I recently learned how to play the melody of the bebop standard "Donna" with my right hand, and I arranged it so I could play the head and comp at the same time in both Latin and swing. Here's a video of my attempt.
Enjoy! http://media.putfile.com/Donna-Lee74

Enjoy! http://media.putfile.com/Donna-Lee74 | Hey Havic - I know you from MX (you wouldn't know me)
anyway,
where did you get the sheet music for this? I want to get some Jazz stuff to polish off a few things i've been doing on Alto and Tenor Saxes. |

| | | | The tapping was very good, well done. When you went to the fingerstyle part it was obvious that you practice tapping more than anything else. Nothing wrong with that unless you want to be a bass player. I know a lot of players that focus on one technique such as tapping or slapping but can't play regular bass because of poor right hand technique. Your right hand tapping looked very controlled and practiced whereas your right hand plucking looked like a baby learning to walk. *DISCLAIMER* I understand that I'm judging you by one short video and that you very well be a better fingerstyle player than you appear. But again, great tapping! |

Ever since I've seen him tearing through Cousin Mary on BET Jazz's Studio Jams, he's been giving me inspiration.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Brixton, South London | | | Really good work - my only criticism (not of the tapping, which was excellent) was just your time went all over the place once you started soloing - I know you're trying to do two very difficult things at once - i.e. soloing and walking - but if you were to play this in front of a crowd I think you'd loose them through a lack of groove - and obvious excess of technique. I'll second that it wasn't obvious that your finger picking was that good, as it's good to have all your techniques on a similar level (it takes a lot of work I know), but you're young, you've got talent, and if you keep this up by the time you're as old and cynical as me you'll be kicking my butt into next week - overall great effort man.
