Lesson

I wanted to mention this beautiful series by Kjell Samkopf.

Kjell sent me the books and the CDs. No strings attached. Which is great because I can rarely listen to CDs sent to me. For once I was actually bored and put on one of his CDs and really loved what I was listening to! Not tunes, not jazz but really great music. I was really impressed and thought I should pass this along to you guys. So check it out!

Here's a mega etude. Your job is to enter the chords and study each bar by writing all the alterations in. Is it aN F7b9? F713, F713#9. Look carefully at each bar and study the tune. Then play it. Memorize if you dare.

Here's a variation on the first chord etude. Notice the different voicings used here to give the harmony some different motion.
