USING GUIDE TONES. THANKS ANDREW




Andrew Batchelar took the workshop last night with a top class session on building solos around guide tones. 3rds and 7ths of each chord.
Our workshop group is really good, everyone is so enthusiastic from the well-established top players we have, to the newcomers to jazz. It is a joy to be with them. There are no rock stars there either, no show-offs, big-heads, critics, and I can't tell you what a joy that is.

Andrew offered something for everyone, and it was very clearly explained.
There is a real art in teaching - it is reducing the subject to simple terms which anyone can understand. Andrew did just that.

Here is a video on the subject. Ok but not as good.
