@@dpatt6175 That's an odd thing to say, mate. Lighten up. The world is nicer if we are ready to be nice to one another and give compliments where due :)
10:32 is the moment after thirty-four years of playing guitar, that I finally figured out WHY a II-V-I chord progression works. Instead of viewing it as a box, it makes more sense as a straight line. I now have a better way to visualize the progression. This video just unlocked a whole new set of riffs/licks for me. Thank you, you wonderously beautiful man you.
Paul this was simply a joy to watch and absorb. Additionally the overlaid notation is absolutely next level!! Just beautiful. I haven't been playing all that long but there is something about jazz chord voicings that just make me sigh. Blessings from Australia.
This is why Paul is different from others in TH-cam, the way he creates his video is so wonderful and inspiring and makes me pick up my guitar to play and learn.
Every once in a while, I stumble across someone who changes my whole viewpoint… my first teacher, then Hendrix, then Slash, and now, Paul Davids. Thank you Paul.
some forty years ago I was hired to sit in as accompaniment for a jazz singer at a little bistro. I was reading charts I had never seen before that evening. I remember listening to the melody of My Funny Valentine for the first time as we played, it was so beautiful and I had no idea where it was going or what my chords would sound like next. I had to remind myself to pay attention to what i was doing and not screw this up by listening too much. But it was so engaging creating the music in a live performance setting while listening to it as all new.
When Paul Davids started playing My Funny Valentine, immediately an old classic black and white movie popped up in my head with soft rain falling in the background as the Man smokes a cigar looks at a beautiful woman walking past him. Paul Davids has the power of making any song sound beautiful
Mate thank you Paul you don't know what your music means to me I just love your way of playing and it's inspired me to play. Thanks Paul. Your music is so beautiful.
I struggle with anger. It shifts my attitude toward the negative, a constant radiation of heat from my core. But then I sat for a while with an old friend on a computer screen and the two of us admired how beautiful a song can be. I enjoyed the sway of that old, classic sound that blues seems to make, older than the instrument he played. Older than either of us. It was truly romantic, the way it reminded me of my beautiful girl, but also of love itself. It was as if I was playing the role of every star-crossed lover at once beneath the soothing tones of steel strings. And i wasn't angry anymore. Thankyou for that.
Paul, your content is always fantastic, but you should know that your ES-335 sounds simply wonderful, especially with the subtle tremolo effect. I'm mesmerized.
I loved this song for years, when all I could play on guitar was wild thing. Thank you, Paul and all the other on line guitar teachers for making my dreams come true and giving me the knowledge to play this masterpiece. 💖
thank you Paul. I am starting to play again after recovery from a painful thumb problem and it may be that your next level playing course is just what I need to bring some focus and inspiration to my return to making music again ...
How great it is that my favourite TH-camr calls my favourite jazz standard „The Prettiest Love Song“? Have been playing it for years mostly on an archtop and definitely like the bluesy crunch that fits so well to your beautiful arrangement. Chapeau!
Well done, Mr. Davids. Thank you 🙏 I can't say it's not a beautiful song. Your breakdown and insight is articulate and gives me a new appreciation for the song. My first encounter with "My Funny Valentine" was in the early 80s when I sang bass in the junior high vocal jazz ensemble. It was a popular number back then. It seemed that every vocal jazz ensemble sang it at every competition that year, and we rehearsed it ad infinitum, ad nauseum. I grew to loathe the song... Thank you for allowing me to appreciate its complexity and beauty once again.
Thanks a lot, Paul, for beautifully featuring this beloved song! Can't wait to practice your chord-melody... One more LINE I'd like to add: beginning with the two-bar "staaaaaaay" in what I believe is 27th bar I play decending chords Cm11, B7(#11), Bbm11, Bb7(#11) to AbM7. This is extra beautiful as the singing voice "stays" for two whole bars, before coming to the conclusion that "each day is Valentine's Day". Just love it!
Played this song on trumpet many times, but after this I feel the urge to give my guitar skills a try in another genre, man, all these beautiful chords... Thanks Paul
Every time I see your videos and lessons, it inspires me to involve deeply into the music and forget everything else. Just me, guitar and the music. The way you explain makes it so easier to understand the music theory 😌😇✌🏼
A Most beautiful love song it is! A haunting combo of collaboration of lyrics and notes that is giving us a very personal view inside the relationship between the writers , Rodgers and Hart. At least, that’s the way it seems to me.
Got inspired, wanted to surprise my wife for Valentine‘s day, had 2hrs of time, still in the first bar :-). However, this is one to aspire to in the future. How well phrased it is, how nicely seemingly obvious chord choices get substituted or embellished, what a masterpiece. Fantastic video Paul!
I've really enjoyed learning so many things from you Paul!👊 You have a way of explaining things to us that just makes good sense. Ty my friend, and it is a beautiful song. Great one to practice chord changing on.
Let’s say it again: an intense and tasty content, a visible joy to teach sophisticated music in a most accessible way, a playful, admirably useful editing…Paul is making on line teaching an uplifting delight. Many blessings from France!
Paul,just watched this video and it put me in mind of a person that I think you should listen to,it Alice Fredenham from Britain's Got Talent 2013, her voice is pure gold
I actually performed this song in high schools jazz band. Played the trombone part however. Song gives me chills everytime I hear it. Great video as always :)
@Paul Davids, I keep coming back to this video! Amazing what you did here! The whole production is amazing! Could you share how you added the chords into the video, like @3:13 for example? Thank you! God bless!
Paul..... I love your edits and respect with envy your talent combined with a drive to share the joy of guitar. I think I will be subscribing to your courses soon to learn, be driven and to have a friend on my journey. Well done Paul and a bigger thank you.
That sounds great. Very insightful to someone like myself who doesn't really do the Jazz thing. It's cool to watch you work it out. I'm a little rusty with my sheet music sight reading haha, tabs are ruining me.
Dear Mr. Davis, I love your style man! This song is very Reminiscent of a Julie London song “Cry Me a River”. I’d love to hear your take and tutorial on her song. The Aerosmith version is pretty good too! LOL! Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do!
I have so many questions 1. What difference between jazz and blues 2.what is tonic note or chord 3. how to make chord progression perfectly 4. how to memorize nots on frets 5.why jazz have so different sounds .....
DAMN YOU PAUL! My Funny Valentine is my favorite love song and now anytime I'll bring it up people will go "Oh yeah, so you also saw that video from Paul?"

I've just started watching the video, and I will keep an eye out for what you wrote in your comment.
Heck yeah John! Glad he was able to do that for you that’s awesome

Exactly!!

Love the Chet Baker version. I can almost hear him singing... he's the reason why I listen to jazz.
same!!! :,)
the almost hearing him comment struck my heart

I’ve experienced something similar and I agree.. it’s a phenomenal way to discover a song😎

The quality of your videos is outstanding. Just think how much work and effort into filming all those frames and playing that smooth.
Masterpiece! When you struggling with life and playing... Paul gives you some comfort. Thanks for your effort mate...
That first 2 minutes was so beautiful. A moment.
Absolutely beautiful, you play with such feeling and soul....it shines through. Wonderful.
That was delightful! Thank you kind sir. This will keep me off the streets for a while, so much to learn here.
Thanks a lot, Paul, for beautifully featuring this beloved song! Can't wait to practice your chord-melody...

Sorry for writing down two wrong chords. Just fixed it!
Chet died in Holland. There's a plaque for him in Amsterdam where he was found.
A brilliant singer and trumpet player.
Played this song on trumpet many times, but after this I feel the urge to give my guitar skills a try in another genre, man, all these beautiful chords... Thanks Paul

When he said "I do have the magic ingredient for jazz players" I was expecting something far more.... golden brown
Production value is through the roof wow
Interesting insight of this sweet piece, well explained, very good exploration, hat off, complments!

Cant get enough of u, your Videos and your music. Thank you verry much for the new ideas
I've really enjoyed learning so many things from you Paul!👊 You have a way of explaining things to us that just makes good sense.
Ty my friend, and it is a beautiful song.
Great one to practice chord changing on.
This one of my favorites of all time. “ The fabulous Baker boys” and Elvis Costello do great versions as well. Thank you, Sir!
I was just about to recommend the Elvis Costello version.
Are we talking about the version he sings on Marian McPartland’s “Piano Jazz” radio show, because it is brilliant.
My favorites are Misty and My little suede shoes, they are so fun to play!
wow glad too hear this
Let’s say it again: an intense and tasty content, a visible joy to teach sophisticated music in a most accessible way, a playful, admirably useful editing…Paul is making on line teaching an uplifting delight. Many blessings from France!
Oh yeah! That’s what its all about. I’ll be sitting down later with my guitar to learn along with Paul!
I love this song.
I agree on your choice of songs.
Very nice video. And your guitar's sound was beautifull. Well done.
My daughters week-end singing the alphabet when they eared you talk about chords lol.
Thank you, Paul!
All your videos are amazing!
Thank you for inspiring me to play guitar!!!
The one ane only Paul Davids! Thank you! 🙏👊👊
This was the best into ever! Great video Paul.
Great explanations Paul. You dumbed it down just enough so that even I could understand it :)
Paul,just watched this video and it put me in mind of a person that I think you should listen to,it Alice Fredenham from Britain's Got Talent 2013, her voice is pure gold
It is a beautiful song for sure...
Thank you so much ! More like this Please !!!
Thank you Paul.
it's nice to have a channel that's not pure beginner, keep on man
Seriously, a masterpiece. Please continue whatever cinematic sorcery this is! Thanks Paul, inspiring dude.
I actually performed this song in high schools jazz band. Played the trombone part however. Song gives me chills everytime I hear it. Great video as always :)
Your videos are insane. I wish I had 1% of your talent and dedication.
Now I'm sure I need a harmonic tremolo, on jazz chords that's amazing
This is the kind of content that is good for the world.
Anyone else with that title would just be click bait, you though, damn that was great. Never disappoint good sir
Fantastic Paul. Inspiring video and beautifully produced.
Feedback appreciated (💯)%⬆️⬆️ LET'S TALK....
Oh god, you videos are an artistic masterpiece! Just love it.
It's Always You by Chet Baker is another very romantic jazz song, I just love it.
Wonderfully described. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this.
I love the Chet Baker version. You just might be right about it being the prettiest love song. Top five for sure.
Incredibly moving makes me want to go home and hug wife thanks Paul
I really appreciate your teaching style and accompanying graphics!
Best video you've posted in a long time. I've often wished you would do more tutorials like this. Amazing lesson. Thank you.
Yup, back to the basics that built his channel.
Thank you for making this video and making me aware of this song. It's a really nice piece and you have played it well.
Great, great tone. Just the right amount of grit.
Bud, I honestly believe that you are probably one of the best guitars I have ever seen! Keep this up, you’re a beast!🤙🏼
Excellent!! I’m going to learn this one! Great tutorial & description of the chord progressions
The start reminds me a lot about Something by Beatles, and it also made me think of Junk by Paul McCartney. Interesting video, Paul!
Loving every aspect on your course. Opened my eyes and ears to so many possibilities. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I've always loved this song ... For sentimental reasons. From Chet Baker to other versions. You just can't beat it!😸
Thanks Paul!
I really like your jazz and blues videos!
Top notch Paul you are a cut above the rest my friend
Super, super video - and a challenge that will keep me occupied for at least a month!! Plus a bonus - Paul actually sings!!
Love me some chet baker on the guitar, nice and refreshing
Your best intro yet ✌️😂
@Paul Davids, I keep coming back to this video! Amazing what you did here! The whole production is amazing! Could you share how you added the chords into the video, like @3:13 for example? Thank you! God bless!
Beautifully played. Chet baker- lament is also a track!
Brilliant video - Love me some jazz
Best way to teach how to learn a song, Magnificent !

You are super cool. I love your productions, and always take something away from your demonstrating... 👍😁🙏
Great work man. Talking about pretty love songs, Something by The Beatles should be in your list for videos in the future.
Beautifully done. Thanks!
I have so many questions
1. What difference between jazz and blues
2.what is tonic note or chord
3. how to make chord progression perfectly
4. how to memorize nots on frets
5.why jazz have so different
sounds
.....
DAMN YOU PAUL! My Funny Valentine is my favorite love song and now anytime I'll bring it up people will go "Oh yeah, so you also saw that video from Paul?"
Absolute magic Paul, well played.
☝️☝️☝️
Hit me up......
Damn nice tone (and playing)
Chet's gifts being graciously passed along. Good stuff :)
My favorite Sinatra song… amazing my friend, so well done. Made me smile 🙂
Tasty as always. Thank you so much
