We start by outlining the basic changes and melody as separate entities; using my looper to demonstrate how each section sounds when stripped back like this. Then with the liberal use of authentic, vintage flavoured voicings and harmonic manoeuvres we make chord melody magic happen! As always with my lessons, you’ll come away with a beautiful sounding piece of music to play for your friends and family, as well as a deeper understanding of how the language of music really works. TAB/Notation and audio recording of the chord melody itself is of course included with the lesson materials, but I’ve also included a basic chord chart with my recommended voicings for accompaniment and the melody itself! -------------------------------------------- ⏱️ Time Stamps ⏱️ 00:00 - Performance 01:58 - Introduction 02:38 - Lesson Materials 02:49 - A section basic chords 03:40 - A section melody 04:15 - Chord melody breakdown 11:45 - Second A section 12:34 - Textural Tonal Thinking 13:12 - ii-V into the Bridge 14:24 - B section basic changes 15:23 - B section basic melody 16:00 - B section chord melody breakdown 19:24 - i diminished 21:22 - Final A section 22:38 - Django ending 23:20 - Technique 24:27 - Tone Talk! 24:53 - Sign-off! -------------------------------------------- 🎥 Reference Videos; 🎥 Triads and three note voicings; https://youtu.be/fvvIc93f-EU?si=X0REa9pcLZ_6oqZC How to use Diminished chords; https://youtu.be/cE7DTVknkXU?si=YJurXVJVQfIgAMn6 Tri-tone Substitution; https://youtu.be/Djm-tN43Q2g?si=QK37unREBZsN-PcF Beautiful jazz chords (including the Barry Harris scale); https://youtu.be/e7ojDU1pNSI?si=2glkvrPoBjyT5Pho My Jazz chords survival guide; https://youtu.be/YuGjk8Hqpnw ---------------------------------------- Gear used in this video; 1958 Gibson es175 Lazy J20 amp Thomastik Flatwound 12 Gauge strings Honeypicks Plectra Dunlop H3 plectrum Universal Audio OX - amp top box Universal Audio Apollo Twin X Logic Pro Universal Audio plugins Sony ZVE-10 camera Neewer Desktop Tripod Final Cut Pro Thanks for watching!
