Ideas for Your Practice
- Conquer the Modulations: The core of this tune is its constant key changes. Focus on the changes in the A section (Ab → C) and the second A section (Eb → G), and practice connecting your II-V-I phrases smoothly between them.
- Shed the Bridge: The E Major ii-V-I progression in the B section is a challenge for many players. Isolate these 8 bars and practice them on their own to build your confidence in unfamiliar keys.
- Use the Melody as Your Guide: When soloing, instead of just looking at the chords, try developing your ideas by creating variations of the beautiful original melody. All the answers for your solo are hidden within it.
