I don't mean these as deadlines as in drop dead deadlines, more as guides to assist our progress.
I find it easier to follow threads that are cohesive as opposed to some that are all over the place. After all even the most Free of a Free Jazz has some sort of structure.
Just a thought.

Sounds about right to me, I'm stuck on #2 as well...can't get past the A section at the moment so I'm doing other stuff for a day or two.

I'm working on #4 and had planned to record it this weekend. I'll set the recording aside but will start working of #5 Monday nonetheless. I seem to making progress and feel I should keep doin' what I been doin'... ;o)

Hello all,
I am considering participating in this study group (i know I'm late at the show). I don't own the book(s) yet and have been looking where to buy them.
I found them @ sheetmusicplus & Mel Bay (download versions)
I do have a question: is this a compilation of the 3 volumes of rhythm changes books we (you) are talking about?
Frank Vignola's Complete Rhythm Changes Play-Along for Guitar eBook+Online Audio - Mel Bay Publications, Inc. : Mel Bay
Thanks in advance,
Hugo

Been working on this for over a week now and here's a funny thing. This morning, I woke up and played it solo. (No backing track, no chart in front of me.) Went fine. Decided to record it, so I plugged in the webcam and opened the book. Played it and it wasn't so good.
It's possible when I played it the first time it wasn't as good as I thought.
But it seems to me I play much more tentatively when I'm playing while looking at a chart. I seem to play choppier and with more anxiety. I think I'm better off playing from memory, even though that has problems of its own. ("What comes next?")
Anyone else notice this about their own playing / recording?

I don't have time in my life to get in on these, but I just wanted to say after listening, that these etudes are really great nuts and bolts, if you will. You can see how pushed further, creating enclosures around the longer tones and such, and playing with the rhythm, that these can be the basis for great pre-bop kind of lines (very Christian-esque, IMHO) which is never a bad thing.
As for recording, oh man, yes, the pressure of recording and reading...let's just say that's why I'll never be a studio musician.
