Since I Fell For You
ORIGINAL- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZCFyGG7gYM
More info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Since_I_Fell_for_You

Try with LH chords only.  No bass.  We'll add in fills later.
We worked on bringing the voicings down to middle C so they support the vocal better.

Improvising
All you need is;  Eb Blues Scale, Melody variations, Chord Tones


​Al Jarreau version

Save Your Love For Me
Now you have a good chart to work from.
Challenging melody.  It will take a bit to get it set.

ANOTHER BUDDY JOHNSON TUNE

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeHNgG4AFnQ



​Your song
Lost.(why they're gone/lost/broken) Lost..... Gone/Done/Synonym......won't you please start to/keep up/learn to fight

Verse 2
Night.......  Ground.......  Fight........ Found......
(skewing more positive a bit)

Bridge- Your; support, love, you won't leave

​Chorus- resolution

BLACK COFFEE - POP QUIZ TODAY

Nice work on the fill lines.  If not sure, use chord tones.

at middle OR below C
C7- E Bb D#/Eb   3  b7  #9
Db7-F Cb/B Eb    3  b7  9
F7- Eb A D       b7  3  13

WORK ON BLUES SCALE ALONE UNTIL COMFORTABLE WITH LH VOICINGS
C Blues Scale- 1 b3 4 #4 5 b7 1 = C Eb F F# G Bb C

3 note patterns
F Ab Bb
Ab Bb B
Bb B C
B C Eb
C Eb F

4 note patterns

NEW TODAY
3 4 5 4 3
#2 3 5

ONE NOTE EXERCISE
Find a note in a chord (avoid the 4th)
Move up or down, only a whole step or 1/2 step
on each chord.  This will lead you to hear new notes

We also found that sometimes one note, like the E on ALL OF ME, works almost all of the way through.

A Train- Ella

It Don't Mean a Thing
​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ScOUncmWOE

Ipanema
Sing and Play 1 2 3 4 5
but on #11 your 4th is #4
then, play and sing 1 3 5 7

​Improv Development

- Play Melody Variations
same notes/different rhythms
same rhythms/SOME notes different

Find chord tones on each chord (3rds, 9ths, 6ths)

Improvise on 2 chord tones (Root/3rds, 3rd/5th, Root/5th etc)
Vocal patterns today 8?13/20
3rd-Root
1 3 5 7
3 5 7 1
3 5 7 9
Half step approach to 3-1 (Cmaj7- D# E C, Gmi7- A Bb G, FMaj7- G# A F)
 #2 3 5(Cmaj7- D# E G, D7- F F# A (or A#), Gmi7- A Bb D, FMaj7- G# A C)
First without track to get notes more sure.

If you're not sure about notes on a song;

Arpeggiate each chord; 1 3 5 7 or 3 5 7 9
​Play; 1 2 3 4 5 and 3 4 5 6 7 and maybe 5 6 7 8 9 on each chord
