I have added two lines of Blue in F as .pdf files for those interested. It
is an example of a possible solo constructed following guide tones.
the file is:

This and other examples of interest to jazz improvisation and theory can be
found at

I am interested in discussing the Parker solo on "Confirmation" after I
have had a chance to look it over. I will post a .pdf file with some
comments and notations and post a reply with some explaination. I was
planning to use this very same solo as an example of following guide tones,
so it was fortuitous that you choose this solo.
Thanks again for the forum.
