Dive into the solos and standards.
Bar by bar, until you can play them.

The Laboratory is where I take real solos and standards apart and rebuild them into things you can actually use. Parker, Powell and Potter, nine standards, each one in its own lab.

I'm preparing a special launch. Look around, and if it pulls you in, get on the list: you'll get the first invitation.

Samples from the room

A few things from inside.

Real lessons, real notation, real screens from the platform. Play the videos.

Daniel playing Cherokee at 300 — One minute at tempo. The lab starts one position at a time, so the bridge becomes playable.

Airegin bars 9 to 16: four major sevenths walking down by half step — Four major sevenths walking down by half step. Once you see it, the line makes sense.

Chris Potter's Airegin solo, bars 9 to 12, notation and TAB — Bars 9 to 12 of Potter's line. The lesson plays the solo at tempo with the notation running underneath.

Tune labs inside the platform: Autumn Leaves, Solar, Cherokee, Spain — Four of the nine tune labs. Each has its own form, changes and tempo. Pick one and stay with it for a couple of weeks.

Chapter markers inside a live session: what happens, and when — Eleven live sessions, unedited, with 187 marked moments, so one tap drops you inside the topic.
