Lesson

Remember: I talk about bass lines in the top part of the chord. I do know that technically that's not a bass line. But there's something that a bass line does rhythmically (besides the low part of the chord) that helps the time. And I think you can put that anywhere.

In 12 keys? PDF is attached. Might be a nice lick to put through the keys and will also give you a quick study in a 4 mallet II V I progression.

I do think when you play something through the keys you do a lot of processing in your brain.

Here's a challenge for you guys.

Take any lick record it in twelve keys without stopping and post it here. Doesn't matter if it's Marie Had A Little Lamb. Post any lick here in 12 keys. Should take you 15 minutes.

Hey guys,

This is a GREAT exercise for writing, improvising, and tune learning. The idea is to write a new melody over the chord changes to an old standard tune. You can alter the harmony a little bit here and there to fit your new melody but the idea is that you could call a standard tune everyone knows, but it will sound completely different.
