Backing Track: 'Summertime' chord progression.
Further Study:
Whilst watching the videos in this course I noticed a lot of similar rhythms in my solos. In addition the process of transcribing the lines was especially useful and it surprised me how often these rhythms would occur. I would recommend that you also write out your lines as it's a process that has given me lots to work on and I found it hugely useful.
