Aloha everyone ... today i am presenting a cool Art Tatum lick that i have been starting to use over ain't Misbehavin and other standards for tin pan alley ... The lick is definately inspired by Ed Saindon's record. on the sunnyside .. which really nails this style of playing in the vibes ..

Ed, i hope ive come close to presenting this in a solid manner.

enjoy

This is an improv concept that will be featured in Volume Two of The Complete Guide To Improvisation which will be coming out soon. I was working on this concept with a private guitar student this week at Berklee. Here is the concept applied over Autumn leaves. The concept involves superimposing a Maj 7th #5 structure over any chord and outlining the Maj 7 #5 chord in the improv. We can also use the related Symmetrical Augmented scale as well as use passing and approach notes to notes in the Maj 7 #5 structure.
