***************************************
A Blue Monk guitar tutorial instrumental has been on your wishlist for quiet some time now. So here is a not too hard to play, yet interesting sounding chord melody version of this all time jazz blues classic by Thelonious Monk.
I harmonize the melody in diads, triads and chord fragments. This enables you to change chords quickly and makes for a nice harmonized sound. for each note in the melody.
The Blue Monk chord progression is a little bit different from the standard Jazz Blues. We have no cadence and the sixth degree is not in there too.
I'll show you each of the Blue Monk guitar chords note for note, slow and easy and there is also a slow tempo playthrough of the entire song towards the end of the Blue Monk guitar tutorial.
I've made the Blue Monk guitar tabs, including standard notation as PDF and Guitar Pro files. I've also made a sounding Blue Monk backing track at regular and at slow tempo, which you can all download from the link in this description box. If you want more lesson material like this Blue Monk chord melody tutorial, please check out my lesson shop guitarversum.com.
If you like my Blue Monk guitar tutorial instrumental, please give it a fat thumbs up, share the love and the knowledge.

Enjoy, Sandra :-) - Hudba
thanks, Sandra, you heard my "prayers" to arrange Blue Monk for easy minded guys like me ;-) I'm grateful
I was reading your mind, hehe.
Love this...really helping jazz up my old folk/blues repertoire...
Pure Gold...It even sounded like you were playing a piano.
Hey, cool compliment! Thanks ❤️
I love Blue Monk! The chromatics in the melody are so cool. Thanks for doing this tutorial (in your usual perfect way).
Thanks, Geerd! Indeed, Blue Monk is a cool song :-)
Well done! You teach very well and you manage to make everything easier. Very, very good! Thanks a lot for your precious work!
Grazie mille! Glad to be of help. Keep swingin' :-)
Another of my favourite songs, perfectly performed as always. Thank you very much Sandra.

Oh, that makes me really happy and a little proud too 🧡😊
Thank you! great class!

You're my favorite teacher on CZcams, par none. This video is another gem in my collection. This will be easy, I think, and that's highly appreciated for a nice tune in between to add to my repertoire.
Thanks so much, Sir Andy 🧡. I love those easy to learn, short heads too. One can easily biuld up the repertoire, by adding some of these.
Love this song, Love this arrangement! Thank You! ;-)

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman
I like the easy ones!
Another great lesson - Vielen Dank! I can't wait to gt this one down.
Enjoy the jazz ride 😊 🎶 🎸
Sandra this is one of my favorite Thelonious songs of all times. Fantastic adaptation to guitar. Cannot wait to learn how to play it over the weekend. Cheers and stay safe!👍👍
Hi Keef. It's rather easy to play. Guess you'll have it under your fingers within a few days max.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Fantastic! Can't wait.❤
Thank you for a great lesson...l love this piece. You are such a fine teacher.🎸🌹
Glad, this is for you! Keep swinging 🎶 🎸
Gahreetings!! What a fun Thursday lunch, Sandra😄👍. You always make my day - fun cover of Blue Monk👏. Keep smilin’!
Glad we spent time at lunch together again 😊
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Annette! That's too sweet of you and highly appreciated
I ordered your tabs. The video makes a great complement. Fun piece to play!
Awesome, thank you! ❤️
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
Many thanks Sandra, this is my lucky day ! I began to study this song today and I had just decided my phrasing with lots of tritones Monk's style when CZcams's algorithms sent me your great and awesome video. As your arrangement is less dissonant than mine I'll try to play it first to tame listeners' ears.
And as I will have stolen some of your ideas, I hope I can someday record mine to send them to you. It depends only on my 69 old painful and lazy fingers'will and the speed I'll be able to jump from an arpeggio to the next one. I'm not sure if I can take a firm commitment because I'm just a one year beginner on my own. A child learning to walk first crawls on four.
So thousands thanks for what you share, you gave me big motivation ! Greatings from Paris 🇫🇷
PS. For those who don't know her yet, you can check Hiromi Uehara on the BBC. She is fantastic !
Thank you! ❤️ You can always post your rendition on my Facebook page Guitarversum.
Great, nice sound ! :)
Thank you Sandra! I love the way you teach!! Greetings from Mexico :)
Hola, Ricardo! Glad you like the tutorial. Keep swinging 🎶 🎸

That's a nice compliment. I should use it to advertise stuff 😊❤️
Thanks
Valeu pelo conteúdo , parabéns!
You're right, that was really great fun! Thank you for a nice evening. 😊
❤️
Thank YOU for sharing the "love and the knowledge". This 🎵 is in intermediate JMI repertoire so I am going to focus on this one for sure 😊
That one's absolutely doable. Just make sure to have smooth transitions vetween the chords /diads.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank you great teacher! I love you and Damien Bacci! My 2 favourite ❤ CZcams guitar teachers. Lovely and positive and fun. You make me feel so good!
What an amazing channel!

Hi Sandra, many thanks for this version of Blue Monk, love it. Best regards, Amadeus
Thank you too!
Yours explanatioms of hard.stamdard are.very simple and easy to understand ....it's like a mother with her childten 👍
Lovely version Sandra and good to see that you have arranged it in the original key. Well done!
Anything else woul've been blaspemic, wouldn't it? 😁
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman It certainly would. I will be learning this one. Many thanks Sandra.
A big kiss from Ireland.

Perfect! I was just thinking about adding one more blues theme to my repertoire. This on seems to be fairly easy.
You just can't have enough Blues heads in your repertoire 😊
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman LOL, agreed :-)
Super!
J'adore ! Merci. Clair et précis. Je comprends même votre anglais ;=))
Oh, merci beaucoups! I wish there were automatic translations for the videos. I don#t know why YT can't do this, since it can already transcribe the original language.
Thanks, what a teacher you 👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks so much for your kind words! 🧡
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman You're very welcome 👏🏿👏🏿
You the best, Sandra! Such a pro! Thank you again. Have you been/played in America?
No, I've never played the US. Toured Europe, but never US. Would be cool, though.
I feel I got a chance now. Thank you
Full purchase!!
Thank you! Enjoy and keep swining' 🎸🎵
Ohh relatively easy. Even I maybe able to play this. Thank you Sandra :)
You can do it!
Thanks for the great lesson. Could you make a chord melody arrangement for "When I Fall in Love"?
I can look into that 🎸🎶
Complimenti molto brava
Thank you! ❤️
Las explicaciones son excelentes
Muchas gracias! ❤️
👍Sehr gut erklärt
Hello Sandra, I love your videos! I'm a pro but I have to say there is always something to learn from watching what you.Your video thumbnails are also beautiful. May I ask what program you use to get both your picture and the nice text and colors? Thank you
Thanks, Nelson. I use Photoshop for my thumbnails. But it doesn't do it for you, you have to do it yourself ;-)
You’re welcome, Sandra and thank you. Well, that is quite obvious. You have to do everything yourself.:)
Hi Sandra
Do you take requests? How about a chord melody version of Killer Joe?
Gracias Sandra excelente lección!! que recomiendas para improvisar por escala o por acordes??
