“Giant Steps” – Solo Jazz Guitar

Here is a solo version of John Coltrane’s classic jazz standard “Giant Steps”. The melody is stated in the first chorus with a walking bass line accompaniment. The second and third choruses are improvised lines over the changes. For the out chorus, I switch to 3/4 and re harmonize the melody.

Please check out Coltrane’s original recordings of “Giant Steps”. For guitar players. I recommend checking out solo versions recorded by Joe Pass and Jimmy Bruno. Also Pat Metheny recorded a nice trio version.
