Critical Listening 12

The intro of this song is accompanied by the guitar bass and piano playing fifths. I wanted to understand what fifths were more so I did some research. I understand it now as closely related pitches and key tones. Musicians such a Wes help us understand something like fifths by showing us these relationships in their music. The chorus of the song is repeated and Wes then shows us his real skills by beginning a Guitar solo. I think Wes loves using Arpeggios in his Solos. My friend Patrick plays Jazz guitar and also loves using Arpeggios in his solos. The tune gets very cool when the Piano begins its solo. The piano solo is then followed by a Bass solo! I think it's so amazing how all three main instruments have their own solo. It really makes you appreciate each player and really shows you just how much talent each musician has. Most the time if a Bass player is just keeping a rhythm I don't realize how much talent one might have. I like Jazz that incorporates all instruments for solos I have decided. The chorus of the song returns and then Wes gives us a little more taste of his genius as a solo musician. In conclusion, this was probably in my top 3 favorite songs I have listened to this semester it helps me to realize just how much I have actually learned!
