Blues Comping #4: Equinox (Coltrane)


This installment of Blues Comping has us playing through a minor blues form. This tune which features saxophone by John Coltrane, drums by master Elvin Jones and the unmistakable piano of McCoy Tyner.

McCoy uses several interesting voicings to evoke the sense of mystery this tune has. I have adapted what he plays to guitar and taken some liberties to give the same vibe as he does.

First, we have the comping over the head of the tune:


Next, we have some ideas inspired by McCoy's famous quartal voicings.





And last but not least, sit back, relax and listen to the original tune.
