Lesson

I made this for my student Dan Neville. We did out last lesson last month and we wanted to end it with a couple duos.

I did two duos, but I'm not happy with the other one. I'll post this one for now.

Also, I didn't post the second part. I always play both parts to see if I can play along with the track. If I can then I know the time is ok. This is ok. But I won't post the second part hear. This way to you it has no other part to influence you.

This is a difficult one.

Again I left the chords out. Get the real book out and write in the changes so you in some small way begin to think about the harmony. Look at the notes and enter the chords.

Can you see the different keys this goes through? Thanks to Bach and the Well Tempered system of tuning, or I think this tune would sound terrible in Midieval tuning! :-).

Play it slowly and work it up.

Here's a simple chord melody on All The Things You Are. I tried to incorporate many of the things we talked about in the Beginner's Course. Sorry about the pedal sound, didn't have time to mess with it today :)

Here’s the Days of Wine and Roses chord melody.

I’ll give my new solo cd to the first 2 people who do the following.

1. Play my chord melody
2. Take a solo
3. Play my chord melody or your melody for the head out

The deadline is February first 2019

You have to have good time, keep the time. I don’t care how simple the solo is! Just play it well
