John Coltrane's Famous Solo on "Giant Steps"

Music dorks might be the only ones to appreciate this, but I found it quite cool. Giant Steps is one of the jazz pieces that John Coltrane is best known for. It is very challenging to play and if you can hang on this tune you have passed a threshold that many jazz guys never exceed. Here is his solo in video form with all the notes on paper. If nothing else, it's an interesting watch.
