In this lesson I focus on the last 4 altered notes of a dominant chord that resolves to the tonic. I have written out seven patterns that deal with seven different resolutions of dominant chords. Each pattern is takes around the circle of fifths. These resolutions are vital to being able to play and solo over bebop tunes and jazz in general. By learning these seven resolutions you will equip yourself with some sounds over the dominant chords that will make your solos sound hipper. i talk in depth about how to practice these patterns and also how to work them into your soloing. I demonstrate all the patterns on my tenor.

All the lessons here are worth at least the $10 some even much more.
However this lesson is Steve's biggest mistake. I have been working on it about two months now (1-10 min almost every day) and I'm on my second lick out of 7! This mean no further sales for Steve for about a year.

It's been taking time not because the material is that difficult but it's so usable and essential in jazz improvisation that it's fun to internalize the slow way.
The lick number one though me how to use the diminished chord over just about anything. Much more efficient than any diminished studies I've done earlier. I just just played the lick around all keys for a while and the dim chord soon started appearing in my solos.
Now I'm doing the lick 6 to really get that Dexter sound in. Dexter solos e.g. on Blue bossa and Lullaby of birdland are basically based on Steve's lick #6.

The thing that puts this lesson apart from others is that the licks are short so you get more repetition and they are always used in context because the lick moves around the circle. Also the "effective" part is only 2 beats so gets applied much more easily than some 4-bar II-V-I.
