9/19/13

Another switcheroonie. I'm back to the "riffon" theme (refer to 9/16/13 and before for reference). This time with visuals a la YouTube.Yesterday's entry is a one-off at this point. It posed too difficult a concept to deliver in a coherent way, even to musicians (which this mblog is really geared to).
This visual riffon idea still requires you to read music to follow along, and will especially appeal to experienced players of fake books. The tempos are set to get through one chorus of soloing in a minute, and are included. I've annotated pointers (so far) to mark the beginning of each line on the page. I'm working on even better ways to help the viewer see and understand what I'm doing (the process), as I take great liberties with over-the-bar-line timing and re-harmonisation.

Here's riffon If You Never Come To Me.



An improvisation one time through the form @ 128bpm. The first half is in the key of Eb Major, and the second half is in C Major as written. Last chord played to mark the top of the song.
