I haven’t had time to look and see how much this has already been covered before I joined the site. I’m hoping there is something useful here.
Here's part 1 of the harmony for our TOTM, "How Deep Is The Ocean."
For those of you who took the class today, thank you! Me and Behn are really trying to get some stuff going. I've been meeting with Behn and we've been brain storming.
Ok, Your assignment is two parts.
1.Tell us what you liked about the class, and if there's anything you think we could do to make it better.
2. Do one of the following:
Make sure your time is good, so play this as slow as you need to keep the time. That's very very important.
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 :)
