A couple of months ago I posted some work I did on integrating a couple of the improv workshop lessons into a practical application over a Bb Blues progression. Feedback from @Coach Gabriel Sebrian was to turn it into a fixed etude and work on stabilizing it. This is the result of that effort. There is a little more stabilization work at 120bpm, but this was a good take. I can slow it down and be more stable, but I also wanted to push my fingers and brain a bit on the speed front. The etude incorporates targeting thirds (and some fifths) using the standard bullseye method, chromatic enclosures and all three of the linear connectors covered in the first lesson on that topic. Next step would be to try and play one of the canned lines as a "call" following it with an improvised response and vice versa. This would be similar in spirit to the excellent work @Chad Bird showed us on his last neighbor tones exercise post. As always feedback is always greatly appreciated!

Broke my weekly posting streak...hope this to be the start of another. I have been continuing to work on the chord melody for Round Midnight. In addition to addressing feedback on parts A/A', I've also been getting part B under my fingers. Still some rough spots, but overall I am not unhappy with where this is at. Still need a lot more reps as quality of each still varies pretty widely and then there is the matter of putting all the parts together... As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!

https://youtu.be/1usoxryzB5Y There's so much wrong with this recording, I just wasn't feeling it. But, I'm really tired of this tune and I've got to get past it, so I'm posting it and moving on. All I was really trying to do was learn to resolve to targets, mostly always thirds here, and in any way I could get there. Tasteful it's not, but I think I met my goal.
