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.

Oliver recently did a lesson on playing Misty solo for beginners. It's great lesson!

Meanwhile, I bought the application Staffpad for the Ipad. Where you can write your music using a Apple Pencil. That's what I like about the Ipad, it's that I can write notes and things. I miss that. 

However learning Staffpad is a pain in the is. So I've been writing out tunes that I know like Donna Lee, and here is a solo vibe version of Misty. 

Any notation problems, let me know. I didn't get to pedaling or dampening, but most of you can figure that out.
