Have been working on this tune for a few weeks and its a transcription of the sax and trumpet solos, managed to nail most of it except two bars of Charlie's solo where its a lot of notes at a very fast speed so forgive my attempt even though I put a lot of hours into this section in particular. I am playing drums as well just added a bass line. Anyway hope you like it and as always comments welcome.

Hey everyone,

Here's a blues block chord etude using all the diminished concepts I talked about in parts 1-3. See if you can figure out what's going on! I tried to use mostly shapes I talked about in the lessons.

Hey everyone!

I’ve got some exciting lessons for the next few months, starting with this series on diminished voicings. These three lessons will really go in depth with how you can creatively voice diminished chords, and how you can use the same shapes on non-diminished chords. Do you know the diminished major substitution? The dominant diminished substitution? The four main alterations of a diminished chord? How to use diminished shapes to play “out?” These lessons will go through all of this with a practical mindset, giving you tangible things to work on.

Ok, teach others here.

What are the chords? What are the extensions.

Don't look at the comments if you want to figure it out for yourself.

Teachers don't have to and shouldn't show students everything.

Listen to the what you play. Does it sound like a familiar progression?

The first chord should be obvious even though it's not in root position.

(Clue it's not a major 6 chord).
The key should give you a clue as to what's happening.

Write in the chords and extensions for the pdf.
Learn them, play them closed and open them.
Play my solo, your solo comp the chords.
