Sunny Yesterday my life was filled with rain Sunny You smiled at me and really eased the pain Now the dark days are gone, and the bright days are here My sunny one shines so sincere Sunny one so true, I love you Sunny Thank you for the sunshine bouquet Sunny Thank you for the love you brought my way You gave to me your all and all And now I feel ten feet tall Sunny one so true, I love you Sunny Thank you for the truth you let me see Sunny Thank you for the facts from A to Z My life was torn like wind-blown sand And a rock was formed when you held my hand (oh, sunny) Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny Thank you for the smile upon your face Hmm, sunny Thank you, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace You're my spark of nature's fire You're my…
Not necessarily all those changes of scales. If you analise the harmony well, you'll see that everything is mostly f major scale, since am7 is the 3 grade in the major tonality of F major and then we have the 2,5,1 and you could analise that bm7 being as a borrow chord from the minor tonality of f which appear a lot in jazz. Only in the Bm7(b5) E7, Bb7 and the last four measures where is bm7 E7 you cannot use F major scale. The rest is all f indeed. Good practicing !
@@juliansotelo3167 Right. It's a use of modal interchange between the minors in A. So you can use the F scale (A aeolian to be exact) but uses some cadence of the minor mode. Bm7b5 - E7 (b9) is clear borrow from the II-V of a minor (harmonic mode) and resolves on a Am7 instead a Ammaj7. So you can use a chromatic approach (bebop scale) to pass from Ab( maj7) to A. It's easy if you think it as a minor which can change the chords between minors harmonizations (A aeolian, A minor melodic, A minor harmonic) and you think it as "parallels flavors" in A minor sauce. This is a modal interchange.
@@sand69 Yeah! it is funny how you can find ways to solo in a song.'Cause for me, if I think in F with those changes that I said, it's easy for me to improvise.
You are actually 100 percent correct about that Bm7. A lot of jazz adaptations have Bm7-5 (i guess because it sounds way more jazzy that way) but the original has Bm7. Personally i find your adaptation most precise and comfortable to play along with.
Sunny, Yesterday my life was filled with rain. Sunny, You smiled at me and really eased the pain. The dark days are gone, And the bright days are here, My Sunny one shines so sincere. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, Thank you for the sunshine bouquet. Sunny, Thank you for the love you brought my way. You gave to me your all and all. Now I feel ten feet tall. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see. Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z. My life was torn like a windblown sand, And the rock was formed when we held hands. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny Sunny, Thank you for that smile upon your face. Sunny, Thank you for the gleam that glows with grace. You're my sparkle, nature's fire, You're my sweet complete desire. Sunny one so true, I love you. I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you
Awesome video, i tried learning this from Tomos channel but he plays so fast with 400 different chord inversions i have no idea whats going on haha great song!

@@karenfrye4546 Hi Karen - Flute is C instrument - and this song is in Am which is same as key of C as far as playing - no sharps or flats. So very easy to jam along with this this once you know basic tune in your head. I hope that helps.
A phrygian would work over this entire song except for the Bm7b5 e major where you would either play those arps or A Harmonic minor. Over the Bm7 to E the chord arpeggios could work ot even the bm7 arp would work. Then you at least have all the chord tones right there.
Just for fun, in the 13th measure, play Bm7/Bm7b5, then to the E7 holding the D note (second string, third fret) as a pedal tone through those three chords. I also like to end on an E7#9. I can't Eave well enough alone! ;-)
Hi would it be okay if I write lyrics for this? I'm not gonna use it for profit it's just for a school project and I'll make sure to give you credits :)/
For the first 2 bars.. The chords Am Gm C7 F∆(Fmaj7) are all in the key of Fmajor..So you can play Fmajor over those chords.. Coming to Bmin7b5(B with that circle beside it) and E7 you can play a B half whole diminished over them.. I'm no expert but I think they would sound alright
@@davidkelley3800 So basically, the guy is asking if playing Am6 and Gm6 instead of Am7 and Gm7 would be considered as a heresy. Then, the other one replies that it actually sounds good and fits well in the context. However, he still prefers Gm7 since it's easier to hear that it is a 2nd degree.
Yes, if I change slightly change the speed of the audio file and send it to you. Contact me here if you're interested : www.guitare-improvisation.com/participez_contact.php
Exactly. This version is more interesting and that modulation to Amaj is so beautiful. Advanced jazzer probably prefer this version and also know where to use melodic minor scales... ;-)
Not sure about B m7 b5 to E7 in measure 4? I tend to play B min11 to E7b5 - This produces smooth chromatic voice leading between B and E. Also if you just play the colour tones, E is the 4th/11th of B so it's a very suspended harmony which resolves smoothly and easily to E7 with just ONE NOTE (A - Ab)!!!
The Bm7 comes from the Boney M version (I love this chord beeing not m7b5). I don't think E7 is commonly played E7#11. Greg Howe plays E7#5 if I remember well.
@@guitareimprovisation There's lots of slight variations on the harmony. Bm7b5 and Bm11 are virtually identical, however when they resolve to E7, Bm7b5 takes two notes resolving down to do this, whereas Bm11 only changes ONE note so it sounds slightly more 'connected' E7 harmonically... Very nice backing track btw. Thanks for making it.
@@petel2952 to be fair it sounds like it's 2 tracks of the same chords in different positions complimenting each other...and on the "lead" chrods he throws in some hammer ons ect......so even if you get the chords it's nto gonna soudn exactly like it ... plus I honestly have no idea what a f triangle and a B with a line in the circle is....
Hi people! Can someone please explain me how to play those triangle and O's chords? I don't get it, and can't find any tutorial on internet Thx and have a nice day!
+Yann Oliver Hi ! These changes are a common readaptation of the original version, which contains less chords (and in the key of Ab). And by the way in the original version, that B chord is played m7 (Dm7 in the key of Ab). Not Dm7b5. So can you please tell me what leadsheet you're referring to ?
