Dudes,

Here's a short but nice chord melody arrangement by Klaus Flenter that I
gave as homework to my student today ....

http://www.youtube.com/user/jazzerman

It's the most recent video addition.

I hope you can figure out the chords yourself if you want to play it. Note
the 7sus4 to 13b9 changes in the bridge. The last two chords are add9
chords.

Regards,

Great tone. Great execution. Topping arrangement.
Thanks heaps for sharing it, I learned a couple of new tricks from that one.

You had another version, a live version, of this song I believe? I went hunting for it a while back and couldn't find it. Does it exist, if so can I have the link?

Loved it! Great job, Dick! You're getting a relly nice tone on that 335. What strings do you use?

That was very nice Smile

.

But i thought your sound was a bit too much bass on that one?!

it sounded a little bassy through my crappy computer speakers, but through headphones the tone was really nice...

i've done an arrangement i worked out that uses some similar ideas...great minds think alike (or fools seldom differ) i really enjoyed it.

I've been lurking for some time now, but just decided to register and post since I saw this vid of yours Jazzerman.
Very nicely done. I'm trying to cop this, and so far I've gotten it down pretty well. I only have troubles hearing what your doing for the CMaj7 chord after you walk up the ii-III7-I. I'm guessing it's a Em7 subbing for the I?
I'll e watching/listening to this one quite a bit. Thanks!

Jazzerman, you really are an inspiration (as are most of you guys on here that I've learned from on here) with your playing and phrasing. I liked it a lot.

Hey Dick,
as usual you arrangements sounds great.
And I noticed a little thing I would like to comment...

in the first ii - V - I in the B sectition (on the GM7) , I see that you in the first measure plays it normal, then in the second, you raises the fifth...

Have you tried to play in the first measure GM7#5 and then raise it to the 6th?

Thats a thing I use alot, it sounds pretty nice.....

Hehe, I just saw your ''Road song'', and I loved that 3rd guitarist,
he is really funny...... Laughing

Well, take care

You are right. I am playing Cmaj7 Dm7 Ebdim Em7 there substituting for the I.

Sorry for the late reply. I am crappy at after sales ...
