8MAD - Developing A Turnaround Line - Day 4
behng
Content type: Blog entry
Day 4: You will notice the first measure has been changed slightly. Rather than have it go up the Gm dorian as it has been, this measure has a melodic minor type sound to it. Even though it's a Gm7 chord, the F# is really just a passing…

Content type: Blog entry
In Day 2, you will start to notice the use of a few chromatic notes and approach tones. The line is similar and still pretty diatonic. Take notice of the surround tones in M4. You will see lines like this all the time in bebop where there'…

8MAD - Rhythmic Comping - Day 5

Content type: Blog entry
Day 5; In this final lesson, we're sticking with closed voicings. The top note changes with each chord. I particularly like the 2nd F7 voicing which is A,D,Eb,F from bottom up. It's very crunchy and fun to groove on.

In day 4, we're reverting back to the original rhythm. The difference here is closed voicings. Notice the nice crunch in the closed voicings. As with the other lessons, keep the articulation nice and short on the eighth note.
