ExamplE5 rhythm changes bridge dominant lines

Here we see some of the Charlie Parker influence as Louis takes us on a whistle-stop tour of d7-G7-C7-F7, the commonly used sequence of resolving 7ths that you find in the chord sequence for i Got rhythm and any of the thousands of standards that borrow this progression as their harmonic base. Take care to follow all of the hammer-on/pull-off slurs as this will help with the rapid tempo and also get you one step closer to matching the swinging bounce of stewart’s playing.
