(Dys) FunKtional Technical Study #1 (NEW!!)
New Download + Loops: (Dys) FunKtional Technical Study #1 is a groovy and slightly twisted advanced chromatic study in the tradition of the great master Herbert L. Clarke, but only if Clarke didn’t HATE jazz and decided to produce a series of funky Afro-Latin Loops in 12 Keys, each with 3 varied tempos.
The Loops are great for practicing almost any other type of Chromatic exercises as well as tonal ones, so we included one of our favorite basic Chromatic Training Technical Studies as a free bonus. Hang on to these tracks as we will be releasing many more studies that can be practiced with the loops. The last page of the study really explores the patterns into the upper register and in doing so, becomes a Double Extra Credit Upper Register Super Hero Bonus Pack! (Chops not included).

Functional Jazz Technical Study #1
Picture if you will, a series of studies that offer all the benefits of Clarke’s famous Technical Study #2, written over the chord progression of George Gershwin’s famous “I Got Rhythm” and without all the soul-crushing diatonic boredom. Imagine then, that these studies could double as an entré into the creative world of improvisation and the sacred geometry of the Bebop language. If you can do all this, you have a better imagination than we do.
That said, if you would like something fun and cool to practice, this might be your new favorite digital download! This study is specifically written to be practiced with our new series of Rhythm Section Play Along tracks in all 12 keys, each at two contrasting tempos (sold as a separate download).
