Write the chords in.

Play the etude.

Can you improvise your own version of this?

Do you know the scales?

Quarter notes are great for practicing improv, because you have to play each beat but you also have a lot of time to think.

Can you put chords in? Do you have the chords memorized?

This is a quick and dirty etude. If there are any glaring mistakes let me know.

OK, as you guys know I have a very busy schedule. I'm sure many of you also have crazy schedules.

I banged this out for my student Alex.

It's a chord study. Write in the chord names, memorize the etude and change rhythms, whatever you want. Just study the voicings.

A slightly Barry Harris-inspired block chord melody of "There Will Never Be Another You."

Hi Vibes lovers, today the lesson is for advanced players who wants to extend they harmonic palette using triads that touch extensions of the chord (7, 9, 11, 13) on their solo.
Make sure to check the attached file where there'a table that shows what triads can be played over any type of chord.

As usual remember to check out my youtube channel and follow me on facebook and instagram.

This is a homage to one of my all time favorite songs,"The Witchita Lineman", by Glen Campbell. I love the unexpected harmonic movement and the general mood of the composition.
I first just worked on playing the melody with a decent accompaniment. It took me forever! It's SO difficult to play correctly and maintain the mood and flow. Then after recording the melody a couple of times I decided to play a simple improvisation over the "vibe" of the song. Hope you like it.
