Lesson

Friedman 13

This is to accompany the etude I posted. But I'll also include the etude here as well. 

Like Someone In Love is a great tune to study. Harmonically it does so many things.

For example the first two bars is a 1 to a 6, however, it sticks a dom 3 before the 6 and it sounds cool. I'll do a video on this and talk about cll the cool things. 

I played it on the MalletKat so listen to the audio for pedaling. It's pretty straight forward with pedaling. 

I usually put a bass in, but I left it out here. Notice that once you play the head you can still here the changes even if you're just playing a line and even if you don't outline the complete chord.

Here is an etude I did for a student based on Maiden Voyage. I always laugh when I call something like this an etude, but I guess it sort of is. 

I just get on the Malletkat with some ideas I want to pass along to the student and I just play. Then I quantize for notation purposes and then I dump it into Musescore or Sibelius do a final clean up and print a pdf!

My student was playing this tune and was playing minor thirds over the suspended chord. A suspended 7th chord goes with a mixolydian scale.
