Coltrane for guitar

pdaigle

Does anybody have arrangements of John Coltrane pieces for guitar (like Giant Steps)? Are there certain Coltrane pieces popular among GJ guitarists?

There's a Power Tab of Giants Steps here:

Most of them are so-so but some of them are OK.

I was listening to Giant steps today, and playing along on a few tunes.
I even found some good gypsy-like chords on Syeeda's song flute (My favourite track on the album)

Here it is if anyone's interested:

G6 | G6 | G#13 | G#13 | G6 | G6 | FM | FM |
G6 | G6 | G#13 | G#13 | G6 | G6 | F#M | F#M |

Gm | Gm | Cm/A | Fm6/G# | Repeat 3 times
Gm | D7 | Gm | D#7 | D7 |

G6 | G6 | G#13 | G#13 | G6 | G6 | FM | FM |
G6 | G6 | G#13 | G#13 | G6 | G6 | F#M | F#M |

E7 | E7 | E7 | E7 | D9 | D9 | D9 | D9 |
E7 | E7 | E7 | E7 | F#7 | | F#7 | | F#7 | | F#7 |


And here's the chords i use:

G6 G#13 FM F#M Gm Cm/A Fm6/G# D7/A D7#/A E7 D9 F#7

3 4 1 2 3 5 4 5 6 7 5 2
5 6 3 4 5 x x x x x 5 4
5 4 3 4 5 5 3 4 5 6 4 4
4 5 2 3 3 5 5 5 6 7 5 3
5 6 1 2 3 4 3 3 4 5 5 5
x x 1 2 3 x x x x x 5 x

F#M: 244322
Gm: 355333

Coltrane for guitar - Giant Steps - has been played by the Maestro Joe Pass ...
