[Dixielandjazz] Transcribing

[Mike]

That's true. You can't transcribe the feeling. That's why you play the 
solo along with the record. Transcribing for one thing is good ear 
training practice. Secondly, I've found that if I have trouble coming up 
with ideas of things to do on difficult chords, I see what the past and 
present masters have done over these chords. Transcribing can also give 
you clues to how some people voice chords.
