Focus On Group Playing

You will learn “So What” a classic Mile’s Davis modal song in two parts. In the first part of the lesson, you’ll learn about the dorian mode and start working on the chord voicings which make this song so iconic.

In this lesson, you will learn different ways of using both the dorian and pentatonic scales for improvisation. You’ll also learn several scale patterns that will boost your improvisation creativity.

In this follow up lesson, you’ll learn how to master the solo from Miles Davis’s So What using the dorian scale. Each chapter breaks it down into smaller pieces to help you understand the theory behind the solo.

This up-tempo Rogers/Hart jazz piano classic will get your toes tapping and is great for the intermediate or more advanced player. If you’ve gone through my Step-By-Step Standards series, then you’re ready for this lesson. Inside, you’ll learn rootless voicings along with comping techniques to get you ready for playing with the band!

This is where the “rubber meets the road.” It’s game time. In this session you will be playing along with the band…LIVE! Don’t worry, we will go slow and I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. If you’ve worked through the “This Can’t Be Love” Piano Melody And Comping lesson, you’ll definitely want to put your skills to the test in this live band session.
