Hello Friends,
This week your lesson is to learn how to play "All I Do is Dream of You" with the track. Here's what you need to do: You can start by playing the intro then rhythm during the head. After the head it's your chorus to solo then after one chorus of you soloing we trade 4 bar segments back and fourth. I start and we trade 4s through the next chorus. Then it's your turn to play the melody to finish out the song repeating the first half of the intro to end it. I'm truly looking forward to hearing all of you so play along with this video and once you're comfortable with it, film one and post it please. Don't worry or be nervous about. Just practice a bit before recording and show me what you got!
Good luck and enjoy!
Duke
Special Note: we also posted a video you can download (solo and trading 4's) if you want to make a video of you playing with Duke!

Hi Duke,
Hi Bruce, I enjoyed your track of All I Do is Dream of You. Good work, especially liked your Pennies from Heaven! Duke
Thanks Duke! Much appreciated!
Hey Duke! Here's my take on this. This really is a fun tune to play! Thanks for the great lesson!
Hey Matthew, Really nice! I love how you pause between thoughts. That's what real improvising is all about. Taking your time and telling a story. Nice technique and flow to your playing. I also stumbled a few of you piano examples. Really nice! You've got it going on young man!:
Marty, You sound really great and definately have the right idea. And good tone also. My only critique is that you got a bit ahead in feel. I know I played it a bit slower than my recording so I blame myself for that, but try relaxing the feel just a little to get more inside the groove. But really good playing! Duke
Hi Duke,
Hi Marty, For some reason your video is not up at this time. Not sure why but I'd love to see it! Duke
Hi Duke!

Wow, fabulous playing Matthew! Very cool stuff.
I am really looking forward to hearing you all playing along with us this week so let get to work on the videos!
