So this is an exercise I've done a lot. There's actually 2 exercises going on here. First I'll take a ballad and play as simply as I possibly can. It's a great way to work on your concentration and even technique. Technique? Yes because…

I was chatting with my Dad tonight and he mentioned he heard Skylark on the radio and thought it would be nice to learn. I couldn't find it in my two fake books, which I am surprised. I thought it was a popular standard. I started doing…

We're in our second lesson with 'Take the A Train' in our tune group. I'm psyched and hoping that people stay interested in this. I think it would be pretty cool to have someday 10 or 20 of us working on a tune all together. That kind of…
