Hi Guys this month i'm going to do a lesson about bebop licks. I took four Charlie Parker licks and I transposed them in different key in order to get familiar with them. The purpose is that they become part of our vocabulary. Is…
It's great to play fast but playing slow is an equally monumental challenge. Phrasing, time, space,....some of the problems to deal with. I did one take and thought I could maybe do better with a second one but I wanted to share the…
