I've spent weeks of my time following other YT channels studying jazz. Sandra's IS the best. Very well organized with every number I'm interested in, many with solos. Thank u for such accurate translations from horns to guitar. Studying the masters is so helpful, and all the hard work is done already. I promise to send $ when I am able Sandra. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
Wow wow wow! Thank you so much for putting this up! I love Kenny and this is one of my favorites by him! You're a great teacher and we all love you for it! Keep it up!
I love your sense of humor, Sandra. I'm so grateful (Danke!) for your complete (and slow) breakdown of Jazz songs. I've struggle for years and now I'm getting somewhere, thanks to you! Good thoughts and wishes from Colorado, USA.
Otra espléndida lección de la intro del gran tema de Kenny Burrell, mi guitarrista favorito y que me había extrañado que no citaras entre tus preferidos, para mi el mejor baladista y sobre todo intérprete de Jazz Blues de los últimos 50 años. Ese tema junto con Chitlins con Carne fueron los primeros que aprendí de Kenny. Muchas gracias Sandra!!!. Un tema que te sugiero de uno de tus preferidos : Django Reinhardt, puede ser...Manoir de mes reves, extraordinaria balada.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Sadly he’s had life struggles and was unable to live off his music legacy. I hope things have changed for him. He is truly an excellent musician.
Thanks Sandra for another great lesson. I had learned a version of Midnight Blue from other RU-vid videos, but your version is far better. Much appreciated, Jim from Scotland.
What a great tune Sandra. I nailed this one quick because I love it. I use it as a warn up routine now. And it keeps my memory going for a aging guitar player that does not want to loose any notes along the way. I need to listen to more of Kenny Burrell records. Thanks, Jerry
Wow. ! I made it to 2:10 then back to 1:25 and back and forth about 8 times...and am playing it now....I guess it's time to watch the rest of the video! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much ❤️. That's a great time, I love it. I like the contrast of the two sections, always fun to go from a bluesy head to those pure jazz chord melody.
I have all your mini lessons written down . Now my new mission started last December which is watch every single video of yours and write down in order to make sure I don’t miss any lesson but I’m picking the comping, the theory, jazz blues and so on and leaving the chord melody for last because is more challenging for me. I’ve never been so consistent I’m my life . But what I’m learning with your lessons is a great school of jazz that I could never afford to pay ❤
Wow, you're atrue diligwnt jazz bee 🐝! You have set your goals and priorities straight and I want to congratulate you on your discipline and dedication. Bravo, Roberto 👏!
LOVE IT Sandra !!!, i was listening to this very track earlier today, with a mix of similar tunes i put together, thinking to myself, i wish Sandra would give us her versions of these. i am buying the tabs and backing track even though im not ready yet (still on "in a sentimental mood"). i have some friends in Australia so i will arrange a delivery of kangaroos for you (would 6 or 7 do?) i look forward to seeing them hopping about in the background next thursday.
Hahaha, would love me some kangaroos 😂. Now you have. something to look forward for after you have finished In A Sentimental Mood. Keeps you motivated 😊
Another amazing arrangement! This will be the third song I download plus will download previous ones you have arranged! Maybe someday just maybe someday when I'm good enough to play in café/pubs here, my repertoire will be all your arrangements! I am calculating maybe in 2-3 years of serious practice. A lot of small cafes and pubs here where I live. Cheers Sandra!!!
Great lesson, I just recently decided to incorporate Midnight Blue into my set list. This is gold, an excellent starting point with lots of room to move. Thank You...!
Wow, I see this comment now, after 2 years. because you became a member, all your unanswered comments are shown to me. I don't even see alot of normal comments. I don't know why.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman LOL, I don't need any acknowledgement, I'm just trying to give support for all you do. It's nice to know you can see it now... Thank You!
So my wife looks at me when I sat down to play this and says,"Rich that's Billy Jean by Micheal Jackson". To which I hit my looper and began the single notes, "no it's not." To which she moonwalked right out of the room. Sometimes actions are worth a thousand words.
@@ralex3697I didn't hear that until you mentioned it. This is (Midnight Blue) one of my all-time favorite albums. An oldie but goldie. I don't think you'd have heard that on the album. (Now you will, and so will I. Can't unhear it now. 😂)
Sandra, Great video. May I make a suggestion on the fingering. Play the theme in the 1st position. It makes the fingering easier. Also, I saw Kenny Burrell on different gigs in the 60s and he played it in the 1st position. Not to be critical of your playing at all. I love your videos.
Sandra, perfect lesson as ever, but... what happens after the theme? How are the chords & comping on the solo or solo's? Do we stick to the 16 bar form and the chords on the B section, or is it more like the intro (just the groove) and then go back to the theme/form on que?
Well done! Im trying to learn this song, but even the opening chords are hard to play. I have short fingers, and its hard to bend my fingers curved position. And i keep making buzzing sounds, because fingers hitting other strings.. Sorry my bad english.
Crazy stuff, Sandra! What makes him using these intervalls in the last part: Ab-Gb-Fm... Bb-Ab-G7b5 (you play the last over C7#9#5) - seems to me some kind of changes over Ab-melodic minor and Gb-melodic minor?
It's not as crazy as it seems 😊. He changes from Fm to its parallel major key Ab. The Gb13 is just the routine substitute for C7alt, which breads back to Fm. The Fm7 and Bb7 are a II V. The second half of the bridge starts on the II of Ab major, the Bbm, then he as a modal interchange to Ab minor and returns to a ii V (Gø C7alt) in the m key of Fm. The only strange thing is the Abm chord really. And it's not that strange, considering it's just a change in tonality from major to minor.
sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Benton Darren i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you! This would segue nicely into Serenade to a Cuckoo by Rashaan Roland Kirk as recorded by the bluesy first incarnation of Jethro Tull on their debut, This Was... That'd be another great lesson - thanks again!!
