Hey Everyone-
Here's a little video about my lesson series. I'll follow it with a post about my newest lesson and keep going from there as i come up with new ones. I hope you'll keep my lessons in mind if you're looking to supplement your current private instruction or if you're just looking to study online. This can be really helpful if you're in an area where it's difficult to find a jazz instructor. Check out the samples as they come along and visit my site. I've got tons of lessons and samples posted on the Jazz Improv Lessons page.
Thanks!
Randy Hunter

I wanted to let everyone know I've added a new lesson in my Soloing on Tunes series. In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a toe tapping, hand clapping, knee slapping solo that swings on chord changes to the standard, "But Not For Me." Check out the sample and visit http://beginningsax.com/Jazz Improv Lessons.htm if you're interested in more info on my lessons or to purchase the complete version of this one.

I just posted a new lesson called Metronome Obsession: Practicing in Time. It's available as an individual lesson or and as part of my Stage II lesson series. In this lesson, I'll show you some of my favorite practice techniques for breaking free of the intimidation and confusion often associated with the metronome, as we work to build your technique and internal sense of time, tempo, and rhythm.

Thanks! Got more in the works. It takes quite a while to put the lessons together. I've got one more rhythm section track recorded for another Soloing on Tunes lessons, then I'm planning on taking my rhythm section back in to the studio to put together another set of tracks. Let me know if you have any tune requests. I can't promise I'll get to all of the requests I get, but it gives me a list to work from.I have bought the 'Soloing on Tunes.....' lessons and find these really useful as well as fun to play. Looking forward to some more please.
Randy

Thanks!

I've had lots of requests for a lesson on Misty, so I had my rhythm section put together a play-along track recently- and it kills!
I've changed the lesson format on this one to include 4 instructional videos, a demonstration video, the play-along track, and of course a PDF with all the instruction, exercises, and examples included for tenor sax, alto sax, and concert pitch instruments.
Video topics include:
-Chord progression theory
-The basic vocabulary
-Phrasing and soloing
-Advanced soloing concepts
The lesson is available at: www.beginningsax.com/Jazz Improv Lessons.htm
I hope you'll check it out!

Thanks Lesacks!I'd like to give a thumbs up to Randy's backing/rhythm section.
I'm (finally) reaching the stage where I can properly listen to and play with them - and there is real interest there as well.
The pianist is Gary Motley- head of jazz studies at Emory University where I teach. The bassist, Chris Riggenbach, is also on the jazz faculty there. The drummer, Robert Boone, is a young guy here in Atlanta that recently completed a tour of Japan with the Count Basie Band. Top quality cats!
Thanks so much, Keith! I hope you're doing well. You're familiar with my approach to practicing time and sound, so the compliment is appreciated even more!Your tone and inflection and time are great. Super playing K

Randy, thx; I've watched your youtube videos the past few months and they're well-done & helpful, esp the tips & tricks ones - kudos!
Thanks Graphicguy! I'll be posting a new Licks, Tips, & Tricks video on the thread tomorrow called The Funk Scale. I hope you dig it!
Randy
Here's a free lesson I actually posted last year, but I though some of you might enjoy spending a brief portion of your Christmas Eve playing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Drop me a note if you'd like the PDF (no charge).
Merry Christmas!

Just a quick note to let everyone know I've added a new lesson in my Soloing on Tunes series. Soloing on Scrapple From the Apple is an extensive dual purpose lesson. This one has 4 instructional videos, written instruction, and a great play-along track recorded by my rhythm section colleagues at Emory University. Topics cover the theory behind the chord progression, bebop scales, auxiliary tones, chromatic enclosures, and double-timing.
