Cool! Happy from '72 or '73 and Bye Bye Johnny from '72 (Taylor on lead) would be two other recommendations in addition to Ventilator Blues. Do you have any others you were thinking of? Also, the Dylan era would be great too

The 1969-1974 book is fantastic. A true labor of love. Really nice work Mike!

I'm expecting a YouTube video series which shows you ripping on all these parts soon. smoking smiley

peace

Just in case you got the time and feel like : for the hardcore Taylor fans it would be great if you could transcribe MT's "Spanish"/"A minor" from his '79 solo album "Mick Taylor", as well as his "Masters of war" lead guitar with Bob Dylan. Taylor is bigger than the Stones only: Vol.2

I did transcribe most of "Slow Blues" from his first solo album and I am also working on "Giddy-Up"

As far as Dylan songs, I transcribed the solos from "I and I", The solos from "Highway 61" and the solo to "Sweetheart Like You."

Personally I would love to see a tab book of his entire first solo album. I absolutely love that record. All great tunes. That would make a great book, and I would buy it in a heartbeat.

For anyone who is interested, my new book is done - here is the link:

I know you've been busy with the John Mayall years vol 2 book, but I was just curious if you had done anymore from the '79 solo album?

Do you have some sample TAB?

As you doubtless know, the first failed Mick Taylor transcriptions were by Deep Blue in early 1998, mere months after the computer proved worthy of such a task by finally defeating Garry Kasparov.
That you have somehow managed to publish such scholarship now is frankly, as disturbing as it is celebratory. On one hand is the sincere hope that after forty five years someone has at last achieved what many would describe as perhaps the single most important discovery of the modern scientic age. Could a Grand Unification Theory be next? On the other hand, one wonders if the transcriptions are but another cannard, like cold fusion.
Most of us, the vast majority in fact, are unable to divine the complexity of a Mick Taylor solo; the endles variety of trills, triplets, minor third triplets more trills, more minor third triplets and the occassional Dorian mode in a major key and finally, more trills and minor third triplets.
I myself will take your word it until I see the results of what will undoubtedly be an unprecedented deluge of examination.

And if anyone is interested, I might be doing a Vol. 2 book for Mick's playing with The Stones.

Dorian mode in a major key? So resolving on the second note of a major scale; that wouldn't sound right. What the hell is a "minor 3rd triplet"? A minor third is an interval and a triplet requires three notes. You fail, sir.

I fail, you are exactly right sir! And in proving me a failure you make my point; it is nigh well impossible for anyone but the most agile mind to grasp the the sheer complexity of a Mick Taylor solo. Difficulty compounded is not my forte. Lacking the reach necessary for such grasp I'm afraid I've latched onto the rudiment. I'm merely trying to compensate for woeful ignorance when I invent such terms as 'minor third triplet' for a Taylor-ish phrase that descends down a major second then down once again a minor third before repeating itself on another one of five different notes numerous times; or 'Dorian major' by where the phrase begins on the second note of a major scale then ascends or descends in perfectly placed eighth notes like a metronome, right in the dead center of the beat; resolving not on the major second as you suggest but on the next chord in the progression. That you do not grasp this?...know sir, you are not alone. Mick Taylor is not understood so much as he is felt. Mere mortal's that we are I ask, how can we be expected but to expect that we will fall short? Do as I do and listen to Mick Taylor's otherwordly excursions on 'Midnight Rambler' from Brussels 1973 while simultaneously reading about Schrodinger's Cat. One will seem so simple minded, repetitive and tasteless it does not beggar comparison.

Does the first book have any Stones songs in it ?
