Marmaduke - Let's Study Marmaduke By Charlie Parker

This is a cool tune. Let's learn it. You can really learn a lot from studying this tune.

So.... Listen to it.... Learn the head and learn the chords.

I made a few lessons up already. I play the melody (differently:wrong). I learned this tune years ago and it evolved into something else. You will hear it. It's subtle. I learned something from doing this lesson!

See if you can spot it when you hear my play it.

A Thorough Guide to Ending Tunes, Part 2: Last Notes

Hello all!

I’m taking a little break from the “how to play vibes like” lessons and am doing a couple beginner-oriented ones on ending tunes, although I think everyone can probably get something from them. This lesson is really for anyone who has ever been on a gig or at a jam session where at the end you all just kind of fizzled out in an unsatisfying, anticlimactic way, and wants a better alternative for the future. It’s also for anyone who just wants more creative options to end tunes.
