Thanks Andy for this really great approach to teaching that you have. I've been playing a long time now and know my way around the fretboard reasonably well. I played in a lot of rock bands in the 80s and 90s but always loved and wanted to play jazz. So one day I went to a guitar teacher that was really good, a Jazz dude 100%. He played Autumn Leaves while I blazed away with all sorts of bullshit, chromatic everything, bending notes, mystery diminished rubbish, some pick squeals, I wouldn't be surprised if i slipped a Tap in. I didn't have a clue what i was doing. And It didn't sound like Jazz. It sounded like shit. He stopped me and said, "Ok, we're gonna go back in time " The first thing he did was teach me to count properly. Then made me sing any lead or solo. That really slowed me down. Thanks mate for being patient enough to go through the basics. Also, that Gibson sounds beautiful, What model / year is it?
Great story! I think a lot of people experience similar things when getting into jazz from other styles. The guitar is a Gibson Super V from 1991. It's like a hybrid model that has features of a super 400 and the L5.
@@jazzguitarwithandy Thanks for the info on the guitar, I was curious because it has the same tailpiece as my Howard Roberts fusion that i think was made around 95 or so. Love your work Andy. Cheers.
That's something I'll cover in the future. For me a big part of playing over changes is just getting really used to the chord progression in question (internalising the sound of it). As a result I've deliberately kept the progression the same for each episode.
In this episode we look at introducing other elements to make the chord tones standout that bit more. Let me know if you have any questions 🤔

Best series, please keep this going👍🏼
Don't worry - I will :)
Thanks!
Thank you! That’s greatly appreciated 🙏
great video! thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Very helpful- but it would be so much more instructive if there would be two chords per bar. What do you do then if playing quarter notes ?
