What a great tune Flamenco Sketches is for working on chords and chord melodies. There is no melody so it's all you! I love practicing this tune.
Kurt's thoughts on playing solo on the guitar definitely apply to the vibes. Especially some of the beginning comments.
Check out when he talks about how he works on voicings.
Man, it's the end of the semester here. I'm working my ass off between gigs, students, classes and setting up my summer.
Musicians HAVE to think at least one season ahead. It's spring and if it isn't happening it probably won't. Get to summer. I bet the heavy cats are thinking 2 seasons or a year ahead. OK.
Anyway, let me officially announce we are working on Rhythm changes now. This is our tune of the month, officially.
So, why don't you guys blog about rhythm changes. What do you want to know? What do you think about??
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

MikeK added a link to this lesson. But it is really great so I thought I'd add it as an embedded video!

This lesson will be more valuable after you learn the tune! - Tony Miceli
