New Lessons & Old Music

Christopher Schlegel Update 04-19-2011

Recently, I’ve been publishing a lot of jazz lessons.  I’ve published three tutorials covering the basics of extended harmony chords (7th, 9th, 11th, 13th):

And most recently I did another series on the style of Joe Pass!  Using, of course, my Joe Pass model Epiphone Emperor.  In this one I cover the basics of jazz lead lines.

I’ve also started another project.  I am taking my tunes from “Until”, an older CD that are already published (CDBaby, iTunes, Rhapsody, etc.) & making YouTube videos of them with scrolling lyrics.  Some of these tunes we once sent to singers, arists, publishers with the intention of having them recorded by other artists (for example, people that are better singers than me) and me making money from the publishing. 

But, of course, no one wanted to do my music.  So, as usual, I did it all myself.  My idea is to offer them for free listening to see if I can spark any further traffic or new interest for them.  The first one is up and running here:
