Better still - get into a Twitter spat with him on the exact nature of the nonsense syllables

That reminds me. You did a footprints video with nonsense syllables to illustrate the phrasing. I watched it like 6 months ago and that was really helpful. Thanks.

Skibidi!

Hang on are you sure that wasn’t me trying to explain the harmony?

I think it was a harmony video but you digressed on the melody. I rarely learn the intended lesson from things I watch.

That's part of the lyrics of Flat Foot Floogie

Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Floy-doy, floy-doy, floy-doy

EDIT: I did not realize you put the lyrics. I always heard it as floy-doy, but it seems to be actually floy-joy.

The Mills Brothers say floy-doy with Louis Armstrong. The Benny Goodman version is also floy doy.

For all you fuddy-duddys, a "floogie" is a prostitute, and "floy floy" is slang for syphilis. My mom use to refer to some of my girl friends as "floogies". Luckily, I never came down with the "floy floy".

Ok well I’m not teaching that one to kids then I guess

There are more family friendly rhythm changes.

I don't think that's accurate, a woman who was sexually promiscuous, yes, but not a prostitute. And what was considered promiscuous back then would be called sexually liberated now-a-days. Not sure about "floy floy," if it is a venereal disease, there are others besides syphilis.

There are more family friendly rhythm changes.

Yes, Joe Pass, Herb Ellis & Barney Kessel used to play that one - very fast.

I actually teach this - there’s an arrangement in the guitar book I use. None of the kids have ever heard of it.

It’s not a riff tune in any case… really I need the rhythm changes equivelant of c jam blues haha

lol, my mom would say "floozy," which must be a variation on "floogie."

Cotton Tail

Cotton Tail

So when Christian’s talking about a riff tune, he’s referring to a tune that uses the same short melody over multiple sets of changes.

They’re particularly common with blueses — Sonnymoon, Bags Groove, C Jam, etc — but also not super uncommon with rhythm changes.

Lester Leaps In, uses the same riff over the first four of the A section as over the second. Thats true of all the tunes Christian cited. So that’s what he’s getting after there … Cottontail doesn’t really qualify on that score.

Yeah, it’s more clear what he’s getting at with the video he posted. Really cool concept.
