This "mini" lesson centers on a rubato ("free time") intro for John Trane's classic "Mister P.C." minor swing blues. The presentation mixes strong blues and jazz licks over four chords: Cm7, Fm9, Dm7b5 and G7#9, all highly relevant to the tune. This sets the stage for the head and several solo choruses, all of which are slated for transcription in the near future.

To hear the mp3 lesson audio with vocal narrative, click here. To hear the full recording with the melody and guitar solo, click here.

Last but not least, to view and to download the complete intro chart including explanatory text in standard notation and tab, click here. Enjoy!

Great mini lesson, Mark! Love the sweet sound of that Fm9th followed by the Dm7(b5). The "Lesson Notes" in the PDF add so much to the notation. Those tips really helped a lot! Look forward to seeing a transcription of this solo.

A cool progression indeed. So now we can add Im7-IVm9-IIm7b5-V7alt to our arsenal.

Barbara (& Larry),

Thanks to both of you for your comments regarding the new lesson. I was attempting to be informative in as concise a manner as possible with the lesson notes on the chart, so it's good to hear that the tips were helpful. All for now...
