Here is the new submission of Ralph Towner tune "Summer's End". 4 choruses: Melody / Chords / Solo / Final Melody. In the solo I tried to make some variations of the beautiful melody, although I'm not entirely satisfied with the result. In the end I lose the thread a bit and the tempo. The next step would be to do shell voicings instead of chords. And maybe try to do a chord melody, mixing melody and shell voicings, so that there is more variation. This, while I'm practicing Shiny (Glabraith) which is really hard for me.

You may have noticed the new name, new look, same URL address. Here's what's happening. Starting August 1, everything I've built since 2012 consolidates into this one place. No more separate programs, tiers, memberships or courses living on different platforms. One academy. And you're already in it :) What this means for you: 🔓 *The full classroom is now open* All 30-something courses. Every standard, every deep dive, the complete archives. Unlocked for everyone in here. Go look. It's all there. 📅 *Live calls, every week (continued)* Saturday 9 AM ET with me: our regular office hours, Q&A, jam, whatever-session. Plus Wednesday workshops with Coach, on rotating topics. 8 live calls a month. 🎯 *One clear path* Start (or re-start) with the Pinnacle philosophy, build the Foundations, then stack repertoire and vocabulary, tune by tune. The mountain is big - we chip away at it together. *What does NOT change*: Your access, your rate, your community. If you have any questions about your membership or billing, just email [email protected] and we'll take care of you personally. This is the Skool I always wanted to run. Simple, upfront, everything included, nothing held back. See you Saturday at 9. Bring your guitar, your questions ...and your game face! 🎸 — Marc PS one more thing, and it's a fun one. 🎁 The Academy now has an affiliate program: if you know someone who'd love it here -- a guitar buddy, a bandmate, that friend who keeps saying they want to learn jazz, then share your affiliate link. When they join, you earn 40% recurring commission for as long as they're a member. Do the math: refer a few friends, and your own membership might wind up costing you nothing :) Spread the word -- the room only gets better with more players in it.

Please give a warm Jazz Guitar Accelerator welcome to @Eugénio Almeida, living in Germany (from Portugal) 🎸
