Ok, I turned the camera on and decided to talk about practicing when you don't have loads of time. Then I discovered I could talk and play for about 20 minutes, so I drift off a little, but this might be of help to some of you.

Here is a quick lesson I did today on basic II V I Voicings.
Hope this is a start to get some more beginner stuff out there.

PS: sorry I didn't have the time and tools to cut out the beginning and end...
hey everyone,
i just thought this might be helpfull for some of the beginners of you, because to me it opened up the doors for my first improvisations. i had a chat with marie about soloing, that´s why i did this "lesson". i´m no tony and just a student, so please don´t mind me doing this but i thought any tip might be helpful.

This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or variation.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY !!!!
As a gift, here is my current work on Bach Prelude in C Major, from the well tempered clavier.... Still a practice tape, but wanted to share it anyway.
Thanks again and again for building this, for making this happen... You know how much Charly and I have to thank you !! ;)
Happy Birthday!

Here a recent take of Wine & Roses (to get going with posting here)
Through practice of permutation from Bergonzi's Melodic Structures I recently started finding a way to bridge the "gap" between playing the head with chords (I generally start out learning a tune by fitting the chords under the melody first- as written on the pdf) and horizontal lines, in other words: move on from a "stiff" head to being able to improvise over the changes.
The steps I figured out playing more freely & horizontal were:
