    I thought I would mention that
    I've set myself the task of learning
    some Charlie Parker horn lines on guitar. :)
    I think by Summer they should be fluid if not before.
    Anyways back soon. :)

    Are you doing this by ear or by reading transcriptions?

    There’s the Charlie Parker Omnibook for C instruments that may prove helpful along with any other ways you’re attempting to do this. I have it but have yet to dive into it. Most folks say it’s a great resource. It’s available on Amazon if you’re interested.

    By ear as I don't read notation.
    This is where looping comes in handy. :)

    If you're into learning classic jazz lines have a look at
    Freedom Jazz dance by Eddie Harris, Straight no Chaser by Theolinous Monk and Billies Bounce by Charlie Parker.

    The first two were set pieces for my improv band before the Lockdowns,
    really good for warming up.

    Thanks for the suggestion however nah I'm not interested as I don't read notation. :)

    Understandable. I don’t read great myself. Started learning very late in my journey but it’s been very useful.

    I did start reading music notation when I was at school (decades ago)
    however when I discovered that you can use an Atari for writing music I focused on that instead.

    @Gravitas the most beneficial thing that reading has done for me is help me learn the fretboard and internalize where the notes are at. When you have to play a D# for example you have to search and figure out where the D# notes are at on the fretboard. It’s a little slow going at first but over time it’s been extremely helpful in learning guitar for me. Now i actually prefer charts over Tab.

    In that regards I'm sorted as I've been playing solid for decades though I do agree internlizing the fretboard is a must.
    I do octave jumps either linear or veritcal as part of my warm ups and
    I also practice scales moving a semitone along and then back,
    I also do modal stuff so if I start in C maj, I go up in C major and then come down in D Dorian and up in E phrygian etc
    until I reach C maj past the twelth fret and then I reverse it, really good for practicing sweeps.
    I used to do jazz covers, originals and duos and the amount of times I've had to transpose on the fly is crazy. :)
    I'm not a speed demon, I'm a solid melodic player with occasionaly bursts of speed.
    Right now I've changed my picking technique and I'm going for the closed fist technique.

    Oh thank you!

    @Gravitas I’m not a fast player either haha…I do have bursts of speed like you described but I’m much more focused on phrasing. sounds like you have much more experience under your belt than I do 😊. I’m really more of a beat maker and lofi beat enthusiast, but I’ve always had a guitar…the last 6 or 7 years I’ve decided to take guitar seriously and dive deep into Jazz theory…it’s definitely improved my ear and the music I make. I’m no where near where I’d like to be as a guitar player but I’m definitely enjoying the process.

    Phrasing is more important than speed in my book.
    I like every note I play to have meaning.
    My approach is more Miles Davis than anything else which is that it's better to play one note beautifully.

    sounds like you have much more experience under your belt than I do 😊.

    I totally agree about the Miles sentiments.
