"Yesterdays" by Wes Montgomery & Miles Davis

I put a transcription of Wes Montgomery's interpretation of "Yesterdays" on Ultimate Guitar some time ago. Then I discovered Miles Davis' very different treatment of the same tune on his 1952 Blue Note album (Young Man with a Horn) and I am currently trying to transcribe it. I have attached PDFs of both transcriptions. The Miles transcription is still only a fragment. I'm having some difficulty with it. It appears first below, followed by the Wes version. If you have a better transcription of the Miles version, could you post it as a reply?
I've been a fan of both Wes and Miles all my life. One of the many things I like about both of them is that they could convert an uninspiring original into an interesting and enjoyable piece of music. Sometimes Wes did this by producing a lengthy series of variations on the tune, e.g. "One for my Baby (and One More for the Road)", "Born to be Blue". On many other occasions he produced an improvised solo that was better than the original melody. On Steve Khan's website, Steve gives Wes' treatment of "The Big Hurt" as an example of this and says, "I couldn't understand why Wes would have recorded one of the most awful pop songs from 1959 [...but he...] turned this tune into a work of great beauty."
Unfortunately, Wes' didn't manage this with his treatment of "Yesterdays". It started out positively but quickly got banal. There may be something in common between Wes' and Miles' treatments of the song: Wes couldn't follow what his accompanist was doing and Miles' accompanists couldn't follow what Miles was doing. Certainly the two interpretations are vastly different. Miles still manages to turn the piece into a "rough gem", a brooding, melancholy masterpiece. It seems to me that Miles took most of the chords and some of the scales from the original song and made a completely new piece of music. I would be interested in other opinions on this.

Intervals Ear Trainig Question

dear Jazzers. Great Site btw (: glad i found it

Today I'm practicing Intervals on my Guitar and this my Question:

Does it make more sense to "think" the intervals while improvising relative to the key or should i try to look out for the chord and internalize them to the changes

thanks in advance
