I bought this lesson last year and worked on it. I have been watching Tal Farlow lately and was thinking, I really need something to play to up that kind of thing under my fingers. This is it. Tal so effortlessly plays stuff just like this. A perfect companion to this lesson would be a rhythm changes! This one lesson improved my playing so much. Thank you!
Loving these lessons! I'm staying with these jazz blues lesson for a while until I can cope with the more intricate lessons. So BIG THANK YOU 😊 I'm so grateful to have found you!
5:58...."That ain't workin' "! I love it! Not only do you speak flawless English, you throw in some idiomatic phrases! Perfect choice for a blues lesson. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. As always I enjoy your presentation, and I learned some new variations on blues progressions.
Thanks for another great lesson Sandra. I've been playing guitar for a long time and I have become stale, stuck in a rut. I stumbled upon your sighting you have changed how I approach the instrument radically. I was thinking I was done with guitar a few months back and started selling off instruments and amps. Now I'm putting the money towards an Epiphany Sheraton and branching out through your lessons into this jazz blues style and other jazz guitar. Thank you so much from a very grateful Irishman. Grrrrreetings from New Zealand.
+Remley awesome! Make sure to understand and learn by heart the basic jazz blues first (the chords I've written within the video). That makes it a lot easier to understand all those chords in between. Good luck and enjoy!
Ich habe die Lesson vor einem Jahr gekauft und nun wieder hervor gekramt. Nun versuche ich die Strategie hinter den Chords innerhalb der Takte zu verstehen. Für Bb in Bar 1 ist mir das noch klar: I - IIm - #dim von C - I/III aber dann hört es auch schon auf.
Thanks Mark, Yes, that's exactly why I see the need to fill the gap 😊. Also I like the Minor Blues so much more than the regular dominant Blues. That bVI degree is the perfect surprise in a minor progression.
Very nice. I am learning so much. May I ask how you would play at faster tempos? Fewer chords? Also, I play an Ibanez Artcore AF85. Do you have any suggestions about setting up my guitar? Pedals? Compression and reverb? Please, keep up the good work. And, how about some basic arranging for small ensemble, trio or larger? Thanks.
For faster tempos definitely play less chords and also less strums! Don't use a compressor pedal for reaktionen jazz. Reverb is good. Some spring reverb, plate or room reverb , about 1-1.5 seconds. Check out my jazz gear video from a couple of weeks back.
Oh, so many different at the moment. I've been playing the small jazz 3 (red one) for ages, but always felt it was way to thin. So I've been searching for a same sized pick, that's 2-3mm thick. I am in the process of testing. So far acrylic picks are my favorite, but they have different shapes. A package from gravity picks is on my way. Let's see what those guys have. I also very much like the Ernie Ball Prodigy 2mm Mini pick (white), which I use on most of my new videos. They have the perfect size and thickness, but just are not as smoothly gliding through the strings as acrylic ones. I'll make a test video in the new year and let you all know what I think about jazz picks.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I've been having the same issue, would love see what's your conclusion on that matter. Thanks again! Keep on the good work!
I think it's better to refer to pioneers as Eddie Lang ,Carl Kress , Dick Mac Donough , Allen Reuss , Barry Galbraith , Freddie Green , Ranger Doug , George Van Eps , Jimmy Wyble , Charlie Christian and in my heart place Wes Montgomery ( "plays the Blues " ) without forgetting piano players .It's almost too much wider as Music is infinite and when John Pizzarelli plays Route 66 it's jazz guitar blues beyond our dreams . Those 12 bars are a real challenge .
I am retarded. No not really! But I might as well be. I simply can not learn from an online instructor I will give you a chance though. Usually and for the last 47 years I teach myself. I purchased my first guitar in 1971. I enjoy guitar and I would like to learn from others. I will give you a second listen. I just can not abide the naming of notes and chords, it just turns me completely off. I studied Violin with Nina Chemolev starting in 1971 (no I can't spell her last name) she was a Juliard SChool of Music Graduate, 5th. in her class. In my first years she said I did two years of work. I can read and play Classical Violin music. Maybe because I am so used to playing single notes and finding the notes with my hearing, maybe that's why I get lost when someone presents "Chords", but yes I certainly have learned a few chords and in multiple positions on the guitar. It's just seems a lot like Mathematics to me and that just gives me the wrong feelings and that's why I find it so difficult to learn from others. Or maybe I really am stupid. Oh, I play my guitars every day and every night. So I am enjoying music very much. Music is my life. I have a good Jazz guitar, a Guild Newark Street A-150 Savoy-Blond. It has a pick up that is attached onto the end of the fretboard. The pickup is not cut into the top plate of the guitar, hence it is also a pure accustick Archtop Hollowbody guitar. It only has a volume control. The lower bout is 17-1/2" but the thickness is around 4-7/8" not as thick as some guitars. -Peter
PeterDad60 Hi Peter, well everyone is different. And everyone has their own way of learning and understanding. I have students, who completely rely on their hearing, while others have to visualize what they're doing. You can try to learn the tune by 1) Listen to the tune as often as you need to memorize the chord movement and the chord qualities. In other words, you hear what's next, but can't name it. 2) Simply study where to put your fingers. If you hear where the next chord needs to be, you won't need the names. I don't reconnect going solely by ear, but if you're comfy and used to that, why not.
Good advice Sandra. I will follow it. I listen to Jazz Radio every night from Murphysville near nashville Tennessee while in my bed and play along on my guitar. I like it when it's really dark and I can not see anything. Then I follow my hearing and my feelings. From what I hear, a lot of older Jazz and Blues played by black Americans used simple bar chords and maybe two note chords. They played a lot of single note "riffs" mostly. Of course this does not describe everyone from way back then. Maybe just the players who I find their music emotionally moving and energetic.
Sandra, my wife is now sleeping in our other bedroom at my request because she has severe sleep apnea. She snores very loud, I can hear her through the wall. I can't sleep in the same room as her now. When I do, she hugs me and snores in my ear and I awake thinking a bear is killing me - perfect for a heart attack. So I ask her to sleep apart from me. I don't like it, but now I can sleep in peace! A few years back I used to play my Indian Sarod during the night in bed. It can be played at bedtime and sleep volumes as it is acoustic. Juliana (my wife) always told me it calmed her down and she had a better night sleep. I can only play that instrument in the summer, because the winter is too cold and the wooden tuning pegs seize in their holes, as do the wooden pegs on my violins. So I play guitar in bed with and without amplification. My Guild is actually loud and so I never amplify it during the night. I play an Epiphone Casino, a hollowbody electric guitar that has a narrow body. The Major Chords can be loud when strummed with vigor even acoustically! The individual notes are perfect, loud enough to hear and articulate in a Jazz piece. It has round wounds but still has good tone. I play all day long, with many breaks, using amplifiers in our living room. Which I have turned into my Studio. But at night I want to play acoustic Jazz to the radio. I always fall asleep and wake up several times with the guitar on my chest every night. Sometimes I can even play a little in my sleep. I am trying to accomplish that because it means I do not need to think about my playing, I just play by feeling. So yes I am a good boy at age 68. Music is my life. I think you are "swell"! That means I think only good thoughts about you because I appreciate the kind of human being you are. That's the Artist in me talking, I am a painter. -Peter

Yea! My week is complete, a new lesson from Sandra Sherman! I'll be working on this all weekend. Thanks so much.

Sandra U R Really Awesome
Aaawwwhh, that's sweet, thank you ❤️
Love it! Very well explained. (PS.Never seems that many Minor Blues Bebop Swing lessons on youtube(?) or maybe I'm wrong..)
Thanks Mark,
Yes, that's exactly why I see the need to fill the gap 😊. Also I like the Minor Blues so much more than the regular dominant Blues. That bVI degree is the perfect surprise in a minor progression.
Great lesson! I see you took my advice! Good for you! Now I need to know how to dye my hair like you? I think I would look good. LOL
Rommel43 Do it! But I want to see a picture of proof, lol.
Very nice. I am learning so much. May I ask how you would play at faster tempos? Fewer chords? Also, I play an Ibanez Artcore AF85. Do you have any suggestions about setting up my guitar? Pedals? Compression and reverb? Please, keep up the good work. And, how about some basic arranging for small ensemble, trio or larger? Thanks.

Don't use a compressor pedal for reaktionen jazz. Reverb is good. Some spring reverb, plate or room reverb , about 1-1.5 seconds.

Great transmission in here ! Will turn off my fuzz for a while...
You mean your fuzz pedal?
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Yes, the pedal ! but still wear my fuzz jacket 'cause it's -11°c here...
tell me in a beautiful arrangement "I Wanna Be Loved By You"
+Max Myasnikov LOL. Do you mean that song, that Marilyn Monroe sang?
Yes! this is the song of Merilyn Monroe. I would like to see a jazz arrangement
How do these passing chords work? I'd love to know
I'm not exactly sure which passing chords you mean.
Hey Sandra I'd like to know what kind of pick do you actually use when you play jazz music? Thanks
Oh, so many different at the moment. I've been playing the small jazz 3 (red one) for ages, but always felt it was way to thin. So I've been searching for a same sized pick, that's 2-3mm thick.

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I've been having the same issue, would love see what's your conclusion on that matter. Thanks again! Keep on the good work!
I'd been wondering about the shape of your pick.
I play the snail jazz 3 shape. Looky, I made a jazz pick shootout video a while ago.

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks Sandra.
It don´t mean a thing, if it ain´t got that swing.... du a du a duadua dua ... !!!! :D
Dudab di da, shoobie doobie dooh 😁
I think it's better to refer to pioneers as Eddie Lang ,Carl Kress , Dick Mac Donough , Allen
Reuss , Barry Galbraith , Freddie Green , Ranger Doug , George Van Eps , Jimmy Wyble ,

without forgetting piano players .It's almost too much wider as Music is infinite and when
John Pizzarelli plays Route 66 it's jazz guitar blues beyond our dreams . Those 12 bars

how much do you charge for the tabs?
I don't know by heart. But it should be written next to the Paypal link. It's usually between $ 1.25 and 1.99.
