Your intro is great. It is the kind of music I have always search for in learning jazz/blues guitar. It swings. Thanks for posting the chords that make this tune easier to understand. I look for melodic jazz lectures. It was Kenny Burrell that I found to be the most melodic super-jazz guitarist that I started to listen. I also search for a teacher who's willing to teach solos in tunes to help me learn the structure of improvisation. Looking forward to hear the other 9 parts of your lessons. SL
Wish I had the time to explain and teach I just don't have the will to repeat things hi hi. Thank you for helping people to learn something that no one will ever know everything about I think that is one of the things that keeps everyone wanting to learn more. You are a great teacher and have a special way of putting it across without confusing your students. Thank you again for all your time and planning
NOTE: I realized I had played the wrong 2 notes after I posted this video some time ago. The original riff as pointed out by many is G and C instead of C and E (which also works). My apologies...That's what happens when you don't play a tune for 10 years and then attempt to play it from memory with no leadsheet just because it has only 2 notes...it's inexcusable, I know...Duke must be rolling over in his grave....this cat can't even get 2 notes right🙂 PLEASE CHECK OUT THE REVISED LESSON HERE: ruclips.net/video/OgL34vsRv70/видео.html
“It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note - it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.”Thanks for this video. Those simple, clean voicings are reminiscent of Kenny Burrell's 'Night at the Vanguard' album. It's easy to get lost in a thick swarm of secondary dominants. The simple stuff gives you a lot of room to breathe.
Thanks Ritchie.I really appreciate the time and effort gone into your tutorial.Got me into jazz now,I'm sure my head will ache!Great sound and love your style of teaching.
Always great. Thank you. I want to point out that in your playing you played G Bflat E without C, and you did not use your little finger. You described C-G-Bflat-E with your little finger on E. Great riff.
Yes, I teach it differently than when I play it because most are familiar with the conventional root on 4th string/ 4 part dominant. Check out the revised lesson here: ruclips.net/video/OgL34vsRv70/видео.html
I haven't included "Carnegie Blues" in my list. Can you please recommend a good version to listen to? Don't have any recordings of it, nor can I find it in any Fake books...
Possibly not "easy" Jazz Blues but I love the lazy head. Not too many versions on youtube, best may be a live recording by the Duke himself. Other than that I'd recommend Kenny Burrell's album "Ellington Is Forever" which includes a blues medley starting with "Carnegie Blues".
Oh...I have "Ellington is Forever"...I guess the title "Carnegie Blues' never registered. Let me give it a listen to refresh my memory. Anything by Ellington is precious!
What kind of pickups you got in that 575?... Actually I’d be interested in knowing what string gauge and amp you are using as well. I just can’t seem to get that wonderful tone.
Can anyone please name me some of the well known guitarists/pianists who play jazzy blues? THX!!

Why do some versions have C, F, C, C or C, C, F, C as the first four measures instead of C, C, C, C? I do not understand the theory behind how C and F can be swapped with each other.
Yup...you caught it! I realized I had played the wrong 2 notes after I posted it some time ago. That's what happens when you don't play a tune for 10 years and then attempt to play it from memory with no leadsheet just because it has 2 notes...it's inexcusable, I know...Duke must be rolling over in his grave....this cat can't even get 2 notes right🙂 I will post a note for everybody to see with the correction before someone else calls me out on it...
I really like richie, he is so inspiring. Thank you for all your knowledge given freely.

Can you please name some musicians who play jazzy blues ? Thx

Thanks Mick! I recommend you take the jazz pill for the headache. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/4xCl9ccKBp4/видео.html
Wasn't sure about this but found that I not only enjoyed your presentation I learned something. Thank you!
Great! Learning something is the bottom line... Thx for the feedback..it encourages me to keep posting these lessons.
Great! Thank you!
Hallo Richie , I donot find the Easy Jazz Blues Guitar Series on your web site ? thank you for your help
thank you!!! great playing and channel
Thanks Leo!

Richie, I love your lessons and also that very cool lid that you wear! Where can I find a similar one?
Thanks...that hat was hand woven by a woman in Cuzco in the Peruvian Andes...over 20 years ago :)
Great! Can't wait for the other parts in this series - meanwhile hoping it will include "Carnegie Blues" ,-)
I haven't included "Carnegie Blues" in my list. Can you please recommend a good version to listen to? Don't have any recordings of it, nor can I find it in any Fake books...

That's a humbucker in a P-90 case Brandonwound (neck) and Lollar P-90 (bridge). Use 13 gauge flatwounds and a Henriksen jazz amp.
Can anyone please name me some of the well known guitarists/pianists who play jazzy blues? THX!!
Wes Montgomery / Miles Davis' Kind of Blue / Duke Ellington
Tunes:
Chitlins con Carne - Kenny Burrell

Bessie's Blues
Followed you. A quick bar C13 Is at the 8th fret. You know this I'm sure ..put the pinky on the 10th fret B string (A Note) voila a easy C13.
Why do some versions have C, F, C, C or C, C, F, C as the first four measures instead of C, C, C, C? I do not understand the theory behind how C and F can be swapped with each other.
They are simply variations that are commonly used to create more harmonic motion and color.
How can u really learn with all these words on the desk
What words on what desk? There is no desk or words...
Nice lesson, but chord diagrams would be very helpful.
No problem for me. :)
Well ... I believe the two notes of the riff are G and C ...

Hello Richie, The link above to the notation, tabs & MP3 is not valid. It doesn't take me to the section for the C Jam Blues. Great video though. :)
