Here's David performing 'Everything I Love', the lesson will be up soon!

Especially check out the left hand and the counter lines. Think about the harmony and how David is representing it in the left hand. This is a really interesting and great study for all of us. - Tony Miceli

Hey guys,

Here are some exercises I was working on the other day. You can stick them into your improvs as vehicles to get from one point to another nicely and create a bit of excitement and change. The first one is one creates the dimished scale but the rest are quite different. I call them "interval scales". After you do them with the half step between each other interval, go back and replace the half step with a whole step, then again with a minor third, Fourth etc...

It's also good for ear training on intervals.
Hope you enjoy.

Here's some great advice from John Piper.- Tony Miceli

Ok, guys. I just found this on youtube and I searched on the site and I believe this has not been posted here.

ok, forgive me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not.... WWOOOWW!!!

I believe this is one of David's students, right?

Man, he just kicks ass on this transcription of Chega. I couldn't believe it!!

Enjoy!

Gary has a vibes until C low but in all video never play any note from the low register! Funny not?

I was just walking around Dallas today and look who I found! - Tony Miceli

Let's back up a couple days. I saw Burton play, the music was great. Gary was talking about how it was new music and making jokes about maybe making mistakes. Well if they did, it didn't matter. These are serious and heavy pros. I know what went on behind the scene to make this first night work, however I assumed Scott Colley, and Antonio and Julian came in with the music down. But I could be wrong. Although it sounded like they had it down.

Triste is one of my favorite Jobim tunes. It's nice to see the reactions from Thomas and Billy in these vids since I don't see their faces when I'm playing. I was laughing at their reaction at the beginning of my solo. I'm playing a blues type lick over the first 8 bars of the solo. It looks like their saying, "what is he playing?, is he lost? etc. Then they have a sigh of relief at bar 9 when I resolve the motive to the C-7 chord.
