Here is my take on Frank Vignola's Rhythm Changes #6
Today is July 29. I am way behind my own self imposed schedule. this should have been done a month ago.
I made a few changes to the fingerings that he suggested.
Rhythm Changes #6
As always, let me know what you think.
I would also like to know, who is still in the room ? Am I playing to the walls ?

What i found interesting about this one:
1. The accidentals: The Eb in bar 1 accentuates the b9 in D7b9
He often uses B natural to lead to C.
C# to lead to to D (bars 3 and 5)
Ab - The flat 3 on an F chord
F# - To accentuate the F# dim chord
Ab - To accentuate the Ab dim chord
B - To accentuate the B dim chord
2. I love his downright bluesy ending (Bars 29 - 32)
3. The Bridge - Bar 17 and bar 21 are mirrors of each other.
4. I love the silence in the first 2 beats of bar 24. Brilliant.
I added octaves to bar 20
I added chords to bars 16 and 29.
Tell me what you think.

Well done! You're not talking to an empty room. During the last two years I have twice been so obsessed with studying rhythm changes to the detriment of learning and playing over standards that it wasn't funny anmore so I'm taking a bit of a break from RC which doesn't mean that I'm not practising to improvise over them from time to time.
When time comes I'll be back in the game, I guess - still lots of etudes in the three volumes. Glad that you keep the flame burning.
Wonder if Mark is still around - he stepped down as moderator but does it mean he's also not around anymore?

I found this one to be much easier than the last 2

Let me know what you think
I would also like to know how many guitarists are still in the room. It's awfully quiet around here.

Frank Vignola's Complete Rhythm Changes Play-Along for Guitar eBook+Online Audio - Mel Bay Publications, Inc. : Mel Bay is this the right book? I like that it has e-book available
-
Yes, I think that is the book. It's the one I'm getting.
-
looks correct, I ordered the e-book. The first etude is "easy," but I'm certain the goal is to burn the sound into our ears as a smooth set of guide tones for our own solos. I didn't read much of this thread, so it might have been discussed already. I very quickly memorized the first two A sections of the first etude and immediately felt compelled to fill in the space with 8th notes utilizing just the major scale, diminished chord tones, and chromatic notes. I think I'll give etude #1 it's due study time

Hello, to the new joiners in the group. We outlined a very rough curriculum in post #270. Please do not feel that you need to stick to it or catch up as it were. Please feel free to look back at earlier posts and ask questions if necessary. This is meant to be group learning.

I could say a lot about this version of RC. I think I will wait to see how many viewers/listeners I have before I spill my thoughts.

Good job - interested in what you'd have to say about it. I seem to hear quite some CC phrasing there....
-
Ok y'all - kids back at school so I've got my recording studio (aka kid's bedroom) back.
#6 finally recorded, got some catching up to do...
comments welcome as ever.

Nice playing, dot!

Here's the next one - simple ideas, almost going back to the 'Basics' the book starts with but effective all the same (at least when Frank plays 'em). Easier than the previous etudes...
Did it in a rush before kids arrive to claim their space but...

You got me hooked ...?
Here's my take on it, another less busy one, (seems to be a theme for Book 2?)
fewer arps/scalar runs & more repeated motifs, lots more space. Some new rhythmic figures are used, previous etudes are largely 8th notes. The opening riff is revisited to close out the piece

Where is the group at now? (In Frank's book, I mean.) I might have time to get back into this series. I love the way Frank plays.
