I still use it as a strategy for learning new tunes and when I am feeling "out of control".<br /><br />I'm looking forward to checking out your stuff more in depth!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Greg<br /><br />www.theearofthemind.blogspot.comGregory Dudzienskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923573709084439967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-73902355204216850812010-08-30T14:39:29.510-07:002010-08-30T14:39:29.510-07:00Hi Greg, You're right, it's definitely an ...Hi Greg, You're right, it's definitely an extension of Jerry's first book Melodic Structures (which is probably my favorite book out of his series).

I've been using the concept with my students at Berklee at they've been getting a lot out of the concept. I have them write out solos based upon the application of four note groupings which helps them get the four note grouping technique in their playing.
