I played with our official site bass player today and we recorded a couple tunes. I thought I'd post them. Mark is a great guy and a great player and a great friend! We get together as often as we can and play and work on stuff. Check out…
I took on the challenge of learning the Chopin Prelude no. 4 that Dana posted (See Check This Out). It looked relatively easy. Nice and slow, not so many notes. But, it was really tough for me. I needed to do some revoicings because…
I was called for a gig at the last minute last night and barely made it in on time. The gig turned out to be the best gig I've done in a while. We made a crap-load in tips and the Manager liked us so much he just payed us extra and asked…

Sorry to re-surface this lesson but for some reason it was listed as "new" in my posts and when I checked on it the accompanying PDF was missing. Just thought I would fix it.
Here is my Drop 2 version of "As Time Goes By". All I am doing here is playing the melody harmonized in Drop 2 voicing. When there is no melody, I fill it in a little but I was trying to keep it simple. I have attached the music to…

Cool stuff!
Man I've been here practicing for the last few hours. I'm working on stuff I worked on yesterday and I'm realizing once again how important consistency is.
I'm seeing what I did yesterday flow a little better today. It's really exciting…

Enjoy!

A lot of stress! and there are a couple of bad choice of notes in my solo :/
Also, I find that the attacks of notes is too precise and squared, no? I would like to have…
I've been pretty curious as to why there are never any discussions about Stefon Harris on this site. Does no one dig him? In my opinion he is one of the heaviest vibe players alive (if not the heaviest). If you guys don't listen to him you…
