Joe talks about an intro to play over tunes.
I decided to do a series of analysis of tunes.
I decided to call this series 'Pimp My Tune', and I think you could definitely call this 'Ghetto Analysis'. I did go to college, but I was interested in playing and learning off the street. What was great about that was I got a lot of interesting perspectives on tunes and harmony, from some great musicians. It was amazing that in school everything was made to seem difficult and on the street everything was made to seem easy. At least that's how I perceived it all.
Here's Joe's performance of 'She's Always a Woman to Me'. Subscribe and check him out talking about the piece!
Here are some pdf files I find usefull when I'm trying to organize my practice time. The problem with practicing when you don't have all the time in the world, like most of us, is that you often don't know what to practice and also keeping track of what you've done and what you haven't done is sometimes difficult.
The pdf files I included here are lists that I use to keep track of technical exercises that need to be repeated to show some progress. Below is how I use these:

Hi Everyone!
I'm kind of new to this post thing but I'll give it a try ;)
I thought it would be interesting to share with you what I've been going through these past weeks. I recently injured my right hand and I haven't been able to play with that hand for 3 weeks now.
I was talking to Tony the other day and I told him that in a way I was glad this happened because I have been able to do things that I wasn't really paying too much attention before.
Here are some of the things I've been working on:
Just from my practice sessions. I was just messing around with the changes from 'I Loves You Porgy'.
Here's some of the stuff I've been practicing. I don't have this quite down and might never! It's an almost impossible etude for me to practice!
