So here's what we will do for 25 days starting Dec. 5th. We will post 8 bars a day for you to work on.
Take the 8 bars master them then move on to the next 8 bars. Each 8 bars will have a topic and a point to them. They will not all be related.
So get ready for 8BD
Go here for the event:
Hey guys,
My vibraphone trio, The Wee Trio, just released our fifth CD today. We expanded the trio for trumpet, guitar, and piano. It features Nicholas Payton, Nir Felder, and Fabian Almazan. Here's an EPK/Promo video of the record.
Hi everyone,
We're starting our 8 weeks of ballads today. Keep on the look out for my Blue In Green chord studies. Good luck!

His time is really good. I actually think he does a pretty good job!
I am learning a ton making lessons of these bebop tunes.
It's so great for me. I learn and my playing gets better.
If you're a hard worker I'm sure you are also learning a ton during these 7 weeks.
Tell me what you're learning.
I did some work on Donna Lee last summer, so I'm going to challenge myself this week to play the head in all 12 keys.
I'll start today with Ab and D. Someday it would be cool to work each key up to tempo, but I'll be content with medium swing for now.
