![]() Without doubt the most time and cost effective investment I’ve made in taking my playing to where it should be…Cheers Steve.Blues is a music genre and musical form that originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s. I don’t know how many times have I had lessons in the past where I’ve ended up covering the same concepts when really a ‘replay’ of the last lesson would have been fine! I’m not on commission here – just wanted to write a review to encourage people to do this. The (many) benefits of this membership are that you can have lessons at time convenient to you, they work out A LOT cheaper than face-to-face lessons with a teacher of the same calibre and you can replay them ad infinitum. I’ve been a member of Steve’s site for about six months now and the difference it has made to my playing is immeasurable.I have been shedding your materials for quite a while now and I love them! They are extremely well organized and presented and there are tons of ‘em! I really appreciate your methodical approach and find myself referring students to your resources often.I’ve been downloading your lessons for 4 months now (20 lesson) and I have noticed tremendous growth in my playing thus far!

Now I have to pick another solo to start for next week…………. ![]() Thanks again to Bob Mintzer for his great playing and all he does on a daily basis to promote jazz music and education. If you have any other thoughts about this solo please feel free to let me know in the comments below. This is a great solo to study and work on! There are a lot of great ideas in this solo to learn from and you can see and hear how easily Bob navigates through all the keys. Each chorus of the solo modulates up a half step until they have traveled through all 12 keys. In this youtube clip he is playing with Russell Ferrante on piano. He always plays ideas that you can grasp on to and that are catchy, yet he mixes in some pretty hip and advanced harmonic concepts into his lines. I love Bob’s playing because it is so melodic and thematic. This is another solo from one of my favorite tenor sax players, Bob Mintzer and is from a youtube clip of Bob soloing on a blues in all 12 keys. Here’s another solo transcription I just finished this week.
