Good stuff Dave, great melodic themes and development as opposed to regurgitating licks. Really like it bro.

cool,,,,, during happy hour, i try to force myself to play, giant steps and cherokee in all 12 keys from the aebersold charts too,,, me playing bass with a drum track,, and yes I know,,,, wind insruments are a bitch compared with just playing keys,,lol

[Dave Chisholm]

ha! i only have to worry about one note at a time, though! i think every instrument is hard...i could literally never do what brad mehldau does on the trumpet, you know? thanks for listening!

Now comp. Just joking, very nice man. I am having the toughest time doing this. I've actually thought about writting down the changes in all 12 keys. Should I? thanks for the feedback. Great job! hopefully in a year I'll have it down as well

hi thanks,,, you sound great,, after playing giant steps in 12 keys,,,easy songs make you feel like you have just been let out of prison,,lol,,my favorite silly youtube video now is snl you can do anything, with daniel radcliffe,,, but they do not make fun of youtube critics because that would be making fun of everyone that thinks they are a great critic,lol

[SRV1]
