A cool way of tapping through the changes on John Coltrane's 'Countdown'...

distressed_romeo · 03-18-2007, 11:21 PM

Just came up with this, mainly inspired by Jennifer Batten's rendition of 'Giant Steps', and a Jeff Watson live solo I saw on Youtube this evening...

If you're familiar with Greg Howe's way of tapping pentatonic scales in groups of three, then this shouldn't be a problem. The main difficulty is constantly having to reorder your mental fretboard map as the key changes (this is really hard when you have two hands on the neck).

Hope this is useful...enjoy!

Very cool idea! You should consider recording this over the backing track.
