 Songlist Hello, my name is Sam and I am new to this forum. In fact, this is my very first post/reply. I have been a player off and on for forty years, but I started learning theory and jazz only recently. I play a D'Angelico NYL-5 archtop with a floating pickup, a Martin accoustic/electric flattop, and a 1972 Gibson SG Deluxe that I purchased new in 1972. I've enjoyed reading some of the suggestions to consider for the playlists. I have only recently started to try and work out some arrangements myself and I'm taking it slow mainly due to lack of experience & knowlege. A lot of the tunes on my own playlist I've learned from tabs and scores. No matter how I've learned them, I still really enjoy playing them and hunger for more. Here is my current playlist: I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face The Shadow of Your Smile Black Orpheus (Maha De Carnaval) The Girl from Ipanema All the Things You Are Corcovado (Quiet Night and Quiet Stars) Just the Way You Are God Bless the Child Misty |

| A couple of suggestions for recent songs that may work - "Goodbye Mr A" by the Hoosiers and "Fix You" by Coldplay. I haven't tried them yet but I'll get round to it soonish. Right now I'm working on "Secret Love" and "Georgia on my Mind".

| Just stumbled on this thread. Someone a while back mentioned Richard Cheese, and I just have to say that he's freaking awesome and hilarious. Also, someone asked about the Johnny Smith album with "Golden Earrings" on it. It's on a record that is simply called "Johnny Smith." I have it on vinyl, but I think it's available on CD. It has a black cover and a pic of his guitar in the middle. What a great album. The version of "Yesterday" he does on it is to die for. On the actual topic, a couple of my favorite songs to play that I haven't seen mentioned (unless I just missed them) are "Beautiful Love," but done kind of slow, and "I Can't Give You Anything But Love." I know I'm kind of being Captain Obvious, but what a great source for finding new material this thread is. |

 songlist Hi Sundogg. I see you're one of many who play 'Over the rainbow', is this the Eva Cassidy version or the original style arranged for guitar? I once had a score for jazz guitar and lost it. Do you know if there is a jazz version of the original style available these days? As l'm a complete newbie to the jazz world, it seems right to tell you that l am unfamiliar with many of the jazz players and music discussed on this site. Many thanks. . Regi |

| Listen to everyone Hi Regi, There are some excellent versions of "Rainbow" by guitarists, Tommy Emmanual plays a nice one as did Ted Greene, Earl Klugh and the list goes on. The version I found that most inspired me however was Keith Jarrett, the pianist and Bill Evans. If you are just getting into chord melody playing there is some very good information here at this site and many people willing to offer assistance. One of the things my teacher, an excellent jazz guitarist Tom Lagana, taught me was to listen to everyone, horn players, pianists (who are harmonically sophisticated) and of course guitarists. Some chord melody players I would suggest are Martin Taylor, Joe Pass, Barney Kessell, Ted Greene, Lenny Breau, Earl Klugh and then read interviews with them to see who they listen to. Check out pianists Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans, they play fairly close to the melody line with some beautiful and original embellishments. |

| songlist Hi Sundogg. Thank you so much for sharing your time with me...it will not go to waste! Yes l do love using chords and have a reasonable understanding of them so am attentive to your suggestions of named guitarists to listen to. I do listen to other instruments but mainly bass, and like...if and when possible...to include a walking bassline. Oh that we had more hands! However, l'm somewhat tentative about going 'too deep' as yet, and feel l need to maintain self discipline and be 'theoretically content' before l tackle anything too complex. But thanks to this site... and its members, l am getting there! Having said all that Sundogg, you've led me into temptation...l'm gonna go and buy some of the music you recommend...with my pension that is...hope l've got time to learn it! Thanks again. Warm regards. Regi |
