In the past I have studied some solos from Joe Diorio's book "Fusion Guitar." In this book Joe constructs 16 modern and ultra-modern jazz guitar solos over eight classic jazz chord progressions. The book only has standard notation but here's a few tabs of three etudes on the chord progressions of "All the Things You Are", "Stella by Starlight" and "Blue Bossa." In the book they are not mentioned under these titles but bear such titles as "modern swing solo" and "Bossa Nova solo" etc. Unlike the title of the book suggests, there's lots of straight-ahead sounds to be discovered in it too. You will find the tabs under the vids. They are included in the vids as well.

Thanks for making these additions to the information contained in the book. I have always thought this was a great book. Do you know the standards that the other solos/ chord progressions were based on? thanks

ReplyDeleteGreat site you have going here. I do have all of Joe diorio's instructional books, and I don't mind if there's only standard notation, but it is generous of you to take the time to transcribe the tablature and share it. Absolutely love Joe Diorio's playing and musicianship. I'm also looking forward to working with more of the music on your site as well as checking out the interviews etc. Thank you very much for all the work and material you have put into this site that can be shared with others. It's very kind of you.
