We will start of by creating a ballad arrangement and add in some interesting reharmonisations and passing chords. In part 2 we create an up-tempo version.

In part 2 of this tutorial we up the tempo and play the tune with a swing feel. We further explore passing chords and the 4 way close.

In part 2 of this jazz standard tutorial we explore some interesting quartal voicings for 251s and also apply pentatonic harmony to the chord changes.

In Part 1 we run through the first half of the tune. We start with simple voicings and then create a more modern sound using chords built from 4ths.

We use lots of extended & altered harmony & also some interesting applications of inner voice movement, drop 2 and pentatonic voicings.

Much of the tune is made up of the 1625 progression. We will explore how we can use this progression to create an improvised introduction.

This lesson is closely related to the ‘Pentatonic Improv’ lesson so if you haven’t already, I’d recommend you check that out first.

We will explore the pentatonic scale from a jazz improvisation standpoint applying the scale to different chord types and common progressions.
