You know what to do. Write in all the names of the chords and then play the etude.

Do etudes like this help you? At least you hear the changes and hear the tune, right?

Hi guys !
Long time I haven't posted some. But still particing .. more and more ... again and again.
I'm a work addict and a vibes addict.
I finally found a bass player and a guitar player and we're working on a band project.
I'll show you when it will be all set.
We play Oblivion. Nice piece to play soloing though.

Hello everyone!
Last week I practised and played a lot with a Greek piano player from Spain and he show a cool thing! If the bass player play a d flat (instead of G) you can play d flat sus chord which is a B triad over d flat.
