Lesson 46 TEF's

Notes to Lesson 46

Lesson 46 is the continuance of the solos for the chord sequences of Lesson 23.  This time we're working on Exercises 8, 9, 10, and 11 which are 16-bars each.  As in Lesson 45, we are to write 2 new solos for each exercise.

Yep, you guessed it:  transpose the Prime's to the other orchestra keys.   If you get through this faster than you thought, think about adding the guitar keys of D, A, and E.

Throughout this course I've mentioned when Mickey's used harmonies that are familiar.  Exercise 9 uses the chord progression of "How High The Moon".  As a fun project as my 2nd 16 measures, I transcribed one of Chet Atkins' solos from his recording from the RCA LP  "Yestergroovin'".  Chet has copied some of Les Paul's famous licks from his original recording.  So I copied Chet.

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!
