Pat Metheny's solo on "Nothing Personal"

This week's solo comes from the great Pat Metheny, one of the most influetial guitarist of all time. It comes from Michael Brecker's debut album Michael Brecker. This is an incredible album with a power house quintet with keyboard player Kenny Kirklank and Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette on bass and drums. Produced by Don Grolnick himself, this album is a most for any jazz player. Metheny's solo is great, short but fill with good ideas. He alternates between the Dorian scale, blues scale and chromatic lines. He also goes back and forward between rapid lines and syncopated rhythmic ideas. I will post more Metheny solos in the future!
