After a brief hiatus, I finally threw together a quick audio lesson for you guys.
Simple ideas about how I think of Minor 7 b5 chords, Minor 2,5's, etc.
Let me know if this makes sense or needs further clarification.

Here is a take from tonight's practice session. I am using the changes from the Real Book, with descending bass line. The intro is an idea take from John Piper's under water echo technique that he did in Dolphin Dance. Left hand comp contains 4ths and tri-tones. In the second chorus I tried doing a Freddy Green 4 strokes to the bar comping with LH.

This is my first assignment from Tony, let me know what you think!

A little break from the TOTM, but I started talking about this in the intros video for How Deep Is The Ocean.

I think this is an important subject that some of you may find helpful!

Because this composition contains so many ii-V's I thought it's a good idea to learn outlines.

I was in waorkshop today with Graig Bailey and he was talking about practising a tune with different rythms which eventually leads you to different stlyes. So rythm is EVERYTHING!
This is a good way to practise tunes!

thanks

This is another solo on the tune Recado bossa nova.
