Chord Melody 2018-2019 - Falling Grace

I will get video of Audio and play through and talk about some of these.

PDF is attached.

As a fun incentive, you guys have one week (from the date of this post) to post your versions of this chord melody. I will pick a winner, probably with an online random generator.

The winner wins one pair of my new sticks. They will be out within the next week or so.

YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE CHORDS IN. Study this a bit, make sure you know what the alterations or of what I've written here.

Look to see when I have a root or when I don't.
Post any questions.

Chord connecting exercise over the changes of "Bluesette"

This is one of my favorite exercises. It's about playing lines that connect the chord changes so that you can hear them, no matter how fast you play. As with every exercise that you create yourself there should be a basic goal you're aiming for, such as connecting the chords and making the harmonic movement hearable throughout.Then you can add “mini" challenges, such as note value, tempo, phrasing, accents if desired, etc. I chose as my "mini" challenge a constant stream of eighth notes without rests.
