This is my transcription of the stunning solo by Michael Brecker on Say It (over and over again).

I first analyse the whole solo, going into some great details of his playing: The use of articulation;

The use of grace notes and nuances;

The use of dynamics;

The use of the Lydian Dominant and Diminished scales.

Complete transcription in pdf in Bb, Eb and C are available on my website: https://mirkoguerrini.com/transcripti...

A small donation (if you can) would be much appreciated.
