This version is, I hope a little more present.

Hi Vibes lovers, today the lesson is for advanced players who wants to extend they harmonic palette using triads that touch extensions of the chord (7, 9, 11, 13) on their solo.
Make sure to check the attached file where there'a table that shows what triads can be played over any type of chord.

As usual remember to check out my youtube channel and follow me on facebook and instagram.

This is a homage to one of my all time favorite songs,"The Witchita Lineman", by Glen Campbell. I love the unexpected harmonic movement and the general mood of the composition.
I first just worked on playing the melody with a decent accompaniment. It took me forever! It's SO difficult to play correctly and maintain the mood and flow. Then after recording the melody a couple of times I decided to play a simple improvisation over the "vibe" of the song. Hope you like it.

Here's a short video of me playing the 11th dampening etude from David Friedman's book.
Feedback welcome.

Here's me playing Dampening Etude #12 from David Friedman's method book. Feedback welcome.

Play this down in whole steps. It should make sense, what to do.

Then try and vary it a bit, change the rhythms, add a note. Try to build on this.

This is essential to play standards and more complex original tunes.

This needs to be second nature!

The first dominant chord, in this example G13b9 uses the dominant diminished scale. The second chord in this example the A7b13b9 uses the Altered scale.

Dom Dim - G Ab Bb B Db D E F G
A Altered is - A Bb C Db Eb F G

Put this through all the keys.

Is this helpful???

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" - a classic song from Simon and Garfunkel that I've been working on the past few days. I worked with it for some reharm possibilities and applying voicings from my book Voicing Concepts for the Jazz Vibist (available from Amazon). The version from Art singing this at the Central Park concert is a must see. If anyone is interested they can message me for the lead sheet that includes the reharm.
