7WOB - Au Privave - Behn's Lessons

My lesson is once again an epic etude made up of a few parts. Do the parts that are of interest to you.

Everyone:
As always, memorize the tune and the chords.

Here's a "jam session"! version of Groovin' High with a long intro. I like the roughness and experimental quality of the take. We didn't discuss the transition from the intro to the head, or much else. (Maybe it sounds like that!)

Ok Tricotism: Here are your assignments :-)

Beginners:

1. Print out the Epic Etude. There are 3 choruses in this etude. Take the chorus with the comping (chords) and fill in the chords with their extensions.
2. Play the head, play a solo (even a chord tone solo), comp for one chorus and then play the head out. Repeat the last 4 bars as a tag.
3. Play the A section in one of key.

Intermediate and advanced

Ticotism

Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton - a beautiful and emotional song which is one of my favorite tracks from Eric's Unplugged recording. (a really great recording). It was a challenge but also fun working on this song with the mainly diatonic and triadic harmony. Any wrong note sticks out like a sore thumb.

Groovin High

He is 84 years old at the time this video was recorded.... !
