Playing Outside - tutorial 1

In my early jazz playing I didn't quite get how to play outside, but I always liked the sound and always wanted to learn. So here's one way to do it:


Everything is pretty self-explanatory, download the notes and follow the instructions in the video.
I recommend playing it first slow, maybe half tempo, then dotted rhythm (long-short, then short-long), and after that trying to play in tempo.

You may download the music sheet as PDF, or in MuseScore format, so you can edit, transpose, transcribe and customize it to your own needs. Click the image to download the format you want:

   


I hope you enjoyed the video and you'll have fun playing the licks.
