This video is a compilation of ten short excerpts ("licks") for study, in various styles, for the intermediate to advanced piano student. The PDF with detailed commentary is available from www.j3po.net
It’s important to note that these “licks of the day” are just snapshots of musical language. In no way are these musical ideas intended to be simply regurgitated or “inserted” into any solo or musical context on their own. Rather, it’s necessary to digest how these little excerpts are constructed. The best way to do that is to analyze these phrases and learn them in all 12 keys. This way, you understand the construction and concept of these phrases and it will inform and expand the ideas in your own playing and improvisation.
