In my latest YouTube video lesson I covered Ed Bickert’s solo on with Benny Carter on the blues ‘Things ain’t what they used to be’. There’s a lot to like about this solo and for it is a fantastic lesson in phrasing.

I have to admit to not being overly familiar with Ed’s playing and having transcribed this solo I am going to check out a lot more of his playing. I love the fact he uses a Telecaster also!
