If you are a saxophone player and you want to study this solo, remember that you can play this video at 1/2 speed clicking the wheel in CZcams player. - Hudba
Michael League on bass. Major League on tenor.
Extraordinary job.
7:22 Coltrane Moment
That's the moment when the "deal with it" glasses fall onto Chris Potter's face from off screen.
Moment giant steps
3:20 putting this here for reference
youre damn right
I'm about a year late and just discovered this masterpiece. 3:20 is almost a direct quote from the emperor's new groove soundtrack
I thought it was inspired by Cory Henry’s solo
Killjoyrock OMG I THOUGHT THAT TOO
1:56 - 2:10 i love this part where Chris & Mike play around each other right before the build up. Such a great organic moment
3:20 that lick was so good
The build up of the whole solo till this point where he takes off is exactly how a solo should be structured. The rise to the mountain top then the jump off the cliff just to climb again and again is perfection.
4:09 is one of those moments that we all have jamming with friends
7:59 for anyone looking for the lick from the top comment in the original Bob Reynolds vlog video (9.58). Thanks for transcribing this!
Killer.
3:06 gets me every time, DAMN those are some dirty bars.
Whenever i hear this beauty, i think that Chris Potter, is the "infinity evolution" of Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane on the saxophone. A passionate perfectionist, with style and warmness!
I think tradition is to say "tenor sax for sale" to any of Chris Potter's solos... This is amazing, the transcribing is beyond impressive!
I am addicted to this solo
I think it’s my favorite solo of all time, any instrument, any tune. 😮
Man this is some space alien-level playing. I can't even begin to wrap my head around some of these lines
Just the thought of transcribing this beautiful work of god into a music software with cringy midi saxophone sounds hahaha
Someone get simon to make a meme of this but in midi and over giant steps
The whole thing is impressive, and I will never be able to play it entirely but it has so many lessons to absorb, like what he does in bars 150 to 154. The way he combines so many variations in such a small range of notes, it's impressive. Chromatism at its best.
Well done transcription. Thanks for all the hard work!
The music is simply exquisite.
thx
Amazing that you transcribe this solo, Thank you for your contribution...fantastic work!
3:30 and on is so sick!
This is great!
Thanks for your work!
Loads of thanks and even more respect!
Thank you, Julien, for your generosity in helping us understand how this genius thinks.
I've always kicked myself for giving up on playing my sax after I graduated from college and had to try to become an adult. After listening/watching this, I think I've been too hard on myself. Giving up on my sax was probably for the best. If I practiced for at least 2 hours every day since college, I'd still not even be close to this level of mastery.
I've heard a lot of stuff from Chris Potter, and he's always amazing, but to see it transcribed like this just blows my mind. Granted, it's all improvised and he probably has no idea what he even played as soon as he was done, but it's impressive to look at all the same.
8 hours a day and not even close!
Thank you so much for the transcription. Really appreciated.
thank you so much Julien you're an actual legend. also holy balls Chris can play, this had me so excited
Nice job Julien ! Super boulot ! Merci pour ça !
Great job ! Well done. Even if I can't touch m'y sax for one week after listening it 😂😂😂 gosh he is à genius.
HOW DID YOU TRANSCRIBE THIS SO QUICKLY!!!!!! Absolutely amazed!
Julien, thank you for york work !! So good solo ))
1:30 ooft
Thanks for all the hard work!
YES THANK YOU
Thank you very much Julien for this great transcription ! You're great.
thanx
Julien, you are a gem. thank you for doing this.
Thanks
julien M Agreed. You are a genius to do this in one day! You didnt sleep!
Incredible.
Awsome work bro thank you really much !!
Killer. Thanks!
I never hear this before.. that’s too cool 😎🔥🔥🔥🎷
Amazing work!
Great stuff pal! Well done.
That whole solo was entertaining! Every note!
3:50 is when i got fucking impressed
7:57... yeah okay this is now in my arsenal from now on! Fire!!
Impressive! Good job!
what an amazing job! Thank you!
Ur welcome
I wouldn't be able to play this during my current lifetime...but anyways is great source of bits and pieces that any intermediate player can study, assimilate, and see the refreshing ways he approaches a basic riff that I would run out of ideas in 1 minute....
Thanks for this....
If you take let's say a minute for year, you can nail it in nine years for sure, probably less. Anyways what's the urge? if you love listening it, any tiny bit you assimilate is worthwile and for good
Thanks for the sync man.
This is the best singular thing to have ever existed.
FINALLY
Thanks!
ey man, great work, its really fascinating. just one little request. could you possibly upload an E flat version of the transcription? that would be the best!
thx for your time and effort
Solo impressionante. demais, show 1000
Holy Moses that was fun.
nice!
genius.
3:30 Bob berg lick..
1:17 saving for later
Digging through comments, but I've stolen this lick so many times
МОНСТР!
Killin
Could be this the XXI century equivalent to Paul Gonsalves solo with Duke Ellington at Newport in 1956, if we talk about LEGENDARITY?
Maybe even theThird Millenium equivalent.
Hey guys appreciate your hard work. Is it possible for you guys to upload a link for one in concert key?
Thanks!
"Oh my god!!"
Holy shit!
3:57 mmmmmm tasty
Spicy
Fantastic work. I just noticed in bar 29, the last 1/4 note B should be a 1/2 note, tied to the wn in the next bar. No biggy, but I get the impression you like to do things accurately. Bravo!
Now this guy’s actually a wizard
7:59
WOW!! How long did it take to get those rhythms!!! He is just killing it here with very little chord movement!!
@Saxology do you mind if I take some screenshots to put in my own video for my own practice? I don't think I'll be using more than one minute of video, full credit to you in the video and description
I never could imagine this is in 4! the bass drum always throws me off
yeah, listening to it now it is pretty obvious. The studio one with Corey Henry's synth solo is the one that gets me
Cool stuff which is hard to translate to a chart. I noticed the half step up above the chord and back down and a host of other cool things. Thanks for putting in the time to do it. By the way, is it just me or is this almost impossible to count? LOL
Am I he only one who wants to hear the midi recording of this? xD
yes 😂
Believe me, you don't want to hear that, that's unbearable.
Why would you want that? Genuinely curious
I want this to be on the Super Nintendo sound chip. F-Zero style.
Can someone shed some light on what the tone fall off on the high E in bar 33, at 1:03 is called and how one might learn to articulate that? Im having so much trouble trying to imitatw scott hamiltons solos because he does this a lot and i havent figured out what to do to get the same effect.
Also what are the little pluses above the notes and what is that effect called? These two articulation skills i have been trying to figure out for ages
Alex K The first thing is just a “fall”. You can get this effect when you play the tone and then drop down your chin slowly until the tone falls. It’s about pressure on the reed and mouth position. The second thing is called false fingering. There are charts on the internet where you can find these fingerings. To get the “false A” you have to play a D without putting your left ring finger on the G.
Wow, great job! One minor thing I noticed is that some phrases are part of the melody rather than Potter's solo (for example bar 267).
Impressive job, transcribing this beast of a solo! A notation question, though: How come you don't write the 6-tuplet figures (like bars 158, 227 and more) as actual 6-tuplets, but rather in 16th note triplets without any beaming to show where the beats go? As a sight-reading bass and guitar player, I definitely prefer reading 6-tuplets as I easily get lost with too many 16th note triplets in a bar (especially if they aren't beamed to show the beats). Is it perhaps different for saxophone players? Are they more used to reading non-beat-beamed triplets?
Thanks for the comment. Answer is easy: I just don't know how to transform triplets into sextuplets in my software (starting with SIB and finishing with LIUS), otherwise I would have written sexptuplets; You're right it's easier to read. I also don't know how to write a 14-tuplet for example (mes 147 would have been written differently).
Any hints someone ? that would be useful.
Try not to nut:
7:59-8:06
1:30-1:35
bro how many hours????
It took about one full day.
Would of taken me about a month or more
@@julienm702 Incredible, incredible work with this transcription. The vast majority of us mortals would not have been able to accomplish it at all.
1:38 3:20 3:43
Awesome transcription for an awesome solo! Any chance you could transpose this into piano music? would love to learn to play the solo on a keyboard using a lead!
Would've loved to see notation for the overtone notes he played
Got it in Eb?
man how can i get this in musescore to transcribe for bariton?
7:59 hands hows the sexiest line ive ever heard
Look, forget Beethoven and Mozart and everyone else except Bach, Parker and Stravinsky. Le Sacré is the only other piece, besides this version of Lingus, that is completely perfect. I listen a few dozen times and leave it and come back a few months later and each time there is something new to find.
Are there other Chris Potter tunes that approach this?
Yes I've been returning to this one as well. The only experience I can compare it to involved psilocybin.
What do the plus signs above notes mean? 1:34
False Fingerings
Thanks for this very much. I think though he slurs up to a high G (not F#) in bar 237.
How long did it take to transcribe this wonderful solo?
A few hours and much patience.
🍁🍊🌾🍋
The only thing more impressive than this solo is that someone transposed this
0:45
7:59 Possibly the filthiest line to ever be played on a horn. Stank face 🤯
What's the rhythm at 6:43 from the rhythm section
Now transcript for Alto Saxphone....it would be in A Major if not mistaken
No coments, is a monster!
I would like to touch only 2% of that!
what the hell happened at bar 231???
This becomes 5 times more mind bending when you slow it down
Oh another alex k eh
That's what's so great about Chris' playing, it's so information dense. There's no bullshit or easy licks.
Damn, you use a slow downer?
nope but I do have bionic ears though ;)
Where can I buy these bionic ears?!
ebay?
Cheers mate, found them.
Correction: Meas 157 is not 8va...the 8va doesn't start until meas 159.
I’m switching to alto
How's that switch to alto going? 😂
Minor pentatonic on goat.
Was this entirely unrehearsed/improvised? Does anyone know?
see the source video linked in the description and one of the Snarky Puppy guys discusses how it came about that Chris sat in with them. I do believe it was entirely unrehearsed. Why would Chris need to rehearse?
@@1967dtb I’m not saying he would need to rehearse. Just curious if he knew anything ahead of time, or if it was a last minute decision. I’ll check out that source video. Thanks!
