I needed this so much. Just now trying to get my feet (fingers?) wet with jazz and maybe a little finger style. 5 spine surgeries set m guitar playing back about 20 years. I need something a little less aggressive to get my kick start. Also like the way you "feel" your music coming straight from your soul. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is a marvelous video and performance. You are a "black belt" teacher, not to fast and not to slow and well explained. I would love to hear you jazz "Moon River" & "Summertime" other beautiful songs on the same theme. Many thanks for your excellent presentation!
A very nice arrangement. Simple and yet it stays true to the piece. Barre are difficult in the beginning, but with practice and time, I'm sure I'll be playing it up to speed. A very nice piece to add to my repertoire...Thank you... I'm currently working on your Jazz Improv lessons
Greg, Thank you for such a great lesson. It helps to work with familiar standards like “All of me”, Fly me to the moon”, “Sweet Georgia Brown”. I would love to see what you would do with “Waters of March”.
This is a nice arrangement. I actually think the version that Jim Hall played with Ron Carter is simpler but not as "classical" sounding as this. It's basically playing the melody but using shells (3/7 voicings) for the chords. I learned it about 20 years ago and I've never forgotten it, although I try to make many arrangements so that I can vary them.
Great lesson. I'd like to see the tab for how you added the latin rhythm to it. Maybe do a follow up video with that. A song I really would like to see you do in the jazz finger style is Mr. Sandman by the Chordettes. Maybe make a simplified version like you did with Autumn Leaves. Thanks,
Your style of teaching is refreshing and I really like your finger style arrangement of autumn leaves. That haunting melody is timeless.BTW that's quite a guitar what is it?

Absolutely Beautiful
Beautiful yet simple enough to be accessible for beginner and intermediate classical and fingerstyle players. More like this!

You’re certainly “the man” Greg! Loved that esp the Latin rendition. I’m currently working my way through one of your courses - steadily but sure…
More lessons like this would be very helpful...especially with more intermediate/advanced chords. Thank you

I absolutely love this song and your version is perfection. Came me chills.
Thank you Nancy. Give it a try yourself!
I love this song! Thanks for the great lesson, very helpful :)))
This is a beautiful rendition of a song playable for many starters as myself. As more comments have said more of this would be welcome.
Thanks, Stuart! Stay tuned for more!
That was beautiful Greg and belies the simplicity of the arrangement. I would like to see Moon River.
Thank you!! Happy that you enjoyed this arrangement. Moon River is a good one, noted it for the future!😁

Thank you!! nice job w breaking this difficult melody down
Greg, Thank you for such a great lesson. It helps to work with familiar standards like “All of me”, Fly me to the moon”, “Sweet Georgia Brown”. I would love to see what you would do with “Waters of March”.
Great suggestions John! Glad you enjoyed the lesson 😁
What a great lesson - you have just helped my very basic skill set sound as though I can play jazz. Thank you.
You're very welcome Don!
Thanks for the great lesson, beautiful performance~
Glad you liked it!
This is so amazing, Greg! Cannot wait to try this out!
Enjoy!
Thank you you are clear and generous 😊

After your last mail, a tune that I would like to learn in this fashion would be, “ how insensitive “ one of my favourite tunes.
Hey Stuart, I do have a "How Insensitive" melody-only lesson up on my youtube if you like to check that one out.
Great lesson. I'd like to see the tab for how you added the latin rhythm to it. Maybe do a follow up video with that. A song I really would like to see you do in the jazz finger style is Mr. Sandman by the Chordettes. Maybe make a simplified version like you did with Autumn Leaves. Thanks,
Great suggestions John. Added Mr Sandman to the list. Thanks!
many thanks, grat lesson

Good video but unfortunately there is no FREE PDF file unless you join Greg's inner circle of lessons. Or at least I never got a PDF of autumn leaves.
