Notes

The original 1959 studio recording of 'So What' by Miles Davis (from 'Kind of Blue') features no guitar; the riff is played on piano and bass. No distorted or heavy guitar tone is present in the original studio version. Later live versions (1970s) with electric guitar (Pete Cosey, John McLaughlin) are not relevant to the 1959 studio riff section.
