He swings and folks it is gone another home run from our man Alex who never fails to keep us paying attention for his next up at bat! Great lesson as usual.
Wow, absolutely love this one. Had a guitar teacher, in the 70's was guitarist for a classic jazz orchestra. This reminds me of his style. Nice choice.
Love the early jazz music, lot of good stuff to diggest and practice in your lesson Alex. Excellent music recomendations. Thanks for all Alex! Good weekend to all!
Well, Mr Authenticity, you've done it again! I love the whole history of jazz guitar, but '20s-'30s chord melody is my favourite style to play, and you've just delivered its quintessence on a great jazz standard. "After You've Gone" has gotten loads of play, but its chords aren't always treated in this nuanced fashion. You never miss -- thanks, Alex! ... I love my Loar 700, too.
Ah thank you so much! I was hoping you'd enjoy this one! That early swing era is magical isn't it?! 🧡 Glad you're a fan of the Liar LH700 also! The best option I've seen for that L5 vibe 👌🏻
Another excellent 5-star video! You certainly timed this right, as I was just reading Peter Spitzer's excellent "Jazz Theory Handbook" in which he has a great 13-page bar-by-bar analysis of this classic tune. It's one of the best educational studies I've ever come across and taught me a lot.
@@AlexFarranGuitar I blame Louis Armstromg with his trumpet ! not really - it was a scandalous affair involving Napoleon, Adolphe Sax and the rivalry between brass instrument producers . Adolphe produced C brass for orchestra. and Bb for mililtary. After the civil war in america - discarded miliatry horns were picked up by blues and jazz musicians in a flat key - Im sure thats the origin . If the others hadnt tried to ruin Adophe the C brass woudldhave been standard -. So because of all of this - Jazz standards were written in flat keys. O me miserum - the source of my woe. I have a solution - i tune the giutar to D standard and play in G to get an F - ( lazy) . havent sorted out Eb and Bb yet ....
