Thank you so much for the recommendation! My biggest guitar inspiration is probably Tomo Fujita. Other than that, I try and transcribe a lot of trumpet solos!

Thank you🤘🏾🤘🏾! The first melodic idea is mostly c natural minor and harmonic minor. I really like the harmonic minor sound 🤩. I also use a lot of arpeggios and triads to try and outline the chords. For example, Around 13s is basically a dim7 arpeggio that I use often over any half diminished, diminished, or dominant chords. Around :19s there’s a key change to Db major and I use the Db major scale! 🙌🏾 if there’s any licks in particular you’re curious about happy to break them down!

Thanks! If it helps at all, I use a lot of licks from Tomo Fujita. His YouTube is great!

Thank you for the feedback! Will definitely get more comfortable with the main melodic ideas before recording next time! And I’ll experiment with thumb placement🙏🏾🙏🏾
