I decided to offer a free video lesson on my book “Approach Note Velocity Volume 1 & 2” for everyone. I have sold many of these books over the years and really want to make sure that everyone is getting the most out of them that they can. You can consider this an “overview” lesson on the book. (This is a new lesson and different than the Overview lesson found in the member’s area) I cover topics such as:
- What approach notes are
- Why they sound good
- How to practice them
- How to use them
- Demonstrating different lines over a standard
- How to get the most out of the book
When I started recording the lesson I had the intention to make it a quick lesson………but wouldn’t you know that once I got into it and started teaching it turned into a 27 minute lesson…………….You will need my Approach Note Velocity Volume 1 & 2 to get the most out of this video lesson. (PDF Versions to download or the printed version)
I demonstrate using the material over “There is No Greater Love” and a standard ii7-V7-I-VI7 progression so you can hear how to use the lines in context……….

And here’s a live clip where I’m using some of the Approach Note Patterns on a pop solo:
