Learn how to internalize Bill Evans’ soloing language through targeted lines, voicings, and rhythmic devices with step‑by‑step exercises.
This lesson breaks down Bill Evans’ solo over “Two Lonely People,” analyzing his left‑hand voicings, target note strategy, pickup lines, and rhythmic feel. You’ll get concrete exercises for the first 16 bars, examples of voice‑leading and altered dominant approaches, and guidance on constructing your own target scaffolding and arpeggiated lines. Emphasis is placed on practical application—using guide‑tone voicings, triplet insertions, delayed upbeats, and voicing‑driven lines—so you can start playing in his style right away. Includes variations to transpose and adapt the concepts across keys.
