Mats Ödahl: Charlie Parker Solo Bass Play-Along

Bassist Mats Ödahl sent us this remarkable video he made of himself playing along to a Charlie Parker solo.

Mats has some lofty goals, which he seems to be living up to.

This year I [will] try to learn and upload a solo to my Youtube channel every (or every other) week,” he shared with us. “That is to keep myself motivated to transcribe stuff and to maybe inspire others in some way.”

He also said he “would be happy to get some feedback.” Let him know what you think in the comments!
