Content type: Audio Player
Here's the first etude on block chords. Instead of thinking of it like an etude, practice these voicings and think of the etude as an intro for the tune. It is meant to be played freely, or rubato. Have fun with it!

Both Tony and Benh inspire me in this one. I reach 290 in I got rythm. Still a bit ackward but practicing at these tempos should give me more suppleness. Go back to my vibe .... ;o )

TOTM - Alone Together - Flavors!

Content type: Video Upload
I mention 5ths in the beginning of the video. I play 5ths but then quickly dive in to 4ths as I'm playing. So think 5ths and 4ths as I talk. Of course an inverted 5th is a 4th and vice versa.
