I have used AI processing to isolate Coltrane's saxophone track (plus piano) from the original recording of Giant Steps, which means the clarity is unlike anything you've heard before. For learning solo transcriptions this is a massive help, because it enables you to hear more of the detail in his articulation and phrasing.

Having it on YouTube has two great advantages...

1 - You can slow down the recording to 75%, 50% or 25% of the original speed without affecting the pitch. That is a massive help when working on a piece like this!

2 - It's important to use the YouTube link for things like this because YouTube recognises the original recording by its digital footprint, tracks all of the plays and sends all of the royalties to the correct place. I do not and can not monetise this YouTube video.

To accompany the video I have created four brand new keyless transcriptions (C, Bb, Eb & Bass Clef) which are now for sale on my website for less than the price of a coffee at https://www.busterbirch.co.uk/transcr....

These transcriptions are very clearly scored with 4 measures per line and no weird enharmonics! I've painstakingly gone through each one and changed the spellings of every note and chord symbol to avoid things like Cb, Fb & D# scales & chords. If you know this piece, you will know what I mean and what a difference that makes! The Bb edition has been used for this video.
