Jazz Language Bootcamp: Day 2
Today we take the line up a fifth to D major, using the open strings as our friend, and learn it up an octave too. That gives us a new fingering without having to think too hard, and gets us ready for tomorrow. The lesson is here: https://www.skool.com/jazzviolin/classroom/c0d4b6c9?md=5babef1cb1fc42c7a4eee1f6b25e7f7c Once you have it in D in both octaves, comment DONE below, or post a video of it here.

Timing a bit off, I was smiling too much...

@Matt Holborn Good to hear. Not exactly natural, I have exposed myself to this stuff quite a lot in the past (learnt a simple kind of swing bowing at some point), but so grateful to you for laying out a path for me to follow now.

7 Day Jazz Language Bootcamp: Day 1, Learn The Line
Today we just learn the line in its original place, over a 2 5 1 in the nice violin-friendly key of G major. If you did my 5 day challenge, you might already know this one. In the video I show you how the line is built and what each note means against the chords. The lesson is here: https://www.skool.com/jazzviolin/classroom/c0d4b6c9?md=943a82ab67044bf78bdc79520e8e9ef9 Once you can play it in G, comment DAY 1 below. Or record it and post the video here so we can all hear how you're getting on.

A mental practice today as I'm resting my hand. Found this video of an 'easy' solo over Lady Be Good and followed along on the piano. I liked his idea of finding skeletons and then decorating them, by which I think he just meant ornamenting the roots... and also going up an arpeggio and down a scale over a 251 (am I allowed to write that in Roman numerals??). Frustrated not to play, but trying to understand that embracing my current limits is the only way to actually progress, rather than continuing to the point where I'm forced to stop.
