Topic: Learn "Silent Night" and Open Talk

 

 

You can watch the lesson here... HERE.

 

Hello all, sorry about the late notice regarding tonight's live lesson but I've been on a short Christmas tour for the last 6 days.  Just got back this morning after 8 shows in 6 days.  I'm pretty wiped out but I wanted to have a live lesson tonight.

 

I'll be showing a couple of versions of "Silent Night" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and we'll be having an open talk.

 

Here is the music for "Silent Night"

Hi Steve;

Glad your back safe and sound! (pun intended )

 

I've been working on the basic 2 -5-1 Jazz progression in various keys,  I  have memorized about 10 basic jazz chords.(ii-m7, V -9/9m, V - 13/13m , I - Maj7 , 1 - Maj 76/9 etc)  I'd like to play some songs to hone my skills.

 

I'm aware of "THE REAL BOOK" and sure it's a great thing to have; BUT

 

Question; 

 

... I'm wondering if you could please recommend (or supply ) a much smaller (and less expensive) resource of "SIMPLE ® "JAZZ SONGS to learn with? 

 

Thanks in advance;

All the Best!! 

Neil

Yes, I will try to cover all of the major Jazz Chords that I use in my professional playing.

 

It should be a good course!

My experience is that simple and jazz don't go together. 

 

JazzyBeatle used to recommend  Jazz Guitar forum  as they have beginners lessons and a Jazz Standard of the month lesson/contest. Look to the "getting started" and the "jazzguitar.be lessons" sub forums and you might find some ideas on a good book or two. If you sign up for the mail list Dirk and Matt will send you lessons that they post to their blog periodically. A lot of them seem to be suitable for beginner jazz guitarists.

 

I hope that helps.
