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.
Lesson Duration: 01:12:33
2 "Moondance" Improvisation In this second part of the Moondance lesson, we will be focusing on the improvisation. In this lesson, I'll show you some of the licks played on the recording as well as new licks that you can use over this song and others. This is a great lesson for triplet exercises and also triplet groupings. If you want to learn how to improvise in a rock setting, you'll want to go through this lesson! The song lesson is also available on the site, just do a search.
