Transcription of Joe Pass' chord melody on Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady", off of the album "Portraits of Duke Ellington". This was at 2 a.m. in a practice room, 8 hours before my senior recital in November '09.

One of my favorite albums, and first big jazz guitar influences, around the same time as Benson "body talk" and Martino "consciousness" ! Nice job, you put the work in!

Hi Blake I use to listen to that album when it first came out Joe was truly one of the best chord melody guitarists when it came to Jazz. You did a great job must have taken some time to transcribe it you must have a set of ears on you!!!

Very nice man. Is this written out somewhere or did you transcribe it yourself? I'm trying to find Joe's recording of this chord melody.
