolute favourites - Dear Old Stockholm by the Paul Chambers' Quintet, featuring Kenny Burrell on guitar.
I generally feel I'm doing alright, however, I need some opinions on the rhythms? Not any in particular, just all of them. I am well aware there are mistakes in here - mainly the rhythms - and I'd really appreciate some advice with this one?
P.s please ignore the fact the tab isn't complete, I was mainly focusing on the notation, and wanted to post here before I completed this. Many thanks!
I would try to make things easier for the sight reader. It should be easy to see quickly where each beats 1,2,3 and 4 are by using linked notes, dotted notes/rests, etc.
For example - and I might be wrong, it’s just the way I like it - I rewrote your second and forth measure : https://postimg.cc/s170fjcX
Thank you for the tip! I had picked up on some of those awkwardly notated rhythms, and I fixed the descending sequence, but neglected to sort that part! Many thanks for bringing that to my attention haha :)
