Nice lesson,, I've stolen some stuff from the Riccardo Scivales Tatum book too, but I don't think there are any tatum licks on my videos,, that I recorded just for fun ,,Thanks

@JazzKeyboardist1 Thanks, One other person told me there was a Tatum book out there.Believe it or not Joe Lester showed me about half of these runs more that 35 years ago.The other half I picked up through years of transcription work.However i have only learned a fraction of what he did,and your right-only for fun.

That was a terrifying "Out of Nowhere" at the end!

@Modes9 I normally don't play it that fast,had been drinking lots of coffee.Sounds a bit wild

Thank you so much for sharing this.

I meant "terrifying" in a good way. I'm 43, I've been playing guitar most of those years, my influences are Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth and Frank Gambale. All of that time spent with the Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns did not prepare me for your videos. I would be very nervous if you asked to sit in on Stella or Have You Met Miss Jones!
