Martina is a young Czech singer who I will be producing an album with on Malletmuse Records next year. She´s amazing and when she sings ballads there isn't a dry eye in the house.
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.
This is a quick mini-mini-concert because I only recorded one tune. Had to run after the recording.
