    Great video, thank you. I've always had difficulty soloing over this tune as a sax player, I look forward to working this concept. Well Done!

      @@CharlesHarrisonMusicTuition Hi, I'm currently learning the head of a lot of famous standards, and trying to write down their chords in a I ii iii IV fashion, so I can play them in any key, I heard they're easier to remember. For example, I can play the chords to donna lee from memory, but I wouldnt be able to in F. Also, some things are impossible to memorize for me, like All The Things You Are, even if it is mainly 2-5-1s. So learning in this style might make it easier. Thanks for your time!

      Sounds like a very sensible practice approach to me! Did you know that Donna Lee in F is the song Indiana? Learn that one! Cheers

    Longer videos give you the chance to say the same idea in a different way. So the awe moment can happen for more people. Nice job!

      @CharlesHarrisonMusicTuition  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same to you! I use the DiMarzio seat belt straps. Be warned if you have a nice finish the buckles can scuff it up a bit. I'm not too worried about it with this natural finish. Cheers 🤟

      The simple ones are always the hardest to create interest over as they don't rely on harmonic interest! cheers

      I just double checked and yes. Not sure what-s going on there? Have you checked your tuner's settings? I just checked that the video is in tune too and no weird audio jiggery pokery is going on at my end on this occasion! Let me know once you've figured it out. Cheers!
