Move Stuff Around - At Least in fourths

Moving scales, arpeggios, licks, little pieces of a tune is a great exercise for your brain and your musical 'overview' of things. In other words just get used to seeing things in different places. This doesn't matter what level you are at.

If you don't know what to do, then use 4ths. Move a little something every time you practice in a few different keys. A lick, a nursery rhyme, a jingle, a holiday song. Just do it. It will pay off later. Spend about 10 minutes in it.

Stella by Starlight

H1CH on Stella.

Really trying to focus in on playing the changes. How did I do?

Each week I've been learning/re-learning tunes to make sure I really know them. Trying to really understand the chord scales in tunes and extensions I can use in chords.

I really enjoy making these "covers" as well. As frustrating as it can get, this is something I've always wanted to learn how to do. Any tips on recording techniques etc. are really appreciated as well!

Thanks for listening!

Hi vibes friend today I'd like to present my transcription of the head of Falling Grace (Swallow) as played by Gary Burton in this video:

Unfortunately there's no description in the video but I think it was recorded in the '90.
Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!
