Thank you!

Thanks! I'm glad.

Many thanks, Miguel!

Thank you, Sharon. I heard the Coltrane version, of course. And years ago, at an Allman Bros. show, their encore was this tune (they were big Coltrane fans). Tune was written by Mongo Santamaria.

Cool info Tom!

I’m digging deep here, but there is a “Renaissance” vibe going on here with both your strings. Maybe because I just watched a period piece movie (Elizabeth, Cate Blanchet), that I heard a tonal and rhythmic similarity.

In my humble opinion, I never found modes as useful to me, personally, as arpeggios. Again, just to my own taste, playing chord tones produces a more musical sound than when I try to play modes. Of course, it's very helpful to know the underlying scales so that you can "connect" the chord tones. Many will differ with that opinion. How about you?

@@tomculhane6648 I think the same, I was just curious because I was taking a Berklee free improvisation course and they were teaching just modes and altered scales.

@@tomculhane6648 I tried to use modes and it always sounds weird haha

@@bonacera3 Even when trying to solo over a "modal" tune like "So What" or "Impressions," I tend to arpeggiate the chords in that particular key. Example: "So What": over the D minor, I'll play arpeggios for C Maj, Dm, Em, F Maj, G7, Am, etc. Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend!

Thanks, Carlos. Glad you found it and hope it helps!

You're very welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks so much, Carlos! No, I'm not really aware of any acoustic guitar versions. But, of course, it's good to check out versions by people like Nat King Cole and Mel Torme. To me, the lyrics give me a better sense of the song --- even when we play it and don't sing it. :) Thanks for watching and for commenting, and good luck to you.

@@tomculhane6648 Thanks Tom, yes I have heard those great singers and many more do it - all wonderful renditions. One of the first versions I ever heard was by The Romantic Strings. My mom used to play that record, and even as a kid, hearing it wafting through the house on a summer day was just the best feeling ever. I guess maybe that's why I'm partial to the instrumental versions and sometimes walk around humming it all day. I went looking for the last part of your lesson, hoping I'd hear you play it all the way through, but didn't find it. Not long after viewing your video I found this guy - I think he does a pretty decent job. ruclips.net/video/ecug1Xidnbs/видео.html

Thank you!

Many thanks, Sharon!

Merci beau coup! Appreciate you watching.

Thanks for listening, Sharon!

Thanks!

You're very welcome!

I'll go along with that, Matt! ha-ha Yeah, gorgeous tune. Have you heard the Santana/McLaughlin version?

F7 is the 5 chord of B flat. The notes in F7 are f, a, c, e flat. So the "hinting" could consist of playing two or three or four of those F7 chord tones, and then return to playing the chord tones of the B flat chord (B flat Maj 7 = b flat, d, f, a; B flat 7 = b flat, d, f, a flat). If you're not familiar with what notes are in a certain chord, there are many videos online explaining how you can learn and memorize this information. Good luck and thanks for commenting!

Another way of looking at it: If you were to play a B flat Major 7 arpeggio (the notes are B flat, D, F and A), and you were to occasionally play C and E flat, those last two notes would be hinting at the 5 chord, F7. The C and the E flat are the 5 and flat 7, respectively, of the F7 chord. You could also realize that the C and E flat are the 9 and 11 of the B flat Major chord.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks, Sharon!

Many thanks, Mike! Yes, a gorgeous one for sure.

Thanks, Anton! We appreciate you watching and commenting.

Yes! You are so right. Thanks for watching and commenting.

We do! Consider making a video of your own, and help us out. (I'm serious.) Years ago, I had a Romanian teacher who was trying to convey the pure bossa beat to me. Mustn't have stuck! Appreciate you watching.

I don't play. But I will try to get someone to do this video.

Hope you can make it, Sharon!

Thank you, Sharon! I really appreciate your comments. See you tomorrow at the open mic/jam session? Hope so!

Thank you! 😃

Thanks, Anton! Yeah, I got a kick out of hearing Hoagy sing his tune 94 years back. And yes, I can see how solfege could be so helpful. I've been toying with snippets of popular melodies and their corresponding solfege syllables. Maybe by the time I'm 90, I'll actually be able to sight-sing! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

Thanks! Coming soon: melodic & harmonic analysis…& soloing ideas. For this same tune.

Hey, thanks so much! So glad you enjoy the videos. We have a ball making them, that's for sure.

Thanks! Just recently learned how to make PDFs so they should be coming soon. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thank you very much for your kind comment! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Many thanks!

Thank you, @paultiffany7629! Shall I send you my mailing address and color preferences? Ha-ha. Appreciate you watching and commenting, my friend!
