12 keys


dude, that’s great!!!


I’m listening to the Milt solo now. That’s the S&*t.


You’re probably getting tons out of it aren’t you?


That’s the magic potion!


You know what I hear also? I hear your feel getting better and better as you play through each key. Keep that in mind when you’re playing. It’s really hard to swing at the tempo you’re playing.


I think you’re ready to move on to a different solo! I think it should be another instrument. Clifford Brown maybe? You’d be suprised how comfortable Trumpet solos are on the vibes. Maybe they are on all instruments, however I always feel great when I play trumpet solos on the vibes.


As a follow up, you should now work on playing solo choruses through all the keys of you sort of being influenced by him. Know what I mean?


Work on that, record yourself going through a bunch of keys and send that to me


Good Job!

Hey Tony,

I am getting loads of stuff out of it. Sometimes short phrases pop up out of nowhere when I solo! So that´s cool. So I´ll record soloing through 12 keys now. Should I do this like I did the solo, so in cycle. I tried this, but when I modulate to the new key in cycle of fourths it feels like I´m going to the fourth degree... That´s a little confusing. Maybe I should do it in half steps?
I'll check out a clifford solo. I'll let you know which one I choose ok?

Ok how about Joy Spring or Daahoud? That would be a challenge. And Joy spring really goes through the keys. That'll be good for a 2-5 workout!

let me know!
