Assignment Overview
Your assignment for this lesson, as it was for Giovannutti, is as follows:
Step 1: Explore Stefan Grappelli's Recordings
- Go out and gather a variety of recordings of Stefan Grappelli, preferably from different periods of his career.
- Note: His playing evolved significantly over the years.
Step 2: Recognize and Learn Riffs
- Listen for and try to recognize some of the riffs that I've shown you.
- Aim to learn a few of your own riffs.
Step 3: Practice with Backing Tracks
- Practice these riffs over the backing for Swing Parisienne.
Step 4: Discover Standard Tunes
- Look for as many tunes that are standards from the hot club style, including:
- Lady Be Good

Once you've gathered and practiced these tunes, you'll be able to play them with other musicians!
