Oliver recently did a lesson on playing Misty solo for beginners. It's great lesson!
Meanwhile, I bought the application Staffpad for the Ipad. Where you can write your music using a Apple Pencil. That's what I like about the Ipad, it's that I can write notes and things. I miss that.
However learning Staffpad is a pain in the is. So I've been writing out tunes that I know like Donna Lee, and here is a solo vibe version of Misty.

Great lesson to break into playing tunes solo.
