Recorded and filmed in June 2021. Check out the album version of the solo & official video here: youtube.com/watch?v=_xzmwNnRT6M

Loam is a much more knowledgeable and able fusion musician than I, so I was tickled that I had a chance to write a solo for the debut single (that would later also appear on the Featherbrained EP). I was NOT TICKLED by the fact that after recording my solo, it came back that I was only supposed to use HALF the amount of time that I thought, because there was going to be a BASS SOLO. yeah loam because that's what the people want. So I went back a couple months later and punched in some more textural comping under the bass solo, which I still enjoyed too. FINE.
ANYWAY here is my original solo. If you want to compare, the transcription pdf includes both the album version piano parts and the extended solo version part.
