Chromatic Drills - www.jazzeveryone.com

http://www.jazzeveryone.com strikes again! The Chromatic Drills are about a lot more than just building FINGER CHOPS. Playing them everyday is a sure-fire way to train your fingers to respond to the music you hear in your mind and try to play. Chromatics are the glue that ties the Pentatonic Pairs together into longer and more interesting lines. If you make these drills a part of your daily routine, youʼll soon find that a lot of the mistakes you always make disappear. Adjusting the chromatics in descending scales to fit any chord was a Charlie Parkerʼs trademarks. I canʼt promise that hours of practicing these Chromatic Drills will make you play like Bird. But hey, I can guarantee that youʼll be playing a lot better sooner than later.

Many times the only way I can play more fluidly is when I'm not thinking about the modes, My hands usually go there, But, That's on a good day, Not , All the time.

I bet you know Don Hahn, And my friend dtwn NYC, Herb Rothstien?

Thanks excellent lesson, Thumbs up.

Thank you for these lessons! I'm a university student studying music, but was previously self-taught in jazz, and am a bit behind compared to most of the other students that were able to afford private lessons. Your lessons are helping me fill in the gaps in my fundamental understanding of jazz that I wasn't able to grasp myself. I will be forever grateful to you, and will do my best to use this information to the best of my ability.

Thank you, Uncle Willie.
