~Lesson 81: Well You Needn’t

Here’s a one chorus solo I played over the chord changes to “Well You Needn’t” by Thelonious Monk for the “Jam Of The Week” facebook group, which I thought might make a nice etude.

A video of the orginal solo and a PDF of the transcription are below. I also included a PDF with the chord changes I like to use for Well You Needn’t t which closely follow Monk’s orginal version.  You may notice the use of a Cycle Wheel melody (lesson 75) in Bar 8 of the solo, and triad pairs a tri-tone apart (lesson 59) in Bar 24 of the solo.

~ Enjoy!
