| 1. Moment's Notice 2. Spain 3. Freddie Freeloader 4. Lazy Bird 5. Take the A Train Giant Steps sounds fun, but I'm not on that level yet solo-wise. Any suggestions? | |

| Giant steps is certainly no more difficult to solo on than Moments Notice. | |

| There are a lot of high end players who think Giant Steps is easier to solo on that Moments Notice. I didn't get it for years, but I get it now :) | |

| Having never studied Giant Steps very intently, I can't really say much about it. But Moment's Notice is comprised of 2-5's and 2-5-1's in a bunch of different keys (7 or 8 I think). It reminds me of a monster Tune Up in many ways. And it "looks" a lot easier to follow than Giant Steps' "meshed" 2-5-1's or whatever they are called. Anyways, the question, beyond the generic two (12-bar and rhythm changes): There are a couple forms/patterns that I really like: So What/Impressions (see-saw form) songs with complete/possible "endless" circle of fifths progressions (Autumn Leaves, Take Five, Virtual Insanity, etc.) Blue In Green Poinciana Just Friends Bouncing With Bud Over the Rainbow | |

| Some day I will make Giant Steps my project. But, not anytime soon. | |

| Giant Steps sounds like Mt. Everest to me! lmao Maybe I'll take a closer look and cut through the it's daunting appearance. Blue In Green!....where's my head at I like the general Jelly Roll Morton figures. Also, I'm Old Fashioned. There's a particular chord in that song that really gets to me, and I can't think of it right now, or where in the song it happens. | |
