🎵Today's lesson covers chords to the jazz standard 'Summertime'. A song that some jazzers turn their nose up to, as if it's too popular to play! I think it's a timeless song and a very accessible song at that. Gershwin's song is widely known and there are many great versions. As a result everyone seems to have their own way of playing it (myself included). I thought it would be helpful to show you 3 ways to play it with some nice variations for you to pick and choose what you like the sound of. Playing standards with others will always reveal discrepancies between the chords. It's subjective what's the right version - they are just different. Don't forget you can get a PDF of the chord changes from my website.
In today's lesson I cover:
🔴 the chord shapes you need to play Summertime
🔴3 different ways, with increasing levels of difficulty
🔴Examples of how inversions and the odd tri-tone sub can make all the difference

THIS is how an instructional video should be. Thank you for the amazing video.

@jazzguitarwithandy 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you liked the lesson 🙏

Best insight into jazz I’ve seen thanks so much! For me at the moment 1. Maybe my jazz ear is just at the beginning..

@jazzguitarwithandy 21 день назад

Thanks for the comment, good luck on the journey!

As a new jazz explorer, these vids are super helpful. Learning jazz is like learning a new language, where a student benefits from both immersion and grammar lessons. You provide both here. I can hear it, I can play it, I can feel it and bit by bit I understand more about the grammar: chord structure and relationships, leading tones, why certain transitions work and more. Thank you!

@jazzguitarwithandy Год назад

Glad you like the approach. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🎸

@akfisher7138 Год назад

really enjoyed the explanation as much as the sound of three interpretations. Really helpful pointing out non-essential or substitutions...

@jazzguitarwithandy Год назад

Thanks - it can be hard to know what the basics of song are sometimes.

@fnl62fnl62 Год назад

Great. I just have to figure out how to fit in to the melody. Humming it would be very helpful.

@jazzguitarwithandy Год назад

That sounds like a good plan

Thank you! Cheers!

@jerrymacklow1452 Год назад

Informative. I have played this two different ways, both different to the ones you describe. I shall play with some of your ideas and come up with a couple more.

Cheers Jerry

@williamreaves3780 Год назад

Thank you Andy. I believe I can learn a number of things about Jazz from you. I like slower Jazz too. Your chord tones are beautiful, and showing the notes really, really helps. Peace

@jazzguitarwithandy Год назад

You're very welcome William.

@LeandroYaku Год назад

Muchisimas gracias por facilitarme estas variaciones, buen trabajo!

@jazzguitarwithandy Год назад

You're very welcome :)

@GeoffonTour Год назад

Great lesson, thanks. I like the 6 chords in the first two versions reminds me of the strings on the Ella Fitzgerald version

@jazzguitarwithandy Год назад

That was very much the inspiration :)

@stufromoz8164 3 года назад

Love that tele, I have a bit of a soft spot for tele's I find there bare bone structure very appealing somehow, I don't know why I ended up with one sort of accidently and over time fell in love with there versatility.

Glad you enjoyed it Tim!

@VitalBigras 2 года назад

Thank You for the pdf and this nice lesson! I will start with the version 1 but I will also explore the version 3 later on.

@jazzguitarwithandy 2 года назад

Yes, good to get the first one down first and then in the end you can mix and match if you like.

@steveskidmore849 4 года назад

Love the third version 👍

Thanks Jimmy!

@gerichtpresteren 7 месяцев назад

Andy, thanks for this three ways tot play, How to play with Barry Harris chords; in the scale of Am6 diminished scale? and also with the pentatatonic scale?

@jazzguitarwithandy 7 месяцев назад

You're welcome. What's your questions about the Am6 scale?

@jamessidney2851 2 года назад

Hey Andy. That was a cool way to demonstrate for students how chord progressions can start simple, then be developed, and still stay (mostly) in the key. You taught me a few little details of this common tune I never considered before. I have two thoughts to share. The 1-5 vamp can also be seen as a minor chord just moving up and down a whole step. You can think of it that way on the 4 chord too. It’s a common way to simplify. Joe Pass will just move the exact same minor 6 chord voicing up and down two frets while he comps on summertime! Good to know it’s actually an inversion of the V but I find thinking of it as iI-7 gives me a little more juice, especially when I start play lines on it. Also, watch out with your comping feel on version 3. The faux bossa thing makes it sound dangerously close to Black Orpheus, which uses the exact same first 2 bars of harmony, not to mention all those same chords you borrowed for the major 1 6 2 5 reharm. Your channel is popping. Keep up the good work!

@jazzguitarwithandy 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing James. Yes, I see what you mean about moving up the minor 6 up and down a tone. Nice way to think about it. I agree about how something sounding close to another tune can be dangerous. It can be so easy to loose yourself and slip into the other tune when soloing. Thanks re the channel, it’s slowly growing and I’m getting clearer about how I want to do things.

@slick51 Год назад

Number two, for me.

@JosephusDalrymple 4 года назад

Thanks for explaining this so well.

@jazzguitarwithandy 4 года назад

You're welcome Joe.

@sambac2053 2 года назад

Very nice that you get the minor 6s ,this is very often played,and taught wrong.

@jazzguitarwithandy 2 года назад

I like it with the minor 6. I think it can be done with plain minor or minor 7, but it is a departure from the feeling of the original.

@lacrapcutata 3 года назад

Very nice lesson, Andy! Please make more videos! :D

@jazzguitarwithandy 3 года назад

Thanks Richardo. Don't worry, 2 videos coming every week :)

@ashishashen 4 года назад

Really nice lesson, Andy. Learnt a lot. I found the chord shapes in the 2nd version more difficult than the rest. But version 3 has a lot More jazz going on for sure. Thanks!

@jazzguitarwithandy 4 года назад

Thanks for watching. I find it fascinating how these old songs can be played in so many ways! Maybe move the harder shapes to somewhere more comfortable on the neck?

@ashishashen 4 года назад

Jazz guitar with Andy yup that’s what I’m figuring out right now 🙏

@seasider2164 3 года назад

Hi, great lesson thanks. Just one thing, on your pdf charts you are showing the Am/C on the 8th rather than the 7th fret. The Root A is on the 7th , C bass 8th.

@jazzguitarwithandy 3 года назад

Thanks for spotting that! I've just corrected it on the chart for the download.

@dangardiner2011 10 месяцев назад

I must be learning..I played that sharp chord fifty times, and was sure it was wrong!@@dfasht1304

@orangeiceice12 2 года назад

I only learned version 2, because it seems the hardest, and if I learn all three it'll confuse the shit out of me unless I spend a good amount of time on it. Sick fingerings. So smoky.

@jazzguitarwithandy 2 года назад

Sounds sensible James. I like the 2nd way the best too.

@jazzguitarwithandy 4 года назад

Don't forget to grab the PDF/ Chart from my website: www.jazzguitarwithandy.com/standards Please note there's an error on the Am/C when I run through the chords on the chord chart. I accidentally wrote it a fret too high. It's correct on the download link -Andy
