    I think it goes like this:

    C6/C#o - GM7/Eb9/D9/Db9 - Em6....

    Not sure after that :-)

    (I take it the Bm6 is an E9 over B. It's unusual to have a major ii-V before a minor chord but it's jazz so it only makes it more interesting!)
    GM7 stands for Gmaj7, sorry. (First in the chords-pics)
    Em6 (one measure) Am6/F#m6.

    The End of the song is of course slightly different.

    This is what it sounds like. I've put some bass in and left the chords fairly loud so we can hear them. Happy with it?

    GM7/F#m7 - Bm6 - Am7/E9 - Am9
    C6/C#o - GM7/Eb9/D9/Db9 - Em6 - Am6/F#m6

    All right, but are you happy with it? Does it sound like what you wanted?

    (I've got to admit I quite like it myself. I like the Am6/F#m6 at the end )

    I'm very happy with it and it's your turn now to suggest a song...if you want to continue.

    Let's stick to it and "Careless Love" it is


    C - G7 - C - %
    C - % - G7 - %
    C - C7 - F - %
    C - G7 - C - %

    If this is too much for you just say so. We can limit it any time. Up to you.

    I only waited for your choice.
    I really like your music.

    I like this one. New guy doing an old one. There's some quite sophisticated stuff going on there.

    I just like that performance, by the way, I'm not suggesting it to do. I'd rather try something in minor now. I'll do it later.

    They haven't really 'jazzed it' much, have they?

    I started out that way "about a hundred years ago".
    The whole McTell,Lipscomb,Fuller- world of wonderful Fingerpicking.
    I paid good money for all those Stefan Grossmann-Books
    and I still love ragtime-blues.

    Good choice, man.

    I'm working on careless love.

    Takes me back. I lifted that song from a Victoria Spivey LP back around 1970 ....

    Hello,

    I'm a newbie here ... but really enjoying this discussion. Thank you for the learning opportunities!

    Careless Love was mentioned and I remembered just seeing this last week. Unlike any version I've ever heard, but very nice IMO. Just another take on "jazzing the blues". It's a long video, but I've tried to link right to the song ... it's from 24:40 to 28:34 ... Tim Lerch. Not sure if Telecasters are allowed here though ... ;-) ... respectfully.

    John

    coopman -

    Welcome. Thanks for that vid - highly useful, I should think. Tele's are acceptable :-)

    plus a lot more modern players.

    Do I see one of those "Charlie Christian Pick Ups" on the Tele ?
    (like Barney Kessel)
    Love that kind of swing...great post, coopman.

    How do you want to do it?
    I do it in F without the Capo.But listen please. That song was just an idea. If you have another, I'm game.
    This should be fun.

    This one's fine. It's been a favorite for years :-)

    What do you think ?
    Chords are of the 13th, m6 and m7 varieties.
    The sound is lousy, the playing sucks...another smash

    I take it as a basic idea to work on it later.

    I can hear what you're trying to do... but what are you trying to do? Is it a solo?

    It's a basis for fillings (when it's finished) and the essence of the song.
    It could be played (with variationes) behind a singer.
    The first few notes are for instance part of an F6 arpeggio,
    then fill and Bb13, fill and F13, fill and Bb13,fill and F9 at the end.
    Working my way from this idea... ev'rything's wide open.
