What's so cool about my lead sheet?
1. One page (featuring essential musical information.)
2. In key C, analyzing jazz standards with Roman Numerals isn’t new or ground-breaking, but it’s an important one for understanding how the harmony within a tune works. Do you want to learn Jazz or write cool music by learning different progression? Start to analyse all songs in C.
3. Works well in a band: Everyone in the band might work from the same lead sheet. The lead guitarist may play the melody or improvise, the keyboard player will comp chords, the drummer will play beats and fills, and the bass player will create a bass line. In some situations, transposed lead sheets are provided for transposing instruments, but more commonly, everyone receives the same lead sheet.
4. Free in 12 keys: frequently practicing this will get you familiar with your instrument and be free in 12 keys, that will help you improvise your intro/outre/verses or come up with short phrases freely. This contains the essential 2 5 1 in all keys.
