Here's an attempt at Tony's H1CH thing. I'm not sure if it's a technically a chord melody because I break up the melody and chords most of the time.
Simply working on some basics with some Friedman Etudes. Feedback welcomed!
H1CH - Head 1 Chorus Head
Ahh - I posted this one. It's funny.
first I'm talking to my self in the beginning! I'm mad because I don't think I'm concentrating hard enough. Next the dryer is on. I practice once or twice a week with the dryer on.
So I thought I'd give you an audio glimpse into my world. In a different life I have a lot of money and I have built a music room which is sound proofed with no dryers.
Who can figure out what H1CH mean?
I did a few of these. My chord melodies are sometimes 'thin'. I don't like adding a lot of stuff and I like playing in time mostly.
Here's It Could Happen To You
Here's a chord melody followed by a challenging quarter note solo with chords. The first part is for everyone, the second part is for advanced students. It's a real work out on chords and voice leading.
@Tristan - Can you play it?
Sorry, but I had to do it.
I've talked about this many times, however since we're talking about chord melodies I thought another Dad speech was appropriate.
I made this for my student Dan Neville. We did out last lesson last month and we wanted to end it with a couple duos.
I did two duos, but I'm not happy with the other one. I'll post this one for now.
Also, I didn't post the second part. I always play both parts to see if I can play along with the track. If I can then I know the time is ok. This is ok. But I won't post the second part hear. This way to you it has no other part to influence you.
