Great job Frank! This is certainly one of the hardest tunes I have tried tackling! I had to do my version as a wimpy slow bossa! You really did a fine job, especially considering the faster tempo.
I hear you on that one! SOmeone dared me several years ago to record it. I practiced it for a couple of hours to memorize the changes and I reocrded this version http://www.scottlernermusic.com/music/GiantSteps.mp3
Other than the sloppy time in the beginning, it did not come out too badly. It was a Guitar War entry. Where I met Jazzpick btw!
Great to hear rockin' giant steps. Great playing over
changes. it's tough tune.
I just noticed your picking sound... I can't help myself
to tell you... If you could pick a bit soft with more dynamics,
less picking noise... you would have more control over
your playing. Try record with/without overdrive,
without delay and reverb. This way you can hear tiny
detail of your tone, picking tone.
I was wondering on the chord changes for "Giant Steps" do you just read the letters on the real book transcription as chords, ike the b chord and then D7, because I dont think the D7 chord sounds right like the song.
