🚨 Soloing Through the Changes Pt. 4 – 7th Chord Outlinings with 9ths & Alterations

In Part 4, we take the 7th chord outlines from the previous lesson and extend them into 9ths, while also adding alterations and inversions on dominant chords. The result is a more melodic, colorful, and expressive soloing vocabulary—still grounded in chord structure, but reaching toward the sound of bebop and beyond.

Classes will be as follows: 

at 2:45 we will do either the rhythm section class or the perc. Which ever one we do first we will do the other one right after. 

Oliver Mayman will do the classes on Wednesday, Behn Gillece on Thursday. 

Friday the schedule will change a little bit and in the afternoon Chuck Redd will do a workshop. (He's a great 2 mallet vibe player and a GREAT drummer).

Just found Mattias Ståhl. Anyone know about him? 

I think he sounds great and very interesting! 

This is a video many of us have probably seen, this version is colorized which is cool. 

For me they play one of my most favorite songs 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. Also the third song they play is one of Gary's and I love to see how much the audience loves his playing and the song. I imagine Gary just floored musicians and especially percussionists. No one had played like this in 1966. He was the first. A must watch!

I've said this over and over. I don't know how anyone gets good without goals. Maybe there's a way but I don't think so. 
I think not having goals, is like learning how to shoot a bow an arrow with out a target.
