It's not a perfect take, but here is my modest guitar transcription for the first solo of the classic "If I Were A Bell," the first song on Relaxin' (1958) by the Miles Davis Quintet. The tune was originally composed by Frank Loesser around 1950, but made famous, of course, by this performance featuring Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. 


Thanks to Eagleheart Jazz Channel for the backing track. I take no credit for this great practice recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Awi15Ww8k.
