Here's another lick for January. It's in 2 parts. The lick is attached to each part as a pdf and I play it. I would advise transcribing the lick yourself first and then checking the music.
I usually don't even put the music up but this lick is a little more involved.
We now have a very thorough stuff of voicings here! There's so much to learn.
Breaking the Octave into 3 parts gets into the world of Giant Steps and Countdown. It also opens up a whole world of comping and improv ideas.
I have had some requests since the last lesson to show how to apply the ideas from lesson 1 to different chord sequences. This part of the lesson deals exclusively with taking a single rhythm (the first from lesson 1) and applying it over various tunes with different voicings. Watching it again, I feel like I played these patterns a lit bit on the fast side for cha cha so slow them down ;)

Here's an in depth study of the tune Stella By Starlight. It's an intermediate/advanced lesson that covers ways to study Stella as well as other tunes.
Here's a lesson plan for Invitation.
A great way to study this tune in pieces. Each lesson in the beginning will focus on one part of the tune. Later we put it all together and focus on the tune as a whole and work on improvising on it.
What's great about Invitation to study is the A section is sort of a modal section and the B section are changes. The same changes in lots of other tunes like, Cherokee, Laura, and others that mention in the lessons.
