Lesson

If you know the changes to Miss Jones and know the melody, here's a simple melodic solo to transcribe.

If you transcribe it, post it here.

You can hear the tune in the solo, right? You hear the harmony right? And I'm playing so little to make this work. Can you do a version of this?

So here's the deal:

I'm always trying to find ways for people to learn stuff. Handing someone all the information works, however, I think giving some and making someone look and search is the best way to learn.

With this pdf, I have my voicings I play with the melody. I left the melody out. Your job is to figure the phrasing of the melody with these chords. Some of the chords have the melody note in the chord, a couple don't.

I believe if you know the melody well and you study these simple voicings you will get something out of this.

I've been up in the mountains this week. Brought my gear up. Lots of time to think and practice. Here is a stream of consciousness about the tune Peace.

Do you guys get stuff out of posts like these? This is pretty advanced stuff I think and you do have to know the tune well to follow me. But this is how me and my buddies teach each other stuff, we play stuff and talk about it. I do this on this tune, he does this over here, copped this off a record of Chick playing this over this tune, and on.

I'm up in the mountains of Pennsylvania this week and I brought a bunch of gear. I put some thoughts down on practicing 2 5 1 licks and wrote the licks out.

This is a good one!
