Hello RUclips Friends! I totally appreciate all of your views and comments. I've had numerous requests for the the backing track that I used for this video. I've now uploaded it on SoundCloud for your use and enjoyment. soundcloud.com/user-237374506/autumn-leaves-bk Thanks again and take care! Eddie
@@melodiclines2990 there are many great jazz guitar lessons all over RUclips that should be helpful for you. If I can be of help feel free to contact me at eddielastra@gmail.com 🙂
I only ever come back to this video to admire your dedication haha. Btw, you can find his contact info if you search up his name, but I don't know if he'll respond. Goodluck on those tabs.
Very well done! Your lead playing wasn’t overboard like I’ve seen some do. It fit the song quite well. Your first verse was beautiful too. Beautifully played!
There was time I thought I could not learn certain songs,until I learned jazz chords from a old man. I was so intrigued on how he played guitar that I made it a serious time to learn and listen. that I mastered the song the girl from Ipanema,and you talk about jazz Cords.I never did learn how to read music,,but I have a wonderful ear for it. I can listen to a song and I can learn how to play by ear.
Please prepare a tab for this song, i touches my soul. I need to play it. Maybe a video tutorial from a decent jazz guitar player like yourself? Anyway, great song and talent!
I can really hear those arpeggios you are playing in the improve stuff. Sounds really good. I am a big arpeggio guy playing neo-classical metal and trying to get more flavour out of them hence why I am trying to improve my Jazz playing skills. Just listening to you is helpful. Thanks!
When I hear and see someone play a beautiful jazz song like this, it makes me wish I didn't tell my first guitar teacher way back to stop pushing this stuff on me and get to the hair metal stuff already. Nice stuff!
As a metal fan myself, I am recently getting back into playing guitar after a long hiatus, and as much as I fancy Dokken, Def Leppard and the like, I have really gotten into jazz during my hiatus, and it calls to me. And both sound just fine played on a Les Paul. =)
I always hear this song when I'm in a bus from Dictrist 10 to Thu Duc Dictrist when I still study in University. Lots of memories with this song. Thanh you so much.
Very nice indeed. I've been reviewing several of your videos since I discovered you and one of the things I want to point out is the presence of what I refer to as a GOOD AMATEUR TONE. Now before you think that I am criticizing you, please take this as a compliment. Today's pro players record with such a plethora of digital sound enhancing effects in their signal chain as to make the entire instrument sound "artificial". It is very comforting to hear someone who is NOT recording in a mega million dollar studio, playing great tunes, with great technique, and an HONEST sound. Keep up the good work and please continue sharing your videos as they are wonderful!
Hey Big Al, thank you for your honest comments, I totally appreciate it. I usually wait until I feel I've made some progress before posting a new video. I've wanted my channel to be blog of my journey in my jazz music development through the years. I hope you've had a chance to view my most recent postings. Thanks again and best regards, Eddie
Hermosa canción Excelente interpretación sobretodo el solo Bastante melodico Pero con pasajes Armónicos bien Elaborados , definitivamente un Temazo ? La guitarra es un Bellísimo instrumento y se nota a lejos que Este caballero que La ejecuta la ha estudiado muchísimo un excelente guitarrista muchas Gracias AMIGO. MUCHAS BENDICIONES.........
Abuv Entertainment too many modes. Depends on what youre playing. But most of the time there are a ton of modes in one piece. Arpeggios are important too. Hitting sweet spots of chords in strong beats and doing notes that connect those sweet spots in weak beats is also important. Thats just without sustitutions or any of the other voicings like flat 9th, 11ths or whatever. So no, its not about just playing chromatic or melodic minor. Im learning jazz but Im no jazz fan or anything like that, so yeah, not trying to defend it like its "the hardest thing ever". But at a certain level it is.
The falling leaves drift by my window The falling leaves of red and gold I see your lips the summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall Since you went away the days grow long And soon…
Very nice…. I’m just starting into jazz guitar. I’ve been playing for over 25 years and I’m finally feeling like I’m mature enough to take that on thank you man.
Why are they blocking out the EPIPHONE name of this beautifully playing instrument. Epiphone guitars are amazing. well made, and have a long pedigree of being GREAT jazz guitars.
I don't think it's intentional, you can see it in his other videos. I'm actually having trouble understanding how such a cheap guitar can sound so good.
ruclips.net/video/YjKNa7-wKOc/видео.html Hi! ☺☺ If you want to listen to the masterpiece "Autumn Leaves" with guitar, you can reach it via the link..🍁🍁⚘⚘
Every chord can l;ead you to a different scale or pattern, just as you can play fundamental scales in the root. But I like what Gerorge Benson has said that it's more important to think of it like a sentense being spoken: learn phrases, not modes. Thought, learning modes certainly helps
The tone and technique are incredible. I know this is old, but some of the first solo chorus felt sort of too much like scale / arpeggio practice rather than actual jazz phrasing. It got better though and all around was a fantastic take! Good job :)

I've heard a zillion covers of this cool tune, but other than some modest chord changes I prefer this tempo and approach to this very satisfying piece of music that was made for the guitar
I've never seen anyone play jazz as well as you.This is the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life.Thank you very much for introducing me to this music.I hope ı can make music like you one day😊.
Hi Eddie - I'm Filipino based in the USA and glad you were referred to me by my friend in Indonesia Harif! You are an awesome guitarist! Love it! Mabuhay Kababayan!!! :) I just subscribed!!!
I've been watching so many tutorials lately that I ept waiting for you to stop playing and go into teaching mode LOL. Beautiful rendition! Absolutely beautiful.

Hi Eddie, listened to your video several times the last two weeks. I really like it. It made me decide to put a little bit more effort into jazz-guitar. Do you have any learning suggestions for me?
I feel really conflicted about this. It's hard to describe what I'm hearing, but it sounds kind of mechanical to me, like I can predict everything that's going to happen. It seems like it switches hard between a very simplistic melody where every note has the same amount of space in front and behind it, to a more complex and interesting melody where he does some interesting stuff with sweep picking, changing up the syncopation, and etc. In other words, it feels like there's not a middle ground between the two - it's either one or the other. Of course you have to have something simple and less complex to appreciate the stuff that does have complexity. But I guess I feel like the parts that are less complex are watered down perhaps a bit too much. Why not change the spacing between the notes a little bit, or swing it a little bit more in those parts? That's not to say that I didn't enjoy this arrangement overall, and this guitarist is clearly quite skilled. I just feel like perhaps he could've done the piece more justice with his skills, and made it a bit more interesting. But, it's also possible that I'm missing the point of jazz. Perhaps this is the ultimate expression of jazz guitar and I'm just too currently ignorant to understand it.
What you're noticing is the fundamental form of jazz. The main soloist plays the "head" of a piece which is generally the main written melody of a jazz standard like Autumn Leaves. It's usually simplistic, especially for old ones and often only notated with a single melody line and a chord progression. After the lead soloist plays the head, then the rhythm section plays their accompaniment again from the beginning, allowing the soloist to improvise on top of the chord progression of the original melody. That's why there is what feels like a sudden spike in complexity from the guitarist. At this point, there are several directions that could be taken for the song. The improvisation could be given to other members of the band like the drummer or bassist, the head could be played again by another band member, or an outro version of the head could be played. The formula had differed and been broken or rearranged depending on the band and style, but that's generally the fundamentals of it all.
Off the top it would be only fair to acknowledge that I also admire the arrangement and can't play guitar at this level of achievement, but with that admitted, what Lucas Mills is describing makes sense. There are parts that seem mechanical, less inspired, that don't have anything to do with not understanding the role of the "head" of the piece, the restating the melody, but do seem to my ear to be more memorized, with less free flowing playing. The comment, "Why not change the spacing between the notes a little bit, or swing it a little bit more in those parts?" is good advice, and we can all use that from time to time. Listen to Miles Davis or any of the jazz legends who used the melody of a song in many creative ways and the difference is apparent. It's not the imagination of Lucas Mills at work, just the truth. That said, the interpretation of the song stuck with me long enough that I remembered it years later and listened again, which also says something very positive about the playing of Eddie Lastra. It is a good jazz guitar sound and it makes me wonder what his set-up was for the song.
if you want to learn to play Jazz forget about tab, learn the concepts and some basic notation. Jazz is about what happens between the ears not what the hands are doing on the instrument.

Hi Eddie. Great interpretation! Do you have a transcript of the main tune? I really enjoyed the chords in between the phrases and some, and the way you played the B part of the tune. Regards!
Sergio Gabriel Velasquez Vasquez If you're looking for the melody and chords, Autumn Leaves is a well known jazz standard, you can find it on learnjazzstandards.com

The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

Hi! I played this song with guitar. If you want, you watch it from this link..🎶🎶⚘⚘🍁🍁
Hye
Please man, teach us this song. I loved it, i want a tutorial. Or i am going to write here everyday till you make a tutorial.
TheShotgunMarriage or how about you learn it by ear?:D
I tried but it is too complicated for my level. Those jazz chords are hard to figure out :(
That's a pity then/:
TheShotgunMarriage I'm working on a tutorial for this, will post it up soon
You saved many lives today sir. Thank you, can't wait for the tutorial.
Very well done! Your lead playing wasn’t overboard like I’ve seen some do. It fit the song quite well. Your first verse was beautiful too. Beautifully played!
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind comment ❤️

Sounds like a lot of guitarists! I personally prefer playing by ear as well. However, I did teach myself to read music.
Please prepare a tab for this song, i touches my soul. I need to play it. Maybe a video tutorial from a decent jazz guitar player like yourself? Anyway, great song and talent!
TheShotgunMarriage just transcribe u big baby
If you learn the arpeggios to the chords and some different voicings you could make it your own bro
It's improvised though, just learn the basics and figure out the rest
Learn the chords. Then learn different ways of playing them, to work with your improvisation
A guitarist named Paul Davids has a tutorial for this look it up :)
I can really hear those arpeggios you are playing in the improve stuff. Sounds really good. I am a big arpeggio guy playing neo-classical metal and trying to get more flavour out of them hence why I am trying to improve my Jazz playing skills. Just listening to you is helpful. Thanks!
When I hear and see someone play a beautiful jazz song like this, it makes me wish I didn't tell my first guitar teacher way back to stop pushing this stuff on me and get to the hair metal stuff already. Nice stuff!
hair metal is fun to play too, just a different style !
As a metal fan myself, I am recently getting back into playing guitar after a long hiatus, and as much as I fancy Dokken, Def Leppard and the like, I have really gotten into jazz during my hiatus, and it calls to me. And both sound just fine played on a Les Paul. =)

The beautiful sound of clean guitar Jazz
For a couple yeas now, I find myself coming back to this video every couple months. Wonderful playing Eddie!

Hermosa canción
Excelente interpretación sobretodo el solo
Bastante melodico
Pero con pasajes
Armónicos bien
Elaborados , definitivamente un
Temazo ?
La guitarra es un
Bellísimo instrumento y se nota a lejos que
Este caballero que
La ejecuta la ha estudiado muchísimo un excelente guitarrista muchas
Gracias AMIGO.
MUCHAS BENDICIONES.........
As a blues player when i solo over jazz i just add chromatic notes to blues scales lol
hahaha the way to go
Remember. No bending 😂😂
Jazz is pretty much pentatonic scales with chromatic notes added in on top. Either that or melodic minor
Abuv Entertainment too many modes. Depends on what youre playing. But most of the time there are a ton of modes in one piece.
Arpeggios are important too. Hitting sweet spots of chords in strong beats and doing notes that connect those sweet spots in weak beats is also important.

So no, its not about just playing chromatic or melodic minor. Im learning jazz but Im no jazz fan or anything like that, so yeah, not trying to defend it like its "the hardest thing ever". But at a certain level it is.
Do the chromatic scale
You can play anything
And it’s a high level technique
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon…
This is the version I come back for always
hermosa interpretación de las hojas muertas, me encanta el jazz.
Very nice…. I’m just starting into jazz guitar. I’ve been playing for over 25 years and I’m finally feeling like I’m mature enough to take that on thank you man.
@Steven Magliacane: Thank you and best wishes in your jazz guitar journey! 🎼🎶🎸
Beautiful, I had to do this song for my high schools jazz bass tryouts and it's one of my favorite jazz pieces
Beautiful!!! I used to play this on the piano. I love this song!!!! Even the name makes me feel all warm and cozy.
Nunca me cansaré de escuchar y apreciar la música jazz, EXCELENTE!!!
Beautiful - I like the way you stayed close to the melody even when improvising - and the tone of the guitar itself.
The poor guy waiting for tabs, I feel you man!
Excellent❤️素晴らしいテクニック&アレンジ…素敵です❤️
Great playing - you really have great feel and touch Eddie, I really enjoyed this

Nice job by the multi-talented Eddie Lastra! I knew him long before I knew he played guitar, so this is a real find for me.
Thank you Jeff! 🙋
I had no idea that Gustavo from Breaking Bad can play guitar so good

Franz Why in the show he actually listens to some guitar jazz when he invites walter for dinner
Congratulations you have just been nominated for comment of the decade. Dead, so dead, i could never be alive... Thank you

Would you believe that I was talking about my favorite jazz songs and that person didn't know that autumn leaves was a jazz standard? Great job btw!!
Thank you sir! Much appreciated 🙋
un trabajo muy fino de este musico muchas gracias por compartir
This sounds even more enjoyable at 2x speed.
Very clean melody and magic atmosphere 😁
Its been 10 yr ihope for all of you agood life and asweet memorys in your days
The neck really compliments that guitar , I haven’t seen many like that . Great job nonetheless
Very pleasant ‼️
Your arpeggios are fantastic! Very nice rendition, it's inspiring!
I'm so touched with this... It strikes my heart like lightning....
What if jazz guitarists turned out to be the biggest trolls and were just randomly playing notes during solos
If it sounds good who cares.
I think they actually are in a way. A lot of jazz, especially improv, involves just playing what you feel as it comes to you
Yeah; jazz = often too many notes. This has NOTHING to do with the original song (type autumn leaves Yves Montand)
I laughed. Thanks.
maybe you need an ear calibration :)
genio me hicste recordar la escuel de musica popular de berazategui..aprendiamos....este jazz...de cero..grande 1996aprox
so clean and very nicee.....
Oh how I wish I could play like that! Beautiful...absolutely beautiful.
This was my favourite piece of music when i was 3 years old ( I'm not kidding. I blushed and smiled everytime I heard it)
