    Many years ago I was briefly in a standards trio where the singer played cello. We arranged this song so that the cello played the melody at the start of the song, with guitar and electric piano playing the harmony, and then switched the melody to guitar with the cello playing the bass part. You never get tired of this melody and the way it joins up the chords. 🍂

    I remember learning Autumn leaves from your channel like 2 or 3 years ago and here we are again another beautiful arrangement. Back in that time I had a drive to learn newer chords and now I try and learn everything by ear in order to find little chords and melodies to add into my own recipes I've come a long way yet I cannot miss your videos

    At 15:59 “I didn’t really think about the chords [ when I was nutting it out]” then went on to say you used theory to describe or explain what you were doing. I have heard this before as the roll theory has in communicating to others what has been an intuitive process. Very helpful for my approach to playing guitar and communicating with others, such as in a musical group setting of in helping others to learn.
