Lester Young Solo – Fine and Mellow – Transcription

This is the perfect blues chorus. Well, for Fine and Mellow, that is. It’s perfect. And it can’t really be notated, you have to listen, or you won’t play it correctly.  As is often the case, it’s not so much what you say, but how you say it. He’s got some choice verbage, too, though.
Check it.

Written for Gtr, transpose accordingly.
