Joe locke recently posted an great article from a keyboard article that was based on concepts with the Minor penatonic scale.

using the Cmin pentatonic C Eb F G Bb this scale can be used over the following chords .. Cm7 Dbmaj7 Fsus7 and Aalt7 i made a play along progression based on these chords and improvised over them using this scale ..

the progression is Aalt7 / Dbmaj7/ Fsus7/ Cmin7...

fun stuff .. how to work this into all 12 keys

Posting two of these lines counts for one assignment :)

Hey everyone,

Some extra lessons are on the way. With the busy vibes week in Delaware, I'll be helping Tony out by getting a few more lessons up for our 7WOB.

Check this etude out. There's good language ideas in here, not just for Crazeology, but you may find it useful for other rhythm changes as well. Good luck!

Hi Guys this month i'm going to do a lesson about bebop licks. I took four Charlie Parker licks and I transposed them in different key in order to get familiar with them. The purpose is that they become part of our vocabulary. Is important to focus not only in the notes and the relationship with the chords, but also to get the right phrasing for the Master like Parker Dizzy or Bud Powell!

As usual feel free to contact me through my website: www.giovanniperin.com

Remember to follow me on FB and Youtube!

Since the music for this is hard to find, I've included a lead sheet. Good luck!

I did a little interview recently for the radio, about Warren Wolf's new album 'Convergence'. It's a really nice record, full of humour and personality, and features a stellar band (Christian McBride, John Scofield, Brad Mehldau and Jeff Tain Watts), so check it out if you haven't heard it already.

My interview is right at the end of the programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07jxrc0

Hi vibe friends,

Here's a version of Scrapple vibists might not be familiar with. I think Jim really shows how far you can stretch these bebop tunes. This record also more or less changed jazz guitar playing forever.
