timwat Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Okay, everyone please keep it from getting juvenile LOL Been working up the head to Chick's famous Got A Match? Got questions on the head, specifically how to finger measures 9 through 12. It's in the real books, but for reference here's an online PDF I found (which appears to transcribe the opening synth intro on the studio recording, I'm talking about the head which begins at the Signo: https://www.templateroller.com/template/84468/chick-corea-got-a-match-jazz-sheet-music.html Thanks so much for any advice on this.

Josh Paxton Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I ran into this same problem at the same spot when I was learning it. I actually looked up live videos of Chick to try to see how he fingered it. I was then pissed when I realized he only ever played it on that miki-key keytar, which makes that line much easier. But I ended up using the same fingering he does, which is the same as zephonic posted above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrythek Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 For the 3rd line I do one small difference: 1 2 3 1 3 5 4 3 2 1 2 1 5 4 3 I find using 3 instead of 2 for the D makes it easier to not have to move the hand as far for that position change.

I had that SAME realization earlier this week - I remember demoing the KX5 keytar when it came out, and still have the same-era CS01 mini synth. It's gotta be so much easier to work this up on those smaller keys. Quote .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV Yes, i've been experimenting with a few different permutations to see what will be easiest to execute at tempo. This is one of the small changes I fell upon as well. 1 Quote ..
