This is me playing the introduction of Don't Know Why. It was an easy part to play, but I forgot several of the notes. I improvised a bit as well, in order to put my own spin on the song. I think right now it sounds bland because there is no backing. I think I should also improve on my tone and articulation, in order to give a more soulful performance. Perhaps the improvisation should also be more inspired.
This is me playing the bridge of Don't Know Why. I think I did this better than the intro, as I hit most of the notes right. I also found a good set of notes to play as improvisation. The rapid sequence of notes is very good as an ending to the bridge. I think that if I play it well, it will also improve the songs in general. I have to work on it more though, as I nearly missed a note.
Hi Dio,
ReplyDeleteThis is good progress on you playing a modern jazz song starting from chord then the melody and its improvisation...however you need to learn also songs chosen from the booklet given to you...as we will assess you with your friend playing songs from that booklet.
