Well after a couple of days of work I am uploading my transcription of Adam Roger's chord melody and solo on "Evidence". This version of Thelonious Monk's standard comes from John Patitucci's album "Line by Line". This album is kind of all over the place, presenting funk, swing, a bit of classical and contemporary music. This song is a fusion between jazz and funk I would say, with Patitucci on electric bass, Adam on his telecaster (I'm taking a wild guess) and Brian Blade just being the great drummer he always is. I love this solo because it rocks hard and shows Adam's electric side but at the same time it swings great with incredible bebop lines being thrown at us. Adam tends to respect the changes but a lot of times he will follow an idea over the changes creating more tension until he resolves wherever he lands. I also like how he can switch his rock side on and off during the solo, he is very dynamic and easily one of the best guitarist out there. Enjoy!
