LOL, Do you want the tab for the melody? It's pretty much one note. Easy to work out.

While tablature does have its value in instrument specific playing, and a a transitonal form of data transmission, at a certain point, mando students need to get off their rear ends and just learn to read standard notation. If you've been using a decent form of mando tab - i.e. one that include note stems/flags (8ths, 16ths, etc.), you already have a handle on reading the rhythmic aspects.

You know, there are hundreds, or thousands of jazz instructional material and fake books. Thousands of classical music manuals. But they are in standard notation, the Western music notational default system.

You know why there are so few specifically "jazz" mandolin books? Because the really jazz-oriented players learn to read standard notation so they can use all that Aebersold, Coker, David Baker, etc. etc. etc. manuals. And they aren't learning some mandolin player's solo, they are studying the major jazz soloists: Miles, Monk, Charlie Christian, Armstrong, Lester Young, Django, Coltrane, Rollins, and a hunderd others.

So there really isn't a "huge market" for books with mando tab for all the "tens of tab restricted jazz mando players" out there. (Or bluegrass mandoliners starting to dabble with "jazz"). When in Rome......... and, when in Birdland, read the fly specks.

Tab is entrenched in BG. (as well as rock guitar transcriptions). But if you want to get into styles beyond that, getting familiar with standard notation is pretty much a necessity. (It ain't that hard!)

Like the "Key of E" topic and not liking :crying: to play in that key, a lot of it seems to me to just boil down to laziness.:crying::mad:

All you need is the second part. Part 1 is just two notes.
I agree with Mandocrucian.. If yer gonna play jazz, learn to read music.

It's in my copy of 5th edition of the Real [fake] book. Taken, as the transcriber wrote .. from
Stan Getz .. 'Getz au Go Go' recording . in B flat.
