Lesson

Here are 2 files. One I've completed and one is for you to complete.

Write in the chords, then put notes in on the 8th note rests to make a solo (my version has it done for you to check out). Make it sound as good as you can.

If you have questions, put them below.

I have Sibelius files, midi files, xml files and pdfs and an audio file of my final version.

Let's figure out the first class for I'll Remember April.

How about the 15th. 7pm EST, I could also do 8pm as well.

Hey everyone,

Here's a blues block chord etude using all the diminished concepts I talked about in parts 1-3. See if you can figure out what's going on! I tried to use mostly shapes I talked about in the lessons.

Hey everyone!

I’ve got some exciting lessons for the next few months, starting with this series on diminished voicings. These three lessons will really go in depth with how you can creatively voice diminished chords, and how you can use the same shapes on non-diminished chords. Do you know the diminished major substitution? The dominant diminished substitution? The four main alterations of a diminished chord? How to use diminished shapes to play “out?” These lessons will go through all of this with a practical mindset, giving you tangible things to work on.

Ok, teach others here.

What are the chords? What are the extensions.

Don't look at the comments if you want to figure it out for yourself.

Teachers don't have to and shouldn't show students everything.

Listen to the what you play. Does it sound like a familiar progression?

The first chord should be obvious even though it's not in root position.

(Clue it's not a major 6 chord).
The key should give you a clue as to what's happening.

Write in the chords and extensions for the pdf.
Learn them, play them closed and open them.
Play my solo, your solo comp the chords.
