Thanks for your written solos.=20
I have my students sing the solos away from a piano so they learn some=
phrase construction devices from them.
I have a question about the chords on Embraceable You.
In a 'jam session' situation I would expect something like this:

| G | Bbo | Am7 | D7 | Am7 | F7 | Gmaj7| F#=F8 B7 |

| Em Em(maj7) | Em7 F#7 | Bm | Em A7|

| Dmaj 7 D#o | Em A7 | Am | D7 |

| G | Bbo | Am7 | D7 | Am7 | F7 | Gmaj7| Dm7 G7|

// / /
|Cmaj 7 | F#=F8 B7 | Em Em (maj7) Em7 | A7|

G maj 7 | Cm7 F7 | Gmaj7 | am7 D7|

Or something along those lines.

I cannot remember where I learned these changes from but they seem to work.
Any sugestions or substitutions out there?
