Is Your Solo a Pizza or a Pepperoni Roll?

My life's become a never-ending cycle of kiddie birthday parties with my son, Harrison. Can't we just throw one big one and be done with it?

In the middle of all this cake-fueled chaos, there's Jesse. The poor kid can't eat the cake or pizza because he's allergic to eggs. He's stuck munching on carrot sticks while the rest of the kids are in a sugar coma.

Then there's my Harrison. Healthier than a horse, not a single allergy. And does he take advantage of it?

Nope.

Instead, he decides to be the one kid who doesn't eat pizza.

But get this – he'll wolf down a pepperoni roll like there's no tomorrow. And before you ask, yes, I've told him a million times:

A pepperoni roll is just a slice of pizza in disguise.

Reminds me of how some musicians try to improvise with chord tones. They understand it's an essential part of soloing, and they’re familiar with the roots, thirds, fifths, and sevenths – all the ingredients needed to whip up a gourmet pepperoni roll of a solo.

But still, these wannabe improvisers slap together a regular, boring-ass pizza solo. Playing with the same pieces but serving a completely different dish.

If that sounds like you…if you, too, know the importance of improvising using chord tones but struggle to sound good while doing so, then you need to check out my course, Chord Tone Magic, which includes 10 chord tone etudes over popular jazz standards.

Yes, only chord tones, and they still sound damn good.

In Chord Tone Magic, I’m not just showing you the ingredients; I'm teaching you how to make a chord-tone solo actually taste sound like a pro-level performance.

Order now, and I'm throwing in not just one, but two bonus etudes: St. Thomas and Blue Bossa.

And if that wasn’t enough, I’m also including exclusive, in-depth video walkthroughs of the etudes. These aren't your standard tutorials; we're talking deep dives into every chord, every note, every creative decision.

It's like a masterclass in soloing and composition on steroids, jam-packed with pro-level tips and tricks that'll help you whip up a killer solo using just 3 to 4 chord tones at your disposal.

Get ready to transform those plain old pizza solos into mouth-watering pepperoni roll performances (a sentence I never thought I’d write). This kind of inside look can make all the difference in your playing – so order now to get all the bonus content.

Make the most of the same ingredients and dish up something truly extraordinary.
