Repost, John Coltrane plays Giant Steps from the album of the same name (1960).
I’ve been obsessing about this tune lately, so I decided I’d check out if there was a good transcription online. And there was a great one! This one, shown below.
So now I’m thinking about learning some parts, so I can work out my technique (this guy scares me), improve my phrasing because it’s still too awkward, and maybe one day start improvising something completely new over it. I’ve found a few good guides explaining different approaches on how to nail this specific chord progression.
