The Boss of all the bosses - Wes at his best.  This is a relatively easy song and learning it will give a lot of goodies. Inspired by this article of Dave Liebman I decided not only transcribe and learn to play it but to make more detailed analysis. I hope you will enjoy it and  pdf with tabs/notation is ready here for you so no excuses :)

Finally we are approaching the end if this great course review,  Here are the quick links
to Part 1 and Part 2

Lesson 5:
Theme and Variations, 
Logic and Construction of Musical Statement.
Song Form Analysis

Lesson 3:
In this lecture, Gary Burton shares with us his excellent method of choosing quickly, "on the fly", the right scale for given harmony of the song.

Please note that terminology in my review is used in the same manner as Gary Burton did  in the course. Various methods and schools can use other synonymous names: (guide tone lines vs. voice leading,  altered vs. super-locrian, etc.)

Despite the course’s name, it reffers only to JAZZ improvisation and some basic knowledge is necessary to make the best use of the material.
