I had this idea today. Just trying to figure out how to implement it as well see if there's interest.
I want to start a tune club for the summer. I would like it to be very disciplined. The idea is we learn 2-3 tunes a week.
I got it... we could do it like this. Week Challenges. I'll post the tunes say on a Wednesday. We all study the tunes all week and then post by the the following 7th day your version. I (or maybe Phillipe!) will make play along tracks. Just rough for you guys to learn the tunes. Everyone has to submit the tune by the 7th day.
I'm fasinated by lines so today I studied opening licks. I put them down in a Finale doc and thought I'd post them.
I sat and listened to them until I could pretty much play them, then I went over to the hunk of metal and tried to slowly play the lick without messing up. Then I sped it up and put it through all the keys.
You guys should try it. Licks are attached.
It's an interesting coincidence that the week after Gary was blogging about working with Astor Piazzolla, I received a phone call from a friend of mine inquiring if I wanted to play some tango gigs with him as a duo - he would play violin and I would play accordion. So I said okay on the condition that the music has to be played right - no shucking and jiving through a group of tango tunes, and Lou (the violinist) was completely on board with that.
This is a great tune with great changes.
