Put the Voicings Through the Scale - Approach It Like This

(ESP) Bienvenidx a Vibesworkshop.com ! Tuve una gran clase con un alumno mío. Estamos trabajando las posiciones abiertas y cerradas de acordes, además de utilizarlos por toda la escala. Casi siempre sugiero que se trabaje una mano a la vez, pero se nos ocurrió una alternativa que musicalmente hablando tiene sentido. Entonces, es muy simple, lo que vas a hacer es tocar Do mayor, (tan fácil no?). Vamos a tocar este acorde moviendo una mano por vez, pero la que no se mueve se queda en donde estaba, entonces muevo esta mano (la derecha) por arriba y dejo esta mano (la izquierda) abajo.

I Remember April Study - With Your Notation Program

So here's the deal.

I have a Sibelius file and a midi file and an xml file. So there's a way to use this with any notation file or even DAW that you have.

I put down chord tones on the beat. You fill in the off beats with notes from the scale (the rests).

Make musical sense. Half step below is fine. Half above has to be in the scale.
Listen to it and make changes to make it sound as good as you can. it won't sound super great but parts of it you will like and you can play. I recommend playing the whole solo.

I'll Remember April

Here are 2 files. One I've completed and one is for you to complete.

Write in the chords, then put notes in on the 8th note rests to make a solo (my version has it done for you to check out). Make it sound as good as you can.

If you have questions, put them below.

The files are here:

I have Sibelius files, midi files, xml files and pdfs and an audio file of my final version.
