Sweet Georgia Brown guitar chords and the Cycle of 5ths
Dix Bruce teaches the chords to the great pop and jazz standard "Sweet Georgia Brown" in the keys of F and G. All of the chords are shown in "closed position," without open string notes, so they are moveable around the fingerboard and can each be used to make many different chords. Dix also defines and discusses chord progressions that include the Cycle of 5ths and chord numbering. Dix references a few of his books in the video: Gyspy Swing and Hot Club Rhythm Complete Guitar Edition (musixnow.com/gypsy-swing-hot-club-rhythm-complete-guitar-edition/), Gyspy Swing and Hot Club Rhythm Complete Mandolin Edition (musixnow.com/gypsy-swing-hot-club-rhythm-complete-mandolin-edition/), BackUP TRAX: Swing and Jazz (musixnow.com/backup-trax-swing-jazz-vol-1/), and Mel Bay's Rhythm Guitar Chord System (musixnow.com/mel-bays-rhythm-guitar-chord-system/). All are available from his website: www.musixnow.com. This video is the companion to a similar video that teaches the chords on "Sweet Georgia Brown" for mandolin: th-cam.com/video/t0Q8NVlyTyY/w-d-xo.html

Dix Bruce: Sweet Georgia Brown Mandolin Chord Lesson
Such a beautiful rendition of this song. Two guitars sounded like a grand orchestra, and so beautiful! Thank you. !!!
Really enjoy you folks. Simple, understated, and just what I want to hear.
Ahh man, RIP Dix Bruce!
my fave from the instant I first saw them!
👍
Any song with Missippi reminds me of a racist past.
Gary Swenson A great friend for over 60 years. I will miss you. Save a chair for me so I can sing along with you. Love you man
A beautiful gift. Thank you.
RIP
Short and sweet!
Great tune..
So long, old buddy. Miss you!
Thinking of you today Dix, sending out waves of love and gratitude for you, your music, your friendship, your humor. You made a real difference in this world in the lives of SO many. We will miss you terribly and remember you fondly and forever. Hilary & JIm
RIP, Dix.
Fantastic. This is a great story and well told. Thank you. I had a neighbor in Fresno who used to play with Tiny. I sure wish I’d asked him more questions back then. (I didn’t know the questions yet)
I know what you mean! About every day I think of something I WISH I'd asked Tiny or Jethro and any number of the late and greats. We're so lucky to have the music they made,
Ok
I would like to thank you very much for these vids @TheDixbruce. I only discovered your "Sweet Georgia Brown" tutorial a few nights ago and actually felt my playing improved in a great leap by doing so. I am loving this one as well. My daughter who has to put up with my playing every evening, for the first time ever said to me "You're starting to get good Dad" . Thank you very much
Thanks for the nice comments Tom. Sounds like your daughter has great taste! Dix
This song means so much to me. I’ve been listening to you two since I was 13 and growing up in Berkeley. Thanks for all the great music over the years!
😢 ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ
Brillant demonstration !
Hey there, I've enjoyed several of the videos so first of all, thanks! Secondly, can you please tell me what the track is at the beginning and ending of this Mandolin Magic Shape video? Comments are turned off otherwise I'd ask there... I dig it, but even Shazam couldn't figure out the song! Thanks for any help. th-cam.com/video/IDPFMGRjhZc/w-d-xo.html
great job! cool song!
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. One of my (many) favourites from the Parking Lot Pickers song book. It's funny but if I'm down or had a tough day just strumming this song on the old nylon string lifts me up again.
extremely excellent!!!
First
Two guitars, the sweetest sound.
Thanks for posting these vids! The duet stuff you guys did is some of my favorite music ever!
Good Pickin' & Singin' Guys
Pick On !!!!
Harmony reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel

Good stuff fellers! Two of the best right here!
I have every CD the two of you have released but I haven't seen a video of you before. What a treat! Thanks!
Mr. Bruce u r my mentor, I've got most all your mandolin books , CDs & videos u taught me at home &think I'm pretty good thank u
Dix, thank you for putting this great material out there! I've checked out your Carter style Christmas sample, "O Christmas Tree", and it's already helped me to become a better player. Thank you!
