Honest, I'm Trying
Got Jamey Aebersold's Maiden Voyage a couple of years ago .... and completely failed to keep track with Autumn Leaves. Decided that I was out of my depth, and try again at a later date - which was yesterday! Well, now I can keep track of the backing track and play along with the melody and the bridge - which takes me to bar 32 of the backing track.
Now, here's my problem ..... there are 136 bars in the backing track, so what am I supposed to do for the remaining 104 bars???!! I fully understand that I am supposed to (learn how to) improvise a solo somewhere, but there doesn't appear to be any direction as to what to do .... or when! Surely, not a rambling 104 bar solo, that would be very painful?
I see a few "Coda" signs, but no "DS (or DC) al segna, so I'm pretty well lost ..... or still way out of my depth.
Any helpful suggestions?
