1 "Blackbird" I will teach you my arrangement of the Lennon-McCartney song "Blackbird." I will explain the harmony and arrangement to you while also showing you how to create a flowing, arpeggiated style. We will also discuss ways to create your own signature style on this and other songs. In this lesson, I recorded an improvisation with a click track to make it easier to transcribe.

2 "Moondance" Improvisation In this second part of the Moondance lesson, we will be focusing on the improvisation.
