cool !
Wille,
Before you watch this lesson, you may want to download and print the study materials for your instrument. [PDFs]
Where is this? I see the audio file downloads!
But not the PDFs.
Thanks,
Scott
Scott,
Directly above the lesson video you’ll see something that says C | Bb | Eb | Bass. Those are links to the study folders. Just click on whichever key you need and it will download your study folder. You’re the second person to have trouble with that one though, so I guess we need to mark them better.
thanks,
Andrew
still can’t find four horn combo charts i guess i am site challenged in my navigation skills. at one point i thought there was a pull up for combo charts can’t find it again
I’m assuming that you’re referring to the Play Along combo charts at the end of each lesson. They are writtne in 4 part harmony. altos/trumpets play top 2 parts, tenor, bones and bari play the 3rd-4th part. here’s a link to the Doo-Dit Blues in the Beginner Corner, Lesson. The Rhythm Parts are in the Jazz Pack, Beg Corner-Lesson 2
