Great video! I'll share this with my students! One more option would be a combination of #1 and #5, for example (in the key of C major): Cmaj7, A7, Dm7, G7 with a G pedal bass throughout.
You could do like you were saying with pedaling the V chord for a while, or, every two measures, hold out the same chord a half step above. You can alternate between the two so that the last V chord lands close to the start of the head, or just a simple ii-V-I 2 bars V, 2 bars V raised a half step, 2 bars V, 2 bars raised a half step, 1 bar V, 1 bar I-IV-ii-V and then head. Thanks for the video!
I like to play the ending chords from Night and Day-start on the tri-tone chord and then descend chromatically to the ii then bII. Many ways to vary the chords in this progression also.
I know it's an hackneyed cliché, but I often like to play an improvised rubato version of the bridge. The audience thinks, "I've heard that, but I can't quite place it." Then, when you play the head, they think, "Oh yeah! Of course!"
really love the videos, one thing I wish i could see more of what your hands are doing, i sometimes play guitar and being able to see your left hand as well as what your right hand is doing can be a huge help here!
Many of the standards have intros written into them. These have a different structure from the song itself and many have lyrics Two examples would be Over the Rainbow and I left my heart in San Francisco. In the old days many songs were written like that but today the intros are left out so folks don’t recognize the song right off until you get to the head. It becomes a nice surprise at a show and I love playing these tunes.
love this and thaks for sharing! just a note, it would be great if we could see the whole neck of the guitar and you left hand. maybe just zoom out a bit with your camera of place it a bit further away. the way it is placed now it is impossible to see some of the stuff you are showing...
another classic: # V 7 (b5) IV min 7 III min 7 b III dim. II min 7 V7 I V7 I also like hunting down the most interesting harmonic moment (often somewhere in the bridge) and making a two bar loop out of that or even developing it further into my own, original 'composed intro.'
Love'n it Thx! Jim Hall, John Pissano use these?! Hall's "The Way You Look Tonight" Montreaux 1976 one of all time favorite lead-ins. Like these techniques when play at dinner club, where you're quietly telling audience to please STFluke up, next set starting!
One method was demonstrated in the music in the background but you didn't mention it: kick off with the bass and drums playing the simple I iv ii V or the roots of the chord progression
Hey man, do you not sure if you have this yet or not. But do you mind sharing your story about how you started? And what are some good resources you recommend?
My personal favourite (in C): |F#m7b5 Fm7|Em7 Ebo7|Dm7 Db7|CM7 G7alt| A similar concept can be used as an ending. Got this from Blue Mitchell's ending on It Could Happen to You: ruclips.net/video/MdOfe_b0ZKU/видео.html
@@Learnjazzstandards There was an instructional video him teaching uploaded on youtube many years ago, in the same video he says "welcome to my guitar clinic...makes me sound like a doctor or something..."
Great ideas here, very helpful. Your chord melody end on the first ATTYA was sweet, I'm stealing it... 😎. Off subject slightly, I can't quite make out what the guitar is and are you playing slightly amped or just straight into the mic? It's a really nice round sound with just the right amount of growl. I like it, Thank You...!
Hey Donald, steal away! Its an Ibanez Artcore. I have it plugged directly into my audio interface with just a bit of reverb added in post-production, and likely a little bit of acoustic getting picked up from my mic.
Quite useful! I taught for a while, but it came clearer that... you need to find things to BE. Cn't teach it, just scratch their itch a bit and let fly. Everyone good taught themselves... either alone (which sounds like it) or jamming, with a partner, HIGHLY recc;d by me. Almost lost me real early though - the plural of "blues" is "blues" not... BLUESES?! I was playing blueses when camping, I saw some deerses....
Favourite 2 chord vamp for intros/outros is Imaj7, and then that whole chord but down one tone, with whatever other extensions you want. Can be rubato or on tempo it's always fun to move between the two chromatically.
Any other intros to suggest? Share them below.
0:59
Play the bridge and last A in rubato, pretending it's an intro but actually you're just trying to remember the chords and melody :D
Lol!
7 ways to end a jazz standard? Also, great video!
William Schwartzman +1 on this!
Hearing you loud and clear!
Gotcha! Glad you found it helpful.
Good suggestion
Hey William, we have that video now! ruclips.net/video/WFGZsW29GAg/видео.html&t
This SO practical!! Feel like you're taking us "behind the curtain"...
Happy to help!

I shout “join in if you know it”
Haha!
I've always dug a short drum solo to kick a tune off

Man that Ibanez sounds great!
I needed this. The suggestion of one for endings is a good one too.
Glad to help Steve! Thanks for the suggestion
So many things that we may hear, but not everyone can verbalize - great video! :)
Thank you really helpful

I bet intro #3, the 2 chord vamp, would work well for Monk's "Well You Needn't" since it also starts with an F7 to F#7.
Great stuff. Really well explained to starters like me.
Happy to help Alf!
i like going between I and dim maj 7, or running up Barris 6ths and the I
Nice!
Thanks Master. Very clear.
Glad to help Ivan!
First one immediately reminded me of “feels so good”-chuck mangione😂

Hi Brent, great site and podcast. I've already learned a ton in the last few days. Keep it up!

Gotcha thanks for the feedback Kresimir!
Learn Jazz Standards superb channel really. Looking forward to your future videos!
Loved it. Cheers
The Andalusian cadence works well for a minor key: Imaj7-bVIImaj7-bVImaj7-V7-im. Lots of variations on I-VI-II-V such as iii-bIII7-ii-BII7-I.
You help me a lot to order my ideas! Thanks for watching.
Glad you found it helpful!

Jim Hall- can't beat it
Very useful lesson! Thanks
Man , this is so useful. Thank you !!
cool video, lots of information
Super great info!
Muy bueno. Muchas gracias.
what instrument?
Great sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Brent, Love the sound of your guitar. Ibanez, but what model and approximate cost ? also what amp. are you using?
La intro de all the things you are corrida. Un clásico.
Excellent
Thank you for this and everything you do.. Great stuff
Thanks my pleasure!
"Ok guys, it's a Blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and try to keep up"
Saucy Shreds your not ready for that. But your kids are going to love it

Well done.

Hey Rudy, thanks for the suggestion! Will consider doing a video like that in the future.
@@Learnjazzstandards awesome!
the licc
Great video! Good tutorial, well produced. I'm just starting my own channel and came across yours. Keep up! just subbed
Glad you found it helpful!
Great! Congrats.
Or you could write your own unique intro!
Love it Gabriel!
There are only so many things you can do, chances are most things you could come up with would involve the techniques in this video to some degree
Jerrod Shack that is true
Great work man...
Thanks Emmanuel!
Awesome sound! Which kind of guitar do you use?
My personal favourite (in C):
|F#m7b5 Fm7|Em7 Ebo7|Dm7 Db7|CM7 G7alt| A similar concept can be used as an ending. Got this from Blue Mitchell's ending on It Could Happen to You:
ruclips.net/video/MdOfe_b0ZKU/видео.html
That’s great Duncan! That’s also essentially the chord progression from Night and Day
I subscribed how do I get it in tab thanks
Thanks for subscribing Soraia! I don't do tabs for my content, especially since my stuff is for all instruments and not just guitar.
Really nice !!!
Useful
Thank you
Joe Pass said that intros and outros really tell where one is at ie the level of playing.
Interesting never heard that quote before, really cool!

Learn Jazz Standards thank you, it sounds great...!
V pedal
8 last measures
Half step above the first measures
HI also pos, 2b, 3b, 7b, 6b to 5+ or 513

You sound great
Thanks Houssem
Could you provide tabs for these? I can only see the top of your left hand. Thanks!
How do we choose the 2 chords for vamp intro?
Intro #5 looks like Rhythm Changes is that right?
just end cold on the tonic
where is the print copy of the blog?
every pianist has to know the A train intro!
What about just improvising whatever you feel in the moment?
cool stuff!!
God loves you!!!!
Thanks!
Atum leaves intro
Hi im from México i can understend a few, great video, thaks!
Glad to have you here Roberto!
Good stuff! As somebody who practices alone with jam tracks 90% of the time, this aspect of music (intros/outros) gets overlooked.
Backing tracks can be good tools, but they do have their pit falls!
is that pick black or brown with a red point?
What’s the name of the first intro music to videos?
hey, what amp are you useing ?
No amp for my videos, I just plug directly into my audio interface and add a bit of reverb in ProTools
Aaaannd you got a sub.
Favourite 2 chord vamp for intros/outros is Imaj7, and then that whole chord but down one tone, with whatever other extensions you want. Can be rubato or on tempo it's always fun to move between the two chromatically.
Sevren different ways
First time I ever saw All The Things.....in Bb. 'Specially in a RealBook
Vince Long different keys for different instruments; C (guitar), Bb (trumpets), Eb (sax), etc.
Passa a harmonia da música, lats face the music and dance.. by Diana Krall?
mor fatter strings!!!! are those from piano?
Barney Kessel
Intro of só what, acknowledgment, blue bossa...
Ibanez Artcore?
Yes indeed!
Vsus4 - II- V- I
Some times it works very well but it’s not always applicable.
Thanks for the vid i subbed
Bossa Nova
Blueses :p
👍👍
jazz is hard
use the v chord loool
If I need an intro I play the bridge.
That could be an option!
Great video but the plural of blues is not ‘blueses’ (bit like saying sausageses), and there is no such verb as ‘introducts’
Thank u captain obvious ;) (no offense)
Perhaps obvious to you, but not so obvious to everybody ;)
Very very bad video, the guitar fretboard can’t hardly be seen. Not everyone reads music.
