I find it interesting that one person gets credit for something and then as you look deeper into it you find others doing the same thing. You might think the Wright Bros invented the plane and then you look around and find others around…
Wow! Someone I think put some time into this.
It's a great bluesy solo that looks messy on paper! Great job writing all that down. I don't know if I would even know how to write it all down!
Here is my take on Quasimodo, warts and all. In spite of its not so easy chord changes (not my first choice for a solo piece) I included one solo chorus before playing the melody, because it ties in with my post from a few days ago (voice…
In this etude I really move the chords around. Lots of passing stuff. I suspend the 1 chord a bit.

H1CH on Stella.
Really trying to focus in on playing the changes. How did I do?
Each week I've been learning/re-learning tunes to make sure I really know them. Trying to really understand the chord scales in tunes and extensions I can use…
(I’m Getting Sentimental Over You, by George Bassman)
After months of trial and error, I may have developed a mallet design that works for my particular style of playing. I first posted on VW last December, using pouch-style leather…
Quasimodo is a contrafact based on Embraceable you. It's a beautiful melody.
Your assignment is to learn the melody and play it well! Record it and upload it. Just the melody is fine. You will get a lot out of this as it's a melody to a…
