Vince Guaraldi (Lesson Plan)

tonymiceli 12 September 2008

(This is a piece I wrote and have named it after the great composer Vince Guaraldi. The lead sheet is here, as well as an etude where you can work on different aspects of solo playing.)

This will be a multi part lesson. The actually lessons are listed right above here.

Part 1 is the arrangement with no chord symbols. You try and figure them out.
Part 2 I'll add the chord symbols.
Part 3 I'll play the piece and solo on it for you to hear.
Part 4 I'll write out a single line solo for you play and study

What instruments does this pertain to?

Vince Guaraldi (Etude) Pt. 1

tonymiceli 12 September 2008

(This is a piece I wrote and have named it after the great composer Vince Guaraldi. This is the etude where you can work on different aspects of solo playing. Also on the site is the lead sheet to the tune. Check out the link to the lesson plan above.)

Here's part one of this lesson. Here's the etude without the chords attached. Go through the piece and look at the music and figure out what the chords are.

Part 2 will have chords
I'll do a video and play the piece
Part 3 will be a single line solo over the chords

The Bossa Nova

One way to learn to comp on Bossa's is to listen to others do it. As a matter of fact that's the best way!

Check out the Getz/Gilberto cd I mention above, that's a classic. I talk in that article on ways to use the cd to help you learn to comp. Most of the tunes on the CD are in the real book.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. If you get these cds let me know what you find out and learn from them. Post your comments below!
