The Chicken – Guitar Transcription

The Chicken

“The Chicken” is a high-energy jazz-fusion piece originally composed by saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis.

However, it gained legendary status when it was brought to life by bassist Jaco Pastorius on his 1977 live album “Invitation”.

Known for its infectious groove, tight horn section, and Jaco’s iconic bassline, “The Chicken” has become a favorite among jazz-fusion enthusiasts and musicians alike.

Its blend of funk, soul, and improvisational flair captures the essence of fusion music, making it a timeless standard in jam sessions and live performances.
