Hey everyone,

In this dampening lesson, I explain a technique I call "partial-deadstroking" and its implications for playing ballads, as well as comping on swing tunes!

Hey everyone,

Here's part 2 of my augmented scale lesson. Let me know if there are any questions!

Hey everyone,

Here's a little lesson on the augmented scale. Let me know if there are any questions! Part 2 coming soon.

Hello all,

Here's another dampening lesson! This is a cool one, and one that has become an integral part of my playing recently.

Hey everyone,

I think this is pretty cool. "Pitch bending" is something I've been messing around with on the vibes, especially in a blues context, but also in ballads and really any setting you want. Let me know what you think!

Ok, I was going to put the chords in, but I always get mad at myself when I do that. I'm making it easier for you guys and that's not how you get good!

So you put the chords in, put the extensions in and analyze the music and play it.

Can you talk about it? That means you have the harmony memorized.

Look for the hidden triads. I.E. -> a C triad over a Db and the chord is Eb13b9. Do you understand what just happened here? Can you explain it for others?

Do the work and pass it on.

We played two concerts in August and the second was a live stream at the Greve Studio in Berlin.
I wanted to announce it beforehand, but I didn't make it.
But now ... I hope you enjoy it!
