By far, the best lessons we can ask for. Always there when we look for a song to learn. Always simple arrangements and techniques so we go throught it without getting discouraged.
Great tune - and thanks for your wonderful smiling, positive presentation (needed that this week). I remember when I watched Pat Martino burning on this - mind blowing. Stay safe👍.
Greeeeeetings from France's fan. I still cannot understand why you haven't as much likes as subscribers. Thank you so much for your work,your enthusiasm, keep feeding us with your Jazz, Groove and Harmony lessons.
Howdy from Texas! I love your extra jazzy interpretation of this tune. Ive seen played 10 different ways and this is my favorite. Thanks for your work, good job. I bought the sheet pdf.
Immer wieder 1000Dank, auch wenn es jedesmal ein hartes Stück Arbeit ist und ich mir die Stücke nur sehr langsam und "bröckchenweise" draufschaffen kann. Aber das tut dem Spaß keinen Abbruch. Ich liebe deine Chord-Melody Sachen aber insgeheim hoffe ich immer wieder auf feine Comping-Lessons . Ich würde auf die Knie fallen, wenn du dich zu Mas que nada oder Sway hinreissen lassen könntest. Beste Grüße
Very Nice! I used to play this song but stopped because I never really found a chord melody I was happy with. This is much more what I was envisioning, Thank You...! B-)
Glad you like it! You probably know my chords melody rotorua and the chord solo. This here is the best starting point though. Bauxite chords and rhythm first, then soloing and chord melody.
Sandra! I have just discovered you and your wonderful channel! I have already learned much from the first few videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us! On top of that, you’re charming!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman don't know how to get the backing tracks u said avail on d link..but tnx anyway i can play almost the whole song..hope u can do more motown guitar tutorial..
Love what you do , thank you. Any chance of composing something to help ex-rock and rollers transform into budding cool jazz players. Looking for some technique help with growing into smooth consistent sounds (right hand stuff) tempo and a transcribed song simple enough to make us feel like there is hope.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman hi Sandra. Here is the song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NBzh-8SKB2U.html. Hope u would arrange the chord melody soon🤗
Just for educational purposes, I must say that monkeys and apes do have short (!) thumbs. Humans have long thumbs and this is one of our most important physical differences to our closest relatives. This is the reason that humans can do the so called precision grip that apes are not able to our ability. I, BTW, always mute the a string with my thumb, just as Hendrix and SRV used to do. So, if one is physically able to do it he/she should. It is just a very reliable way to do it. Very good video though.
The point is, even with a very long thumb you won't be able to mute the D- ir g-string. That's why it makes more sense to generally mute the string with the finger below it. But of you feel good with it, use your thumb.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Hi, thank you. But my main point actually was the monkey part 😏 And the thumb muting is, of course, only meaningful for the a string. I would not recommend it, let's say, for the high e-string. I tried it once and had to call the ambulance afterwards 😁 The guy from the ambulance was doing his best to free me out of the absurd situation I got into. When he didn't manage to get my thumb out of it's trap between the fretboard and the nut he had to call the firefighters. Took them half an hour to arrive. You can imagine how I was sweating and whining in pain. Also I was a bit embarrassed, they might had thought I'm stupid, or at least a typical German (aka Saupreiss). Once that they arrived they realized quickly that the question was down to, 'either the guitar neck or that grotesquely bended and twisted thumb', one of them had to be cut of. That was when I pulled all my senses and strength together and pleaded, 'the string, the string, just cut it off'. I was lucky, since the firefighter with that huge electrical saw understood German. Puhh, I don't want to risk something like that ever again. I, ever since, muted the higher strings only with my left knee. Took some years of practice though... Wonder if Hendrix knew that little trick 😏🤷♂️
Yeah, no pro does that, though 😊. I try to say it correctly when I teach, bc I know students don't know it yet. But when you talk to a pro player you won't hear the 7. We don't use triads in jazz, so it's absolutely clear, that it's all 7ths anyway. And actually we don't even play many 7th chords. We usually play tension chords.
