If you’d like to learn more about this tune, then on my Patreon page there is a solo guitar arrangement, comping study and x2 solos to learn! Let me know if you have any questions regarding this lesson. Best wishes, Andy

Dear Andy, thank you for your very helpful channel. I’m a fan and i feel I have evolved my jazz playing with your great videos. Now that I praised you, I think I can also lay some constructive criticism, play more!!!! Always start your videos with you playing what you’re about to demonstrate. It would be a great incentive to watch the rest of the video.
There’s even some videos where you don’t even play!!!
That said, all the best and keep feeding our jazz guitar hunger 😊

Thanks for taking the time with your comment. I think that's a very fair comment - I think sometimes I forget to think about the balance between playing and talking. Or maybe showing the end result at the start might be a better way to structure a video. I'll give it some thought for future videos :)

I certainly enjoy your lessons. Thanks.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks for all you do. Also, the editing and production in your videos lately has been amazing.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you like the editing, I've been trying to work on that element of video creation lately.

Nice lesson. On Patreon do you provide also Guitar Pro files?

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks - I don't use Guitar Pro, I use Sibelius. Tabs/notation is via PDF.
