Simply a good video.

I like your arrangements and explanations. Thank you!

Thanks Andy. I really can relate to how you describe what’s happening with the chord changes/relationships.

Thanks!

The telly with the Deluxe is something else!

Thanks!

Excellent! Learned a ton of jazz in just 9 minutes. Well done!

Excellent info, as always. Thanks Andy.

Excellent analysis - key harmonic moves - are beautiful

I wonder if the flat 3 might be considered an element of Barry Harris' 6th diminished scale?

I've always loved this standard. I features many key harmonic moves that you will encounter time and time again in other standards. In this video, I break down 5 takeaways from Body and Soul.

Fender rumble = poor mans quilter!

Excellent lesson!

The best version, to me, was the Jerry Butler version, done in a Beguine rhythm, and one of the first on the radio. It has all the Jazz chords, and an electric guitar tht sounds licks from "Bonanza"

Quick question - in the first 4 bars we use a "major 2nd" in D7 following Am. In the second 4 bars going from F#m7(b5) we use a flat 9 or minor second in the B7 dominant. Is there a "rule" or guide as to picking the minor 2nd there, or is it just ear? Many thanks.

Thanks for this great lesson!

Great lesson!

Great series--and great instructional design. Thanks!

Thanks for plain talk and instructions

Playability, the feel and ergonomic suitablity of the neck and action to your hand is to me the most important characteristic of a guitar, above even the tone.

Quick and logical, thanks

Thank you for the explanation

These lessons series are Fantastic, in fact, a player who absorbs all this, and copies lines in the style of jazz they wanna play over, will be able to improvise in no time, this is all they really need to learn vocabulary. Great stuff thx.

I wanna get an Archtop Guitar and a Tele with humbucker

Yes, dial in the gate.

Sometimes rosewood boards look kind of faded on black (and other color) guitars, really just a matter of contrast fooling your eye. I like your new dialog mic; clean and natural, unlike the current fashion for bass-boosted/podcast style, which should have gone away with the demise of top-40 radio.

Any dates in mid July??

I hate those acoustasonic abominations as well!!

Hi, Andy, You expressed a preference for rosewood over pao ferro fretboards. Could you expand on that a bit? As martoneill says, the sound does seem to come in and out a bit, especially after a pause in the dialog, probably due to the noise gate you mention. I hope the new guitar works out well for you. I had a teacher in high school (around the Jurassic era) who had a pair of Jazzmasters which I got to play a bit. Nice instruments which I didn't have the skill to play to their best.

Might just be my headphones but is the sound coming in and out a little? Glad to hear you got through that busy month!

Let me know what you think of the new mic I'm using for dialogue! Still got to get used to it, but I think it's an improvement on the Rode video mic pro + I was using beforehand.

plummy

Excellent

I am finding these videos are very helpful in fleshing out the "Changes" course. They (1) flesh out bits I missed or didn't understand properly (2) help with the musical relationships and how the sounds flow, and (3) give me ways to find my way around the fretboard and where to look in the "neighbourhood" for the next note or the resolution of the lines etc. In short using my brain putting sounds and ideas together with musical logic. Thanks a lot.

This video is fabulous for developing bass accompaniment, soloing, or just getting it under your fingers. Much appreciated!

Are you using acoustic or electric strings? Beautiful tone.

Thanks for more amazing content! #Subscribed

Hey 🙂 I like relaxing vibe of the neo soul and energy and melody of gypsy jazz, but this more abstract style of jazz.. I like sound of maj,min 6,9 chords, they are much more interesting.. comment from a rock/blues player 😁 any album recommendations for listening?

I love the open sound of chords. Get a nice major sound w 3rd in bass on 6th string, 5th on on 3rd strng, root on 2nd strng. Very open. Got me guitar tuned in p4 so your nice fingerings are applicable top to bottom. Many thnks!

Excellent thanks. In my topsy turvey way I found this lesson - and it so happens to fit very nicely with the "Making the Changes Series" which I am systematically working through... provides an essential framework (and over the same song) to bring harmony and the progression together. Magic thanks.

Wow,very pretty

Great series indeed!

This is from a great album: Julie is her name. The whole album is full of incredibly creative and inspiring comping and soloing by Barney Kessel. I´ve studied lots of the song on that album: this one and Gone with the Wind are my favorites. Can´t help lovin´that man of mine is also really great. Barney always adds colour and has a dialogue with the melody. Very musical...Thanks for showing how he comps in this tune.

Suweeeet!

One of my favourite examples of jazz guitar comping right here! Link to the PDF in the description.

Beautiful! Thanks for reminding me it’s Wednesday!!

I really enjoyed this minor swing lesson, it's probably the first time that this piece has been explained so well, it's very concise and it is not rushed (which often leaves one wondering what was played?) Thankyou Andy 🙏🏻

It is good that you spand some time to play along with the virtual student. Thank you!

I think I've solved it. In my head, I'm hearing the first 4 chords as all 3-note chords and I'm play the C7 on the 8th fret so there's a mellow progression of melody notes Bb, C, D and E. Then back to the 1st fret for FM7 and the melody notes of C, D, E and Eb (Abm7). Just sounds sweeter to my ear. If I play the first two chords as 4-note chords as shown, my melody notes become D, E, D and Bb (C7 on the 2nd fret). Maybe I just have an odd ear but playing all the chords in the first two bars as 3-note chords just sounds sweeter to me. That's what was throwing me off. It sounded like somehow you were playing the G on the 8th fret on the Bb6 and the melody notes were D, E, G and Bb. All good though. This is fun.

Loved this… subscribed :)
