Sebastien Giniaux on the Cherokee video

ramsezaz

On the zaiti ensemble website there is this video : [url=http://www.ensemblezaiti.com/data/cherokee.wmv]http://www.ensemblezaiti.com/data/cherokee.wmv[/url]

And here is a riff Sebsatien plays in his improvisation before starting the tune..
I don't know what chord this can be played over, but this lick is great. :
[code]
--------------------------------------------
-3-4-5-6-5-4-3------------------------------
---------------5-4-[3]---2-3-5----------------
-----------------------------[4]--------------
----------------------------------5---------
------------------------------------[4]----3--[/code]

All notes are eighth except notes between brackets which are quarters.

well... while we're talking about Seb... here's one he did at the Taverne de Cluny when i filmed him in Paris hehehehe

all triplets (fast) , i modified some of the notes toward the end to make it more triplet friendly

used over C7

[code]
e-6-5---------------------------------------
b------8-7-6-5-8-7-6-5-----------------------------
g-------------------------6-5----------------
d------------------------------8-5-----------
a-----------------------------------7-------
e-------------------------------------9-8-7-6--
[/code]


he seems to use this fairly often or at least a variation of it....

man ever since i got back i've been transcribing these guys, lots of awesome ideas!
