The oh so lovely Sandra Sherman is in the house! My favorite lady on You Tube! Much appreciation Sandra for doing this lesson for us. I used to know this song many moons ago, but I need to start over again with it and this is perfect. You work very hard in providing these lessons for us and I want you to know you are very much appreciated! You're a delight!
Danke Sandra!!! Unser Gitarrenlehrer war hin und weg, wie gut vorbereitet wir in den Unterricht kamen! Dank Deiner didaktisch tollen und gelassenen Art zu erklären! Greetings from Cologne Kurt
Ciao.. Ho 62 anni e dopo 50 anni da chitarrista autodidatta ho iniziato 3 mesi fa a studiare... Nel frattempo navigando su youtube ho incontrato te e i tuoi video... Sei bravissima e con te sto imparando tantissimo. Grazie mille. 😀😀😀
very well explained, I am grateful to you. Right now I'm in a nursing home and i will work before going to God. Thank you for all this knowledge sharing. God takes care of you
Thank you for your clear and patient lessons. I have been a blues/folk/whatever I could learn player for a number of years. While I have always enjoyed listening to jazz I always felt that it was beyond my reach as a player. You demystify it in such an accessible way. No condescension and always leaving room for someone to learn the, for lack of a better term, better way to play it. I enjoyed your lesson on song for my father and this song has been one of my favorites for quite awhile. All the best to you. Keep it up!
After spending the last month hammering away at the blues in Eb this was so much easier to wrap my fingers and head around! Thanks for a great lesson and all the noobs - learn your Bb and Eb jazz blues!
Hello Sandra , Well I just set my sights on setting up a Bossa Nova Set I am doing it with you , when suddenly I hear that take five . The most interesting group of jazz chords + melody That I have found to be hypnotic . So here we are together having a great time . 🎉
Hey, glad you invited me on to your jazz journey 😊😍.

Thank you so much for making this lesson! I really appreciate it 😊 I’m just starting to learn jazz and this really helped me. What’s the next easiest song I could learn?
Thank you for a very easy to understand lesson of this great composition. I'm basically a blues and rock guy, stuck in pentatonic and I-IV-V but I've been working with very skilled and talented keyboardists who have a very good jazz base. This video helped immensely. All the best to you.
thanks for learning this song my grandpa used to listen to this song a lot. and unfortunately my grandfather passed away. but every time I play this song for my grandmother I see her face shine again. thanks again, keep it up! you are a great teacher!
I always liked Take 5... cool rhythmically, in how the chords “share” the 5 count. And, what a melody😉. I remember learning it from George Benson’s CTI recording of it, way back. As usual, your analysis as you went through the lesson provides great insights (wish I had that back then!). Missed “lunch,” but had a great Moto ride👍😉. Be well!
So great you did this. I've already watched (and partially learned) the Desmond solo you posted a while ago. Great to have the underlying basics to that. You're the best!
Danke Sandra! Your enjoyable to use posts have helped me to be a better player and to enjoy playing more. Practicing with them gives me good results without feeling like I'm wading through knee-level mud.
Un accompagnement sur un standard intéressant. Merci pour votre clarté pour un pauvre frenchy qui ne comprend pas beaucoup l'anglais. Merci pour toutes vos vidéos. Musicalement
Merci, enfin une femme qui joue de la guitare! Bravo de t'afficher dans un monde injustement saturé par les hommes (et leurs égos...) Et du coup je me suis offert ta partition et c'est parfait. (Pour le rythme) C'est encore mieux de pouvoir te suivre en vidéo ensuite. Qualité dans les explications, par trop de bla-bla, ça m'inspire et ça sonne bien. Merci Sandra.👌
I'm sure you can play it sooner than you think. If you don't know any jazz chords yet, check out my chords playlist. It makes learning jazz standards so much easier if you understand the system behind it.
I love this lesson - 'Take Five' is what got me into jazz all those years ago - and I've put off learning it until today... which is probably the biggest mistake of my life! However - having spent a lot of my time playing blues and messing with the pentatonic scales... what you refer to as the 'beginner' shapes fall more naturaly for my fingers. I'll continue to work on my 'jazz' shapes... but just being able to finally play it in any form is a small miracle! No guesses as to what the rest of my weekend looks like!
It's all just a matter of practice. The Pentatonic was difficult in the beginning too. At least to make it sound bluesy, want it? Now it's ready, bc for years you didn't play anything else. Now it's time to add to that. But I have improv tutorials on how to make the Pentatonic sound jazzier and how to generally use it in jazz. Type "Pentatonic Guitarversum" in the YT search box to find those tutorials (for major and minor chords)
Sandra..........I Love your Lessons,always have for the past year now......You are 1 of about 3 people I listen to on RU-vid,I have Learned very much from you,Keep up the wonderful work you do.👍👍👍
Hi Sandra. Thank you very much for posting this video. It's a lovley chord arrangment once again. I look forward to putting it on the loop pedal and having great fun playing the melody and improvising. Have a lovely day. John
Thank you again, Sandra! Greetings from China. Thank you again! I have learned many chord melodies and comping from you. I am trying to work on playing a solo. It is very difficult.
Awesome! Start easy, just dorian and major (ionian). As explained in my recent lesson "You only need 2 scales", these 2 get you over most stuff in the beginning 😊
thank you oh so much! never thought, that i'd be able to get it halfway under my fingers... but i'm really really happy! bought the whole package. best regards!
Hello, Sandra Sherman!! I hope you are fine!! I think you are one of the most didactical jazz guitar teacher ever. Thank you very much for this wonderful master class! Much love from Brazil.
What a neat way to play an Eb-7. That position keeps the tone "consistant" with the other tones. Some people will play a chord at say the third fret, and then instead of playing the next chord in the tune at the fourth or fifth fret they will jump up to the eighth or ninth fret, which breaks the consistancy of the tune. I see that with some players who will play a CM7 chord at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fret, and then jump up to the eighth and ninth fret to play a C#dim. Their logic is the first string on the ninth fret is a C#, so that is where the diminish is to be played. And try as you may, you can't convince them that a C#dim can also be played at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fret, by just raising the bass note. I think it's a pride thing. The idea that, "I play the right chord, so why do I have to change it because someone thinks their chord is better"? So glad there are people like you on the net who lead us "constantly learning" swing guitar players down the correct path with rewards at the end. Keep up the good work and thanks.
Thank you for such a lovely lesson. It has a lot of value for jazz beginners and opens our eyes on how to pass from theory to practice. Well done. Lots of thanks.
Freut mich sehr,d ass es dir gefällt. Liebe Grüsse nach Nürnberg. Das letzte Mal wie ich dort war hat's extrem geregnet. So eine schöne Stadt, da muss ich bald wieder hin.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman it appears Paul Desmond had a great influence on that song, love his solo to it, which I played many times from your lesson.
Love your videos! Have improved my chord knowledge alot! And have learn some of the song you do during these quarentine! Thank you for expanding my jazz vocabulary!
Yeah, that's the topping on the ice cake. I always play solo over the entire form, bc I love that B section so much. The original song has the solo only over the A section.
Cool !!! I been wanting to try this one for awhile since I’ve been playing this song for a Jazz band! (off & on since 2002). I got a Les Paul at a Great Price and trying my hand at guitar again! Since COVID has stopped work there is a lot of time for guitar too! What fun!!! Keep up the great lessons!!!!!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thank you very much for your wishes. My area (Valencia) is one of the least affected and has more "trackers" hired in Spain, but economically it is a disaster that was not known since our Civil War, no tourism, no cars sold, few people go to restaurants ... Anyway we hope that a vaccine is manufactured soon and at least next year the situation will improve.
Thanks so much! ❤️ I had that in a few lessons, but won't do it again. I need to sell something. The videos are free already and most tabs are 2.99, so that's really affordable. One tutorial takes about a whole week of production. It can't be all free.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I really appreciate you a lot for what you give to the community. I understand the sacrifice you go through to put out these lessons. I will try my best to assist you on your effort. What is the annual fee to enroll in your online lessons?
