Tunes
Tell me what tune you are working on right now! I'm learning some nice standards for a gig coming up. Estrellita Ms Otis Regrets (courtesy of @Viktor Houf) Thou Swell Willow Weep For Me. When I'm bulk learning tunes for a gig I try to spend each day going through a new one till I sort of know it. Once I have my set of tunes "buskable", I listen to different versions and mess around with them trying to find my own way of laying the melody. I always try to work out the harmony by ear but then check it against the ireal book changes to see if how I'm doing/if there are different ways of playing the chords. Which tunes are you working on?

@Michael Cormican has been a member of here from the beginning, we met in Spain at a Django style workshop. It's been great to see Michael making progress with everything since we first met, lots of changes in his sound as well as his ability to improvise over jazz sequences. Michael often takes advantage of the discussion board to post his progress and take part in the weekly lick challenges too. Here is a little repost of his version on last weeks "Lick Of The Week"

This Is such a nice and truthful post! I was honestly flabbergasted when i saw this video yesterday. This Is what a real progress looks like. I've been in this community just couple of months, therefore i dont know the whole story, but the difference of this video from what i saw Michael playing earlier is ASTOUNDING. Matt commented that already yesterday or whenever and Michael,being who he is- nice humble guy,didnt want to take too much credit for that..at least that was my impression....clarity od sound,being relaxed, swinging...dedication really works. You're the man Mike. No buttering up needed. Great inspiration for rest of us!❤️💪🌈
Lick of the week 3
So here's my version in an adventurous C major😂. I've tagged on a bit of augmented triad stuff. Hope it works!

What you working on this weekend?
What is everyone practising right now? For some people, the weekend is the best time to get some practise in (not for me, I have a toddler at home so if I'm not gigging, I’m out at the play park!) If you are using the weekend to get some practise in, what are you up to? Tell us in the comments!
