I had a teacher who used to teach tunes by using the following routine. Great way to approach
practicing like this: 1st chorus: Play melody. 2nd: Arpeggios 8th notes. (1 chord/bar) 1357, 9753. (2
chords/bar) 1357, 1357. 3rd: Scales 8th notes: (1 chord/bar) 12345678. (2 chords/bar) 1235. (12-35,
or 1-345) 4th: Solo 5th: Play melody out. If you apply this to a rhythm section instrument, you can
throw in one chorus of your appropriate rhythm section function as well: comp, baseline, etc. You
can also expand on this concept by doing a ii-V lick instead of arpeggios, or starting the arpeggios
and scales at the top of the chord and descending. Sticking to this routine is harder than it appears.
Good luck.

"Sticking to this routine is harder than it appears" —Absolutely correct. It's a great way to shed
tunes.
