here’s a transcription (listen here) of Peter Bernstein’s solo on “Jeannine”, off of Melvin Rhyne’s wonderful CD “Boss Organ”. This solo is interesting, Pete lands on a D natural over the Am7 almost every time he plays over that section. The diminished scale in bar 34 is a classic Pete lick, he does it quite a bit over dominant chords and it was one of the first of his “licks” that I learned. you can start from anywhere in the diminished chord and resolve it all sorts of ways.

I can’t make heads or tails of measures 38-39, it sounds good and I’m pretty sure the notes are correct, but I can’t figure out the logic behind this pitch collection. it doesn’t seem to sit well on guitar, either, maybe I am fingering it wrong or something.

anyways, hope you enjoy!
