Lesson

Quasimodo is a contrafact based on Embraceable you. It's a beautiful melody.

Your assignment is to learn the melody and play it well! Record it and upload it. Just the melody is fine. You will get a lot out of this as it's a melody to a tune but also a great solo in a way. Lots of bebop tunes sound like great solos!

I saw Tony's email on Friday with a link to the music for this, so I decided to take a look at it last night. And shot this video this morning.

There's at least one wrong note, so I haven't earned the "free" skype lesson, yet...assuming no one else has posted this. Has someone? :)

It obviously helped a ton to write in the chord symbols (pic attached). Took it slowly to make sure I am learning it. Challenging!

Thanks for the inspiration, Tony. I have so much work to do. Onward!
