LESSON DETAILS

"Blackbird"

I will teach you my arrangement of the Lennon-McCartney song "Blackbird." I will explain the harmony and arrangement to you while also showing you how to create a flowing, arpeggiated style. We will also discuss ways to create your own signature style on this and other songs. In this lesson, I recorded an improvisation with a click track to make it easier to transcribe.

LESSON COLLECTION DETAILS

Jazz Crossover

The lessons and songs in this course are a blend of jazz/rock and smooth jazz styles. I will teach you ways to cross over from rock to jazz styles through reharmonization and arrangement techniques.
