I did this for my student Dan. We wanted to play very inside over the Tune Quasimodo which is a contrafact for Embraceable You.
Everybody should download this and put your choruses on and post it.
and here is episode 02 of my little show.
gimme some feedback pleeeaaase. :)
tony, as you know, I'm a huge fan of your swing feel!! how did you work on that. listening and playing I guess hm?
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.
