Smiles and Smiles To Go - Larry Carleton

[dashow2000]

The 1986 smooth jazz hit with the killer guitar solo.The total song can't be fit into 12 bars, so what is presented here is the intro, 2 verses, the chorus, and an ending. You can manipulate the playbackm to acommate soloing.

I think there's plenty of room to condense your chart if you wanted to.

Please use the small font only when necessary to fit several chords in a crowded measure.
The normal font is easier to read on smaller (phone) screens.

Thanks for sharing

After just listening to the melody, the 3rd and 4th bars are FM7/G. There are a couple of more that need to be altered. I'll listen to the whole chart and make suggestions. This is a groovy tune.

Instead of merely suggesting corrections, it's best to post your edited chart. That saves everyone a lot of duplicated effort.
We can then easily download your (edited) chart and compare both charts side by side and with the player.
Thanks,

Smiles And Smiles To Go - Larry Carlton revised.
Need help with ending. Chart won't stop at Fermata at the end, it goes back to A. Changed style to Jazz even eighths.

Nice chart Ray. Thanks for posting it.
It downloads with player repeats set at 2x.
When set 1x, the chart seems to play correctly.
What am I missing?

Is there a way to extend letter A for a longer solo?

Is there a way to extend letter A for a longer solo?

What constitutes the repeating solo section?
A to the DS instruction (16 bars) ?

Is the 16 bar A always repeated twice = 1 solo?

Then after last solo, take the DS and coda?

Assuming the solo is just the 16 bars after A, because of the length of the chart and the DS after the solos, just before the coda, I don't think we can use the "trick" where the solo is "A" and use player repeats to adjust the number of solos. That would require copying the 24 bars of the DS and adding them again as the first part of the coda instead of using DS.

The only way I can see to adjust the number of times the A section repeats on this chart is using a text instruction.
(4x, 8x etc) placed anywhere within the repeat bracketed A section. It would usually be under the final bar, but the DS al coda is already there.
Then set the player x1.
