If you are busting ass on rhythm changes but need a little break, here is something to clear the head with. This, however, can be applied to rhythm changes.

Watch the video first, then read further...

I didn't discuss it in the video but check it out....

for the A section, using the same major triad shape (1-3-4-5) here are the triads (all major triads)

Bbmaj- G7- Cm- F7- (repeat)
C triad- Eb triad- Bb triad- Db triad--------

Fm- Bb7- Ebmaj- Ebm- Bbmaj
Eb triad- F# triad- F triad- Bb triad-C triad

School's out in May... so... who's in for the Rhythm Changes?

So I think a bunch of us should go nuts and make a commitment to rhythm changes.

If there was a good commitment we could even plan some things. Maybe get some guys over here and do a vibe hang where we play ONLY rhythm changes or variants of!!!

How about one head many keys every 4 days!

Lots of ideas. Who would practice the crap out of rhythm changes???
