It's funny I just started working on this as well. But to me Freddie Green comping isn't just going chuga-chuga four to the bar hitting the same voicing but changing voicing on every beat (moving at least one line). Is that also what you mean? 180 and above would be quite a work out in that particular style especially if it's improvised (as opposed to playing a chorus with worked out movements).
-
Freddie rarely changed on every beat, actually. I've been studying him a lot. And at high tempos--one note chords baby!!!
I'd definitely just work something out for this. It's going to be a while before I feel comfortable improvising in FG style rhythm guitar...
Just don't ever call it comping
I'll try a couple of speeds for y'all. Why not? Summer of Rhythm Guitar begins!

You're probably right. I have only studied Freddie Green from secondary sources. I am not that interested in big band style comping but I find it useful as a way of practicing moving voicings with passing chords.
When it comes to playing one voicing per beat in 4/4 time, things that I work on are variations of:
The main chord (first beat) - a passing chord (second beat)- substitute of the chord (third beat) - approach to the next chord (fourth beat).
Sort of like these examples:
Harmonic Techniques to Create Moving Chord Progressions using Three Note Voicings
Part 2 - Harmonic Techniques to Create Moving Chord Progressions using Three Note Voicings
Anyway, this discussion probably belongs to your rhythm thread.Last edited by Tal_175; 05-06-2024 at 01:40 PM.

Oh excellent, another example of Rhythm Changes spelled out. Thanks for posting that Tal!!

Ok, it's Monday, right? I have no idea anymore...
Here's a 3 fingered 13-16.

And for giggles:
Donna about 140 (more like 150)
Donna about 180 (More like 190, I was well caffeinated yesterday)
Keeping it very simple.
EDIT: Tempos were incorrectLast edited by mr. beaumont; 05-07-2024 at 12:43 PM.

This is hilarious! (To me anyway)
I will practice and do the fast one too.

The virtual jam is back!

I'm working on this for my channel - thought I may as well pop it up for proofreading etc. That said, @Tal I think you mentioned it as a typo in an earlier chart and I usually play G-Bb-Db-Eb but having checked recordings I'm sure bar 16 is as I have it here, G-Bb-Db-Bb.
Actually I picked up on a couple of little things that had crept into my playing of the head, so it was good to check through it.

my take on Donna Lee. It's the version from the Real Book and not the Omnibook.

I decided I should be able to play triplet notes on two different strings as well as I can on the same string, e.g., the Gb-Ab-Gb triplet at the beginning of bar 3 in Donna Lee, which one would be inclined to play on the same string. This turned out to be a good picking exercise, the goal being to be able to phrase a line exactly as you like regardless of where it's played on the fretboard.
Speaking of picking exercises, I found the attached on Scribd, it's an interesting idea.

Just a progress post. MM. 1-16, about 172 bpm. I played the L5ces through the Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb. I play the section twice, and on the second time on a whim I turned the tone knob all the way off, sort of old-school sound.

Nice to have two bars this week.
