- In today's lesson I'm going to talk about the key to playing solo jazz guitar which lines in the most important part of a tune: the melody. We will cover how to learn a melody, then ways that we can build up our melody to create a solo guitar piece.

Thank you for your support!
Dear Nathan This is a outstanding lession that shows the right way to do it right. Great Thank you very much…oli
Great teaching as always, Nathan!
Great lesson. I’ve been playing this tune as a chord melody given to me by the great unsung player, Remo Palmieri, who played on several of Charlie Parker & Dizzy’s earliest recordings. Remo had impeccable taste and was a harmony master.
Love the lesson, Nathan! Thanks for the great content. Definitely some applicable information in here too for approaching some Wes Montgomery style chord soloing. Appreciate it!
Thanks Jonathan! Really appreciate your support! Yes, defiantly could help with Wes stuff!
This is a great video. On my channel I post solo jazz performances and was tinkering with doing a similar lesson.. you’ve already nailed it and I even picked up some cool ideas that in the last 20 years I just hadn’t really thought about much! Well done and thank you!!
Thanks Nathan, nice simple breakdown and useable ideas for practice and performance!
Thanks Aidan! Really appreciate it!
Merci pour ce cours si important pour pouvoir s'amuser en improvisant 😊
great Jazz lesson super jazz with great use of enclosures and jazz vocab and tools thanks an example is one of the best tools for teaching .
Showing is always a good thing to do!
Hello Nathan and thank you. Yes, more concepts about solo jazz guitar would be appreciated.
Love your lessons. Thank you
Glad you like them! Thank you :)
This is excellent. Thanks a big help for a beginners journey.
Glad it was helpful!
I know this lesson is a bit longer than normal, but I think playing a melody (like we covered in the lesson) is a huge step forward to playing in this style! Also I apologize for not listing the swing rhythms, that was a mistake! They are just the ones played in the etude instead of the roots. If you want more ideas for swing rhythms, check out my lesson on that topic: ruclips.net/video/XRc7Vp-F1gE/видео.html
Many thaks Nathan, this is really a great lesson!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Nice, thanks for making this series
Glad you enjoy it!
This is really excellent Nathan - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it helped you!
excellente pédagogie avec des indications très claires, sans esbrouffe inutile .on progresse pas à pas en prenant son temps, bref du très haut niveau .bravo et un grand merci pour ce travail de qualité.
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words!
Thanks so much for this lesson, Nathan! Now I know how to sound terrible while I play solo guitar.
Glad to help!!!
Great start. I'd love to see more on solo guitar as I've been pursuing it. I can do "chord melody style" for the heads, but the improvisation has been difficult. Your videos helpful on this aspect.
You can do it! Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks Nathan! Beautiful lesson as always! Solo jazz guitar will be my challenge for next months... 👍🏼
Thanks bob!! Hope this lesson helped you!
Thank you to share your knowledge and applying it to a standard, really good job 😎
My pleasure!
A super lesson, thank you 🙏
Thank you! 😃
Exactly! Find a vocal version of the song to learn melody. My go to is usually Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole
Same here, Johnny Mathis and Ella Fitgerald are great for that too.
Yes! Chet baker is a solid choice too imo. Generally slower renditions
i love the lesson! pls post more on chord melody stuffs !
Thanks!!
very well broken down concepts, thanks! wondering if you have any other lessons like this where you break down a tune. If not, will you be making more?
I do have other lessons breaking down tunes, but not like this one in terms of solo guitar. I some videos covering Stella By Starlight, Boliva, Confirmation and Donna Lee... for what I can remember! I'll try and make more solo guitar videos in the future!
Great video. I highly recommend the book by Ted gioia "jazz standards" it's a compendium that shares the history couple hundred standards. Fun book to browse and learn some jazz history
Love that book!
Perfect
Hope the lesson helped you!

Just great teaching style. First the bass, then a chord ....then harmonize the melody etc ... 💙 . Just curious, did you learn in this fashion? 🤔
Of course you have gone on to do a MBA I suppose.
But there's something about your teaching which is so demystifying, yet brief!
Congratulations 🎊 on very accomplished instruction.
Thanks so much for those kind words Alex! :) I learned from my mentor Randy Napoleon in a very similar way. Also just transcribed Joe Pass a lot haha
What do you playing by yourself when it comes to the solo?
Good ideas and language! If you watch some of my other solo guitar videos I think I talk about ways you can solo when its just you. Call and response with chords works well
Merci !
Wow! Thanks Yanick! I very much appreciate that!! If you would like send me your email and I'll send you some of my instructional PDF's (if you would like)?
Not bad. You covered most stuff. One thing you left out however which most jazz professionals agree with is the importance of knowing the words. Knowing the words can help you with syncopation, it can help you figure out tricky melodies that are not falling right on the beat and mostly will help you develop your own style
Totally agree! I did link an early recording of this song which is of course a vocal song. I was assuming that the learn would learn it from that recording, and just because of the time it would take, they would learn the lyrics by listening. That's at least how it works for myself. I also focus more on the syllables of the words than the actual words (expect for meaning). This, in my opinion, helps more with phrasing than memorizing lyrics. Thanks for your comment!
