Lesson

Scrapple is cool tune mainly because it's a variation of rhythm changes. Instead of I VI II V for the first 4 bars, it's ii V and then the rest of rhythm changes.

Here are my assignments.

1. 2 line studies and two chord studies. Do one of each (you pick).
2. Play the melody in at least 2 keys (it's a great ii V study!) Fill in the chords on the studies.
3. Play the tune solo, take a chorus, comp for a chorus and then take the tune out.

For this week:

I've posted an Epic Etude. With 4 parts.

Part 1 - Double Stops and Very Rhythmic
Part 2 - Chord Etude
Part 3 - Rhythmic Solo
Part 4 - Chord Melody Solo

I've also posted a quarter note solo.
