Here's a little suppliment to the 2nd lesson on My Romance.

Below is an etude I wrote to go along with the lesson.

Consider this a more advanced lesson or a supplement to lesson 2.

i was inspired by behns post playing a tune with just lines and as i was currently practicing donna lee i thought to use this tune for it. here´s the result with some blue notes in the theme...like always...

p.s. next is working on different keys...i know. working on it.

Florian messing around on the vibes... :o)

I'm inspired by the TOTM gang.

I used to have a database on my palm phone with several hundred tunes on it. I knew almost all of them at one point. Then I switched phones, got a palm pre and didn't switch all that over.

However you guys inspired me and a week ago I installed a DB program on my Iphone. I put in about 200 tunes and am building the list again. I have a DB set up with a few different views.

All tunes
Swing tunes
ballads
up tempo tunes

Then I have a pop menu for each tune. Either I know it, have to refresh it (means I can fake it if I have to), or learn it.

I was practicing a few weeks ago and when reviewing some of my taping, I really liked this one for some reason. It is quite short so I decided to share it. it was practice with some different goals, most of which were accomplished.

Tony demonstrates different approaches to playing over rhythm changes.
We saw a lot of this at the workshop in Delaware.

Here you go! Lesson 2 for the TOTM. Also I'll post a simple chord etude to check out. This is from another lesson I did on this tune.

Yo,

Here's my first contribution to the TOTM.
