Taking part of tunes in your solo by Dimitris Angelakis -V

Hey everyone,
I decided to do a lesson which is about taking part of tunes into your solo. I think that this is a very interesting concept. Ofcorse I am not telling that you should use all the time but when it feel right to you it sounds very nice. The tune I used are

1. the intro from the tune "perdido"
2. the turnaround from the tune "groovin' high"
3. A charlie parker blues( I don't know remember exactly :)"
4. the start of the tune "If I were a bell"
5. the start of the tune "But not for me"

thanks (and I am sorry for my but English)

How to Prepare for the 1-19-2013 Online Class

If you're going to try out the online class this weekend here's a way to prepare.

Learn the melody and the chords. Don't worry about a chord melody or anything like that if you don't want to.

Be able to play through the tune EVEN if you read the music. The point is to get from the beginning to the end whether you memorize or read.

Play the the tune a little each day so it's working it's way in your mind.

Print out a lead sheet to the tune, so you can look along with us as we play through the tune.

Our New TOTM HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN and an Online Class 1-19-2013 at 2pm East Coast U.S.A. Time

Time

Let me announce our new TOTM. How Deep Is the Ocean.

I talked with Behn and we will attempt to keep this TOTM at about a month. Behn's idea! Hence we will live up to it's description.

HOWEVER, and in addition. Next Saturday at 2 pm we will have an online class where we will talk about the tune and take questions. Behn and I want to really experiment with the class idea. We're going to be trying out (beta) two things. One is using Livestream for classes and the other is Skype.
