As Long As I'm Singin' Song Transcription

Ahoy, Mateys! This be another song transcription.

This time, it's As Long As I'm Singin' (Dirty Boogie album version). As I did before for Buzz Buzz and My Baby Only Cares for Me, I'll post the link to the .pdf file below. Be forewarned, the song goes by quickly but the transcription does not. With a total of 24 pages for vocals, acoustic, and electric guitars, it took awhile. I'll also include the link to a previous discussion of this song from months earlier in the forum.

Performance Notes

The song is an AABA jazz standard with modifications in the key of Bb. Rhythms are mainly Freddie Green style 3-note jazz chords. Solos are fast and challenging, and feature some classic runs. In particular, the main solo includes everything from single notes to octaves to block chords, sort of the same repertoire that Wes Montgomery used.

Ok, that's all the analysis for now. Again feel free to post any questions, comments, corrections, etc.
