    Jim Mullen


    Barney Kessel (this may be the most moving thing I've ever heard from BK!)


    Wow.

    Man, everyone is sounding so good on this that it's sort a shame to take it down a few notches, but I missed out on the last couple (few?) tunes, so I thought I'd throw in a quick chorus.

    Get ready for some meandering and overused devices. I welcome criticism, be it constructive or just plain insulting.

    Really nice Jay, I hear a Jimmy Raney influence in your version. Nice tone, good lines!

    You are a poopyhead!

    Sorry I couldn't resist. :-)

    Hi guys,

    Here's another take - still very much a work in progress; but I needed to get this stage out of the way, to see if I can come up with fresh ideas.

    It's a bit repetitive, I'm somewhat entangled on the tune's inner melodic repetition, but that's challenging at the same time.

    Now I'm going to sit down and catch up with what you guys have been doing, too!

    Thank you Ragman and Christian for your valuable insights.

You probably want at least seven or eight ( a full bar's worth) firmly fixed in your mind/brain/fingers, as strongly as the first four or five. That way they can be linked, if you see what I mean.
    I think you're giving me too much credit by saying I've thought five notes ahead, but otherwise this is spot on. I've had difficulty with my phrases just trailing off. I think I'm getting better, but more often than not there is still no definite resolution. Something to work on!

    It's more than influence, Howie -- it's outright theft! I appreciate the kind words.

    Your work with those inner voices is really nice!

    Love it when people keep a connection to the more classic stuff... that ending is precious

    Quite a trip listening to all the versions. Very inspiring and enlightening at times.
    I can see why this forum feature gets so much love ...

    Barney Kessel, though, takes the trophy home

    Here is my take on I can't get started.
    Sorry for the piano player who plays constantly the one (iReal).


    (Solo starts on 1:37 if you are tired of the theme)
    Hope you like it.

    I liked it, some nice melodic material in there.
    Also played with a really nice sound... what guitar is that? it has great definition on the lower notes, a mild punch

    Really good Phrasing on this one and an excellent, melodic improvisation.

    Oh, thanks for the complements.

    It's a Telecaster, Nocaster copy from the Netherlands, Haar Guitars it called. But after having posted a bunch of takes on this forum with a .10 set strings I had the luminous idea to put .11 flatwounds on it for more jazzsound. Duh. Should have done that much earlier.

    Really good Phrasing on this one and an excellent, melodic improvisation
    That was quite hard on this tempo. And I didn't want to play in the comfort zone with double time 16th notes.
    Some of my previous takes were quite bad I must admit.

    Hi guys,

    I wanted to add a complete video for my first month here at the "Practical Standards" before the month/year's end.
    Still, I shortened the last A section... Wasn't feeling feel inventive enough and didn't want to sound boring.

    It has some mistakes but I hope you can kind find something interesting, as well

    Anyway, this was great - I always enjoy a good challenge - and count me in for next month's please!

    Happy New Year, guys!!

    Here's a quick latin take (afro-cuban) of tune... pretty rough, but I'm not really a practice guy. I played it on nylon strings and no pick... slow me down. I'm around for a while. So I'll post this months tune also. I'll also start posting more technical material, along with real applications. Not sure where... but it will be obvious... thanks.

    compelling notions of style/feel influencing harmony. Always appreciate insight into macro. Thanks.

    Reg, that was super. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to your next videos!

    Hi
    Have you ever heard of something called blues?
    Consider that.
    C blues minor : C Eb F F# G Bb
    C relative blues: C D Eb E G A
    C blues mixed: C D Eb E F F# G A Bb
    I think the solution lies in that. Blues is the heart of jazz.
    Bars 3 and 4
    E7 OK (b9 9 #11 b13)
    A7b5 OK or A7 (b9 #9 #11 b13 13)
    D7b9 #11 NO D7 OK (b9 9 #9 b13)
    G7sus 4 OK or G7 (9 b13 13)
    Check
    Bye
