Another crazy good instructional video. I've been playing this song for years, but never memorized it. Now that will be possible. Great job & thank you Brent!
@@Learnjazzstandards I moved to Albuquerque a year ago. I recently found a great place that has an open mic jazz night. The house band plays for 45 minutes and then canvasses the audience for other players who have brought instruments. Somehow, they group them all together to play, the house band filling in as necessary. They are awesome, and there are people from high school on up to senior professionals who play. On any given night there may be 20 people there who are going to play - sax, trumpet, trombone, guitar, bass, drums, piano, flute. I am going to brush up on 20-25 standards and get up there and play with them.
I learned this in eflat then in f which is harder to finger on my keyboard. Pretty impressive from Errol. I learned music theory years ago so I understood what you're saying. This is as much Chopin as tin pan alley. Love it.
Very detailed and useful breakdown for me (very jazz newbie). Watching you run through the various chords, where do you suggest I get the chord fingerings for the (seemingly) hundreds of jazz chords.
Great analysis, thanks. I notice that your chord forms for Maj7 are not your typical forms. It looks like you use Maj6 or inversion Maj7 forms. Just watching you it looks much more efficient than reposition your wrist. Do you have a lesson/thoughts on selecting/choosing efficient chord forms for songs? Thanks again... Jim
Donojazz, this stuff is slightly beyond my level of understanding but I think the Maj7 form he is using contains a ninth note. I’m not certain of the name but in Eb it would be spelled Eb G D F, and it is stacked that way on the middle four strings. Explanation: Eb is the root. G is the third. D is the 7. F is the 9. Fretting is 5th string at fret 6. Fourth string at fret 5. Third string at fret 7 and second string at fret 6. That’s my best guess. Let me know if I am wrong. Happy strumming. Philiptalk
Hi brent chewed this for a while & comcluded, the exposition of 2⁰ dominants is piss poor. When a new key centre appears, its like a bootstrap or black hole that distorts the prevailing centre. In life we are trained to handle progression like say the alphabet If you then ask us to reverse the alphabet from say k we"d struggle. When we have a key centre change it is a reset where the new key becomes the 1 or resolve . Its a shame the 2⁰ dominant term has become the vernacular as its pretty useless. Another of my favourites is hypothecated tax, but then i dont get out much. Tks.
Brent. Another awesome video with really useful analysis. I know I’ve mentioned this before but I want your videos to be as professional as they can be as they help me immeasurably. My only advice on your excellently produced output is regarding the frequency of “jump cuts” in your videos. At 4 secs in it jumps from a medium close up to a closer medium close up and then back out again. This is a very jarring transition to watch, very distracting and not necessary at all. This happens in most if not all of your videos. Please don’t take this as a criticism as it is not intended as such. My advice as someone who worked in the industry, If you want to transition to a different medium close up you need a transition shot which could be a close up of your hands on the fretboard or even a wide side shot. Then it is ok to go to a closer medium close up. Keep up the great work.
Tonisize - love that wording' - making the IV a temporary tonic 👍🏼

Glad to help!
Very informative and navigational in understanding
Great analysis. I think I will spend the weekend on your analysis and learn this song. Thanks!
Thanks! Hope you had fun.

Nice. Ella Fitzgerald does a great version of this which modulates from Bb to B
Great tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
similar progression in Four, Miles Davis, thanks for the videos
No problem!

Thanks! Can you do a video on darn that dream?
Excellent video! May I ask where to get the standard sheet for this? My version has the different chords on it
What should I be looking for when connecting chords to melody notes? Guide tones as they appear in the chords? Something else? Thanks.
I no speakka heem language, but i can play what he's playing...😎
Nice insight. I don't know if you ever heard Walter Rodrigues play this, but it's worth checking out. Walter is one of my favorites on YT

Guitar tone is excellent. What model is it?
Thanks! It's a Victor Baker custom made jazz guitar. You may check the specs in our previous video: ruclips.net/video/ym2XbAVD9Ec/видео.html
