Here are samples of songs that I have voiced using David Sudnow's color tone rules.
 
My journey with The Sudnow Method began in January 2006. The excitement continues.

Here is a link to the Sudnow website for more information.

Starting with my 7/12/08 listing of "Where or When", I am looking at a fakebook as I play. I am figuring out what to play on-the-fly using Sudnow's approach. Starting with "Where or When", I am no longer memorizing songs like I did with the songs posted above.  One of the goals of The Sudnow Method is to be able to play from a fakebook using full, lush sounding voicings of chords. The final goal of the course is to play by ear.
