This is an etude I wrote using "Out of Nowhere" as a vehicle. I've learned much from Behn's etudes over the years, and so the construction of this one shows his influence.

Rivets loosen and get noisy. The omega uses stainless steel nuts and bolts. It's so much quieter.
This is a musser. I like playing mussers and am glad to play them when I travel, but they make noise.
Team Omega said to Malletech, that that can't happen to the Omega. So there are no rivets on malletech instruments.
Before you buy a new instrument ask if they use rivets.

Learn the lick!
In fact I'll give a free 45 minutes lesson to the first beginning student that plays this through all the keys in time.

Hey all,
The lesson offer is still on but with a small change; complete any two etudes from the blues or rhythm changes etudes I've posted and I will do a free 30 minute lesson. So if you want to do one of the blues etudes and one of the rhythm changes, you can get the lesson. Must be a decent version of each though :)
Hope to see some posts!
Getting your time together can be an enormous amount of work. Well, at least for me it is and I'm still working on it.
With this etude, you have to play it with your right foot OFF the pedal and tapping on 2 and 4. Not your left foot but your right foot.
I don't write the chords in because I want you guys to print this stuff out and really study it. I feel like I'm handing it to you if I write the chords in. I believe you need to do the active work and try very hard to see how all this is connect.
Check out this vw video. I think it's one of David's students. He would have all his students write etudes. Good idea.

Who wants to try writing an etude?
This is a few choruses of a blues.
The thing about etudes is that they are challenging in some way and you have to turn them into music and play them well.
I think if you are new at improvising then to play someone's solo is a good thing, you work on playing it well and executing the phrasing etc. If you can make it sound good then you are also doing ear training. Learning what good solos sound like.
Here are a few choruses of a blues. In the beginning practice sight reading. Then work on the phrasing and make the solo sound good.
