The document is a transcription of an improvised solo played over the song "The Shadow of Your Smile". It is difficult to notate the rhythm accurately for the rubato passages. The transcription provides the chord progressions used and notes the solo incorporates arpeggios, diatonic 6th intervals, and scales like the half/whole diminished scale based on F#.

The Shadow Of Your Smile

Improvised solo by Doug McKenzie


This is a transcription of a live played improvisation. It is difficult, especially in rubato passages,
to notate the rhythm accurately. Best to look at the youtube video to see the original video
or on my website http://www.bushgrafts.com
