Lesson 45 TEF's

Notes to Lesson 45

Yogi Berra is famous for his saying "Deja vu all over again."  About six months ago we worked on a set of 7 8-bar and 4 16-bar sequences that provide some of the most famous chord progressions in use.   At that time I promised that we'd see them again and I'm here to keep that promise!  Lesson 45 gives us solos for the 7 8-bar sequences, utilizing runs, riffs, and scales.  And after analyzing each, we are to create two more 8-bar solos for each one.

I've created the TEF's with the rhythm parts from Lesson 23, and added my student contributions to make each TEF 24 measures long.   Just erase the last 16 measures of the Prime Exercises and write in your ideas.  After you do one, you'll be as much of an expert in creating these TEF's as any of us.

Did I forget to mention that Mickey wants us to transpose the Prime's to the other orchestra keys?  It almost goes without saying, doesn't it?  If you are a glutton for this stuff, you can add the guitar keys of D, A, and E.

Once again, there is quite a bit of work for a week, so I won't add to the burden of additional exercises.  Please share any of your creations that you are proud of!

Just keep it FUN!
