It's been a while since I've had time to post anything, since the 7 weeks of bebop really. I think it's a cool idea to do a similar thing with ballads.
In anticipation, here's a take on one of my favourite ballads. This is sorta where I'm at with solo playing on a ballad these days.

Hi Folks,
Realize it's nothing new, but I wanted to do another lesson revisiting ideas for playing turnarounds. If you are really strong at this it'll help you in so many contexts.

Here's a quick and dirty performance of Blues for Alice.
Some of you guys know that I really believe that putting your stuff out there is a great way to get better! That means playing in public, giving college concerts, playing in jam sessions and also posting on the internet. This is a fairly new way of putting your stuff out there.
The thing is you will try harder if you're putting your stuff out there and that's why you get better.
I just decided to give myself 1 hour to come up with a decent version of this tune and post it.
1:21 I say top 2 voices, I mean top three
2: 15 I say Bbmaj 9. I mean Bb-9(man 7)
I say confirmation. I mean Blues for Alice.
I say Ab-7 where I mean Bb-7
