Transcription "Ma Belle Helene" John Abercrombie

http://www.youtube.com




This is my transcription of John Abercrombie's solo on Kenny Wheeler's tune Ma Belle Helene from the album The Widow in the Window. A great 1990 recording from the ECM label.
This composition has a lot of slashchords and I was curious how Abercrombie treats those chords.

Abercrombie is a very lyrical player and his lines are kind of floating over the complex harmonies and he makes it sound so easy to play over these chords. So I figured it would be a good idea to study this solo and learn from the master. Hope you learn something too. :D
