YouTube - Jazz Solo Transcriptions

Somehow I wasn't expecting this to be such a popular feature on YouTube, even though I had seen a number of solo transcriptions over the years, and had worked through this fabulous soprano solo by Bob Sheppard on Pat Metheny's tune First Circle.

Now having searched a little, I've have found a huge selection. Anyone wishing to study famous solos has a large choice. Personally I like the ones that play the original and scroll. Even if you don't end up working them out it's a great little study tool to have a listen and follow. I've linked some of the ones I like:
