  • Put the chords in Ireal
  • Transcribe my solo
  • Make sure you can play and comp rootless voicings through out this for 4 choruses.
  • Play my solo
  • put my solo into Bb
  • play my solo followed by your solo. Try and make it similer in nature
  • do it in Bb and other keys.

If you click right below here on Bags Groove it should ask you to open up Ireal pro and should import this.
