Here they are!!! 

Most of these solos can be found on recordings that are still available (check iTunes or do a web search) but I do know that a few of the recordings are either hard to find or out of print. Also, I've started to transcribe some solos off of various YouTube videos. When that is the case, next to the transcription link there will be a link for the video. On a few occasions the solo was taken from a bootleg recording, links to the audio can be found next to the transcription link also.

If you have older versions of some of these solos check the "updated" date to see if a newer version has been posted since your last download. I've read through all of my old transcriptions and made my own corrections. Sometimes only 1 note needed to be changed other solos needed a little more work. I'm sure many who have downloaded these transcription have made their own corrections but if you haven't you can find a better copy here. New solos will have "NEW" next to them.

This website has grown in popularity way beyond what I had imagined, and for that "I thank all of you." Please keep in mind that this isn't a transcription service. These are all solos that I have transcribed for my own benefit. I get requests all the time to transcribe a particular solo but I'm sorry, that's not really where my interest lay right now.

Thanks again...
