here it is
This is a great lick. It really gives some insight about weaving and vocabulary.
Check out the bebop major scale coming down. What a natural evolution for the scale huh? It just smooths out the major scale!
I love how he gets to the 4 chord at the end.
I laugh when I play this lick.
I'm definitely on the side of learning licks to study and show you ways through changes. I'm definitely of the belief that it does NOT make you a cut and paste player unless you already were, and then that's another story.
Ok, here's my final. Do your. Play the tune. Anything, do something! Play the head, take a solo. Just play the head.... do something!
PART 3
Academic but still might be interesting to anyone studying Giant Steps.
Doc Chittum is a very loved faculty member at Uarts. He does a lecture each year where he ties Giant Steps all the way back to Mozart. The lecture is pretty amazing. This is a 4 part excerpt from the lecture. In the lecture he hands out music and shows this lineage that's really incredible!
giovanni presents some concepts for reharmonizing the turnaround...
This clip shows some simple examples to get a pseudo-salsa piano comping sound on the vibes. I've included a basic idea and a few variations. The last example is more of an exercise or short etude, and a transcript pdf file of that one is attached.
