This lesson follows on from last time. What do you guys think of working with less to be able to really focus on what you are playing? Check the description for a link to the pdf 🎸
Those three lessons are just what I needed. As someone who has some expirience with the gutiar, but jazz soloing is black magic to me - this is awesome. And i appreciate the format, feels like weekly lessons. As always, thank you for your great work!
This approach is so great. I wasted years just playing scales and modes and bad books and teachers who concentrated at playing at the nut first. Lousy approach. Not musical and made it all much harder. Eventually, I taught myself to move up near the octave just to play melody lines. Wish I'd seen this 6 years ago. Great stuff, Andy.
Glad you like it Don. There's a difficult balance to be had between learning the fretboard and then actually being able to turn that into melodies/music!
I've been working on learning Jazz and your videos have helped me getting the hang of beginner standards like Take the A Train and All of Me, I left Autumn Leaves behind for a bit now after getting half passable but I guess it's time to work on getting better. Please keep it up!
Glad to hear it. I think you never stop learning how to solo over these tunes, it's good you are enjoying working with what you currently know. Over the next couple of months I include the following standards: All the things you Are, Night in Tunisia, Lady be Good, How high the moon and My Funny Valentine. Listen to as many versions as you can!
Thanks for the comment David. I'm glad you like them. That's a good idea for a follow up to these series of videos, I'll add that to my video ideas list!
Hi Andy, Loving the Autumn Leaves lessons, right at my level. Not so much the video production though, too dark and suffering transition effect overload :)
Hi Howard, glad you are finding them helpful! re the darkness: Yes, this was one of the first videos I made with a new light. I've thankfully gotten more used to it, but have ordered another one to make it brighter, so bear with me. I'm learning that there's a lot to lighting to really get it right with video.

You are a really really good teacher.
And yes, I think that working with less is more, particularly adding a chromatic.
Thanks Joe. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Top tips.
Glad you think so!
Thanks for these lessons, Andy. I am revisiting these tunes and it turns out there is so much I still need to learn.
Tell me about it! There's so much to learn! It's funny how you think you know a standard, but really we never stop learning how to play over changes.
Great lesson, the perfect follow on. Thank you so much for explaining the basics. Just what I need. Guy
You're welcome Guy - thanks for the comment. Once you've practiced these you might want to check out my video on chord tones too.
These are a godsend, thank you!!
Glad to hear it Evan!
These videos are superb - thank you so much! Would you please consider creating a video on generating Outside lines over Autumn Leaves? Appreciated!

I just found you. Amen.
Welcome to the channel :)
Love this! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
This is nice. Is this lesson related to making the changes?
It certainly overlaps with a lot of the concepts.
Great to learn the tune this way. I cannot download the pdf's at this moment. The page is not loading.
I'm not why that's not working, I've just checked it and it is my end. If you email me through my site, I can email them over to you.
@@jazzguitarwithandy Hi Andy. Thanks. I tried a different browser and I could downloaded it. Thanks anyway. I will practice tonight!
Targeting the third for each chord seems to sounds good on this tune, avoiding the root as well
Yes - with the chords moving in 4ths it works really well.
