I've done a lot of figuring out small 1-2 measure licks that I like, not writing them down or anything. I recently decided to start transcribing the entire solo, writing it out and all. I'm starting with Dexter's recording of 'Don't Explain' on A Swingin' Affair. So far I've written out all the notes, figuring the rhythms would be easy afterwards.
Totally wrong. Just trying to figure out the first few measures has me wanting to quit!
So, are there any tips you have on figuring out the rhythms when the player isn't following the beat strictly? Or did I just pick a bad apple?
