In previous lessons, we analyzed the bridge of rhythm changes and explored how to apply those ideas to other tunes. However, the A sections are just as important, as they follow common harmonic movements found in many standards. By practicing rhythm changes, you're effectively preparing yourself for countless other tunes.
In Part 8, we explore the altered scale (seventh mode of melodic minor) as a way to create tension over dominant chords before resolving back to the tonic or next chord. This scale contains altered chord tones—â™9, ♯9, ♯11, and â™13—which provide a wide palette of colors for jazz soloing.
Hello everyone,
This lesson is on how to pedal smoothly, which may seem simple, but I find a lot of people don't know how to actually do it.

I am doing a lot of teaching this semester. Probably the most I have ever done. It's really hard for a musician to turn work down. Well for me it is.
It's a lot of fun teaching students who practice and work hard. Not as much fun teaching students with lots of excuses.
I do have a bunch of good students though so that helps. Here's an exercise I made for one of them to work on the Bebop dom scale. Learn it, memorize it and play it fast!!!!
This will help with your voicings.
