    Ep. 27.1 - Bebop articulation at its best - Phil Woods solo on Walkin' (analysis)

His articulation and dynamic control are so detailed and under control all the time. Every single line of the solo is a great starting point to understand and learn how to play bebop. The transcription PDF is available on my website in Bb, Eb, and Concert. https://store.mirkoguerrini.com/ 00:00 Intro 00:12 Welcome 05:40 Phil Woods' solo analysis 11:40 Bebop lines and harmonic analysis
