I’m in my 1st 2 weeks of module 1. I’ve played about 20 years and get together with some piano player and a guitar player each independently for a bit of blues and a bit of jazz standards.
How does one coordinate this course with one’s former and ongoing musical life? Since I’m going module by module, I’m not skipping ahead.
If I’m playing a ii/V/I for a standard, how should I/do I use these 1/4/5 mixolydian voicings, OR?
Hi Jack,
The truth is that this course is not designed to coordinate with each person’s different level of personal music involvement with others. That would be impossible due to the fact that everyone is at a different level.
My aim is to teach all the fundamentals and gradually build on them until you have the necessary resources to interact musically with others with a solid understanding of the jazz language. For the sake of those that aren’t that advanced, I have to lay a basic foundation first in all the different aspects involved. Otherwise people are left with too many gaps. Therefore, I don’t start working with II-Vs until we are a few modules into the course.
I recommend that those who are more advanced and have a good grasp of the initial material move on at their own pace by requesting to be in the Full Access level. This way the entire course is available at once and you can move on quicker, say to working with II-Vs or something else.
let me know if you have any further questions.
Richie
