The structure of the tune is:
Head1
Ending1Head1
Head1
Ending2Head1
Head2
Ending1Head2
ThatBeautifulTheme1
Linkage
Head2
Ending1Head2
SoloSection (last time exit at the Ab#11...)
ThatBeautifulTheme2 (...and take this to finish solo)
Linkage
Head2
Ending1Head2
Head1
Ending2Head1
In terms of notation I've written the chordal phrases in TAB;
the top line being the high E string in a standard tuning scheme.
The solo section is given in terms of harmonies. I'd like to
share ideas with others about voicings in the solo section.
snippets, comments, etc.
