it seems we forgot a very cool version with the singers...maybe because we don´t expect him to sing jazz.

i like this version because it´s so simple and clear.

Alright...it's been two months since I posted any progress on transcribing Burton's solo on Afro Blue and I'm going to post because I need some motivation. I've been working on it on and off, but winter break and traveling for work put a big damper on getting anywhere with this.

Today I decided to record what I have. It's crazy that this is actually double the length of the last time I recorded, because I feel like I've hardly gotten anywhere, and there's still a full minute to transcribe! Aargh!!!

BUT I will soldier on, because it will all be worth it in the end!!!

check this out!

Hi Everyone,
It's the February Good Vibes update and that can only mean the annual getaway show. We'll go to "Morocco," "Crossing the Sudan," and see a "Sahara Sunrise." We'll explore some islands, "Barbados," "Tahiti," and travel through Mexico ("Ole"). We'll celebrate "Summertime" wherever we find it. Come along and warm up.

Hey everyone,
I decided to do a lesson which is about taking part of tunes into your solo. I think that this is a very interesting concept. Ofcorse I am not telling that you should use all the time but when it feel right to you it sounds very nice. The tune I used are

1. the intro from the tune "perdido"
2. the turnaround from the tune "groovin' high"
3. A charlie parker blues( I don't know remember exactly :)"
4. the start of the tune "If I were a bell"
5. the start of the tune "But not for me"

thanks (and I am sorry for my but English)

If you're going to try out the online class this weekend here's a way to prepare.

Learn the melody and the chords. Don't worry about a chord melody or anything like that if you don't want to.

Be able to play through the tune EVEN if you read the music. The point is to get from the beginning to the end whether you memorize or read.

Play the the tune a little each day so it's working it's way in your mind.

Print out a lead sheet to the tune, so you can look along with us as we play through the tune.

i found a cool and fun thing to do which is a good lesson i think. on this video at about 4 minutes chick plays some blues licks which gary instantly repeats together with the audience singing. the blues is in Bb flat and he uses mostly the Bb blues scale on his licks. can you play all the phrases like gary on the fly just by hearing the once you heard them?

i tried and it was not easy and i failed on most of them when i tried the first time. to me it prooves i still can´t play what i can sing. singing like the audience is no problem for every of us i think :)

Hello everyone and a happy new year. I hope you all doing well.
Thi is a solo on Doralice from a rehearsal in Athens.

Hope you like it!

thanks
