TIPS FOR LEARNING A NEW TUNE
and
-- tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson (Taken from Jamey’s volume 1 book: “How to Play and Improvise”)
PRACTICE PROCEDURES FOR MEMORIZING SCALES AND CHORDS TO ANY SONG

Think of the blues progression as being three four-bar sections. It has a beginning (4-bars), a middle section (4-bars), and an ending (4-bars). After you become familiar with various scales and chords, you won’t need to go through ths practice procedure when working on a new tune. You’ll already have the needed scales and chords memorized. This is what the professional jazz musician has done. Commit to memory and enjoy making music. , the purpose of any exercise is to help you truly MAKE MUSIC. Your OWN music.
As you play, memorize the chord/scale progression as well as the chord and scale tones. After playing through these eight choruses, I think you’ll be surprised how easy it is to memorize. Concentrate on the SOUND of each note.
The eight exercises listed below represent the typical jazz approach to learning the basic harmony for the blues in Bb. You’ll want to vary the rhythms to add variety and make them sound more improvised. You can use this approach for learning ANY scale or chord to ANY song. The Bb blues progression is taken from the Volume 42 “Blues In All Keys.”

Below are several exercises every musician should memorize and be able to play in all MAJOR, MINOR (Dorian Minor), and DOMINANT 7th keys. These are basic exercises which will help you gain speed and dexterity. Begin by practicing slowly, then gradually increase speed. Strive for smoothness and slur each exercise. Keyboard and string players should play legato. After you get the feel of several, consult the ARTICULATIONS chapter. These exercises are great for warming up each day. You can apply these to ANY scale or chord, regardless of quality. Due to space considerations, I have only listed three qualities.

ariations on Blues
My last article dealt with the Blues (12 bar blues), so I would like to follow up with variations on the blues progressions that have been in common use in the jazz idiom. The term “three chord songs” are usually referring to the simplest of blues progressions. If you are in the key of F, the three chords which form the basis of the blues in that key are F7, Bb7, and C7. F7 is called a roman numeral I (one) chord. and V chords. As blues evolved in the hands of the jazz musicians across the country by way of the radio and home stereos, more and more musicians played blues and naturally some would take liberties with the chord structure and alter the chords to match what they were hearing in their mind’s ear. As the various alterations were ed from musician to musician, they became part of the blues structure. I have listed 17 different blues progressions found in Dan Haerle’s book “Jazz/Rock Voicings for the Contemporary Keyboard Player”, published by Studio P/R, Inc. The progressions read from left to right! The ones at the top are the easier, simpler progressions. As you move down the page they become more altered and present more of a challenge to the up anc coming jazz player. It is best to practice with one complete progression until you feel comfortable with it, then move on to the next one. You may also want to substitute a measure in one blues with the same measure in another blues below or above. Number 14 is one that Charlie Parker used on a blues called Blues For Alice and another called Laird Bird. Number 16 uses a steady stream of minor chords (ii) moving to dominant 7th chords (V7) usually called ii/ V7’s or a series of ii/V’s. Experiment with the various progressions. Begin slowly so you can hear the root progression clearly. In time, your mind will it and you can move more rapidly. Try to memorize each progression as you are working on it. Memory is a key process in improvising! Listen to jazz players on records and see if you can hear when they are substituting chords or scales or licks or patterns over the basic three chord progression. The masters do it all the time and with such ease that often our ears don’t even realize they have deviated from the basic progression being played by the rhythm section. You may want to check out Volume 2 “Nothin’ But Blues” in my play-a-long book/cd series. It contains eleven different blues progressions played by the rhythm section and you can play and practice along with them. Bass players and piano players can even turn off one channel of their stereo and substitute themselves for the player on the recording. It is a great way to practice with a professional rhythm section.
Read from left to right! Measure 1 No.

TIPS FOR LEARNING A NEW TUNE
and
-- tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson (Taken from Jamey’s volume 1 book: “How to Play and Improvise”)
PRACTICE PROCEDURES FOR MEMORIZING SCALES AND CHORDS TO ANY SONG

Think of the blues progression as being three four-bar sections. It has a beginning (4-bars), a middle section (4-bars), and an ending (4-bars). After you become familiar with various scales and chords, you won’t need to go through ths practice procedure when working on a new tune. You’ll already have the needed scales and chords memorized. This is what the professional jazz musician has done. Commit to memory and enjoy making music. , the purpose of any exercise is to help you truly MAKE MUSIC. Your OWN music.
As you play, memorize the chord/scale progression as well as the chord and scale tones. After playing through these eight choruses, I think you’ll be surprised how easy it is to memorize. Concentrate on the SOUND of each note.
The eight exercises listed below represent the typical jazz approach to learning the basic harmony for the blues in Bb. You’ll want to vary the rhythms to add variety and make them sound more improvised. You can use this approach for learning ANY scale or chord to ANY song. The Bb blues progression is taken from the Volume 42 “Blues In All Keys.”

Below are several exercises every musician should memorize and be able to play in all MAJOR, MINOR (Dorian Minor), and DOMINANT 7th keys. These are basic exercises which will help you gain speed and dexterity. Begin by practicing slowly, then gradually increase speed. Strive for smoothness and slur each exercise. Keyboard and string players should play legato. After you get the feel of several, consult the ARTICULATIONS chapter. These exercises are great for warming up each day. You can apply these to ANY scale or chord, regardless of quality. Due to space considerations, I have only listed three qualities.

ariations on Blues
My last article dealt with the Blues (12 bar blues), so I would like to follow up with variations on the blues progressions that have been in common use in the jazz idiom. The term “three chord songs” are usually referring to the simplest of blues progressions. If you are in the key of F, the three chords which form the basis of the blues in that key are F7, Bb7, and C7. F7 is called a roman numeral I (one) chord. and V chords. As blues evolved in the hands of the jazz musicians across the country by way of the radio and home stereos, more and more musicians played blues and naturally some would take liberties with the chord structure and alter the chords to match what they were hearing in their mind’s ear. As the various alterations were ed from musician to musician, they became part of the blues structure. I have listed 17 different blues progressions found in Dan Haerle’s book “Jazz/Rock Voicings for the Contemporary Keyboard Player”, published by Studio P/R, Inc. The progressions read from left to right! The ones at the top are the easier, simpler progressions. As you move down the page they become more altered and present more of a challenge to the up anc coming jazz player. It is best to practice with one complete progression until you feel comfortable with it, then move on to the next one. You may also want to substitute a measure in one blues with the same measure in another blues below or above. Number 14 is one that Charlie Parker used on a blues called Blues For Alice and another called Laird Bird. Number 16 uses a steady stream of minor chords (ii) moving to dominant 7th chords (V7) usually called ii/ V7’s or a series of ii/V’s. Experiment with the various progressions. Begin slowly so you can hear the root progression clearly. In time, your mind will it and you can move more rapidly. Try to memorize each progression as you are working on it. Memory is a key process in improvising! Listen to jazz players on records and see if you can hear when they are substituting chords or scales or licks or patterns over the basic three chord progression. The masters do it all the time and with such ease that often our ears don’t even realize they have deviated from the basic progression being played by the rhythm section. You may want to check out Volume 2 “Nothin’ But Blues” in my play-a-long book/cd series. It contains eleven different blues progressions played by the rhythm section and you can play and practice along with them. Bass players and piano players can even turn off one channel of their stereo and substitute themselves for the player on the recording. It is a great way to practice with a professional rhythm section.
Read from left to right! Measure 1 No.
