Hi guys.

I'm playing this with my trio at the moment and am wondering how some of you would approach soloing over the A section in this tune?
We're playing it in F minor.

C#dim ideas over C7 resolving to Fm

Alternately see it as Abmajor with an E natural rather than Eb over the C7

You can really play any kind of altered C7 as long as you resolve it to Fmin. So you can do C# dim, you can do C# Melodic Minor, or C# wholetone, and then land on an Ab or an Eb when you get back to the Fmin and you should be swingin nice!

I've been doing a country style version in the key of Ami. I do the bridge Chet style with A7=D7=G7=C7=B7...E7...Ami..It's not perfectly correct but it works good for me..And it's easier for "not so skilled" bass players to follow..Drummers love it..It's a break from the old wipe out thingy..

Just do Scotty's version....shouldn't take you more than an hour or so to get it under your fingers.

Check the Ventures' version on their first cd for a good starting point--Walk Don't Run.

Yeah - I watched that last night while I was surfing for ideas. Unreal!
