Anyone who’s followed my site for awhile knows that I emphasize building your jazz vocabulary by listening to the players you like and working with good transcriptions of solos. The idea being that the more you work those licks and phrases into your own playing, you’ll eventually create your own voice when improvising. This is how you avoid sounding like you’re playing scales!!
If any of you enjoyed my smooth jazz guitar solo that I posted a while back, I want to let you know that you can now get your hands on the tabs and jam track for this solo. This is an awesome way to improve your soloing vocabulary in this style.
First, here’s the video of the solo if you haven’t seen it already:

I’ve put a lot of time and effort into creating an accurate transcription of this solo and the great thing is that you can download it now. Here’s what you get:
- Standard Notation – An accurate PDF transcription of all the notes that I played in that solo including chord symbols for the chords played throughout the solo.
- Tablature – You’ll know exactly where I played the notes on the fretboard with notation of slides, pull-offs, and hammer-ons.
- Fingering – You get my exact fingerings. You’ll be able to use these fingerings as a starting point when learning phrases from the solo.
- Jam Track – You can also practice the licks that you learn from this solo with an MP3 jam track.

Hi Leon! U r awesome.Can u sned me ur address and phone number plse. I’d learn to play guitar especialy this SOLO!. So plse help me.
Ive been playing for a while,I lve got most of my knowlege of music from books,which got me into reading.
I thought that if I could read music I would sound like George Benson,Norman Brown,Earl klugh,Chuck Lobe,and many other Guitaist.
It did’nt take me long to realise that something was missing.
I love your Style,and I know that I will gain a lot from you
Thanks Hugh, I hope you learn a lot. That’s great that you’re reading music. A lot of guys never develop that skill.Keep up the good work and thanks for visiting the site.

Gracias!! por tu gran trabajo y felicitaciones!! continua adelante. (from Venezuela). you help me to learn Jazz!! sorry for my english!
Hey, Leon, love your song and solos. I’m relatively new to music theory and brand new to jazz, but I know that it will always be my faorite genre of music. I’m a little confused as to what scales and/or arpeggios you are playing, it look like some sort of minor pentatonic and then some sort of major scale, probably F major because it says on youtube, but I was just wondering what are some tips on going beyond the boxed scale and all over the fret board because I have MAJOR problems with that. I don’t know if it’s that I don’t know what interval comes next or if I’m playing to fast to think about it. Thanks.
Hi Leon,
As you know Im from Brazil, and here the jazz is not the popular song, but I have been wathing your videos all the time and tried to learn with you, and I hope that in the future I can to play a little like you!

Leon…dig the solo…and I bought the tab and backing track….would be great to have the solo broken down into sections and played a little slower to make it easier to learn…if possible 🙂
Thanks!
