Any plans to do a soloing lesson for this one? Your tutorials are my go-to on songs that I find confusing/intimidating. On this one it's the 3/4 plus ALL those chords...where do I even begin getting my head around a solo here?!?
Hi Jay, I haven't gotten round to doing that for this one. I have made a video on soloing in 3/4 focussing on rhythm: th-cam.com/video/ktpSqyDa_pc/w-d-xo.html My go to advice in this situation: - know the melody insanely well and then learn to vary that as a step into improvising -work on small sections of the song and outline the harmony in arpeggios - as you get more used to this connect to the nearest note of the next chord -you could try singing ideas and trying to find them on your guitar. Just a few ideas!
I’m not sure I’d appreciate hearing this comment from another. Bluesette, as the teacher mentioned, is a lesson in ii-V7-I (a CORE principle in Western music). And this may also bother you … but this song, for the most part) does only two things: a repeating descending succession of ii-V-I’s using strings 643. The other thing is descending ii-V-I’s on strings 532, each preceded by a Maj7.. I’m a beginner. I thought it noteworthy (but good) that the teacher used R37 chords without mentioning anything about that. Closing remark: Much of the entire Real Book is ii-V-I. The knowledge gained in Bluesette probably extends to 100 other songs.
Hi Malcolm, cheers for watching. I think Bill's tune 'Waltz for Debby' would be another good one for you to check out once you've got this one down. Do you know that tune yet?
@@malchristie I don't think that many guitar players have recorded it. Ones that I can remember listening to is by Earl Klugh and John McLaughlin. I really like this live version too: th-cam.com/video/YhRLObtZPQA/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact: The fifth edition of the Real Book omits the second ending altogether (this edition has numerous issues, not least of which is its rather dubious legality). The sixth (legal) edition has it, though. Thanks, Andy. It seems like you're inspiring me to go back and relearn a lot of my repertoire.
Thank you for this tutorial, mate. Toots was one of my favorite musicians. I wouldn't have been able to play Bluesette w/o your help.
You're very welcome!
Thanks. Clear and interesting about the structure of that wonderfull tune writen by our Toots :)
It sure is a wonderful tune.
ty for this
You are very welcome

Great lesson. Thanks.
Its funny how we "relate" music though isnt it?
This melody conjures up cheesy 1960's films to me.
It sure is! I get what you mean about this one.
French ones at that
Great lesson, thank you for teaching me how to play some beautiful standards !!!
No problem. Thanks as ever for commenting. 😎
Thanks again Andy for the lesson as expected well explained and good to follow
Cheers Stuart
Great lesson Andy thanks again. I also love this tune! I just think 3/4 tunes are my faves - always been a big Bill Evans fan.

@@jazzguitarwithandy I do indeed Andy - absolutely brilliant tune. Do you know of a jazz guitarist who has done a version of it?

I’ve come across loads of things in the Real Book like that. iReal pro is full of it too
@@jazzguitarwithandyThere’s an errata which corrects many of these errors.
