Some people just breeze past the melodies of standards to simply get to the soloing and neglect to give the melody the attention it deserves, with this lesson i am hoping to change that.

I like it when players share lessons that you can improvise on. This is one of those types of lessons. You will hear a lot of songs as you play along with this standard progression.

This is a standard latin jazz tune. Perhaps better described as a Bossa Nova. There are no latin music designations on this site. Some analysis, modulation to related musical keys. Nice to jam on.

This run/lick works best with the blues or jazz stuff over a G7 but you might also try squeezing it in over a G or G7 in a fast country tune. It's also a good warmup excercise.

This tune has some of the elements that Mancini had used from time to time. The moving voice is a very powerful background enhancing the mood of a theme by many composers.

This is a type of latin tune that repeats the chord progression many times. A montuno. The Dominant 7th is not allowed to have a sustained resolution until the very end. Lyrics say real wealth is beyond measure in the little things we cherish.

This is one of the great little tunes played at Jam Sessions in the wee hours of the morning at some of the clubs on the West Coast After Hours. Light House. Chord Progression easy. Up tempo. You need to know the tune.
