Victory!

So, today I had a bit of an accomplishment that I'm very happy about.  As I mentioned in a previous blog, I've been working on transcribing a solo by Bill Stewart from Question and Answer (as recorded live with Pat Metheny.)  This solo was a bit of a mountain for me.  I think I started transcribing it 5 years ago.  I got a bit of the way in, and then gave up.  I started again last year, but again quit before I finished.  So, I've been working on it for the last couple of weeks and today I transcribed the last bunch of it and it's done!  Hooray! 
The next challenge is actually learning it.  But, that (somehow) doesn't seem nearly as daunting to me. 

Drum transcriptions are a funny thing.  For some reason I find transcribing them difficult to do.  Sax solos?  not a problem.

Anyways, I've already starting learning it, and I will continue...
