Another good one - finding your courses really valuable. For my money your instruction is better than many better known KZbin teachers.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

So full of great points. Really inspiring, thank you.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks for the feedback. To me it's just such a fantastic standard, had to get into the detail as much as possible!

[@titosmith7942]

Good lesson! With ATTYA, I think about how there is a 6-2-5-1 in A flat and then a bit later, the same thing in E flat. Just a way I think about it.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks Tito 🙏 Yes, that’s a great way to think about those two parts of the tune.

[@fatkitty4207]

You are amazing man. You should have more subscribers and views. Keep working hard. You are helping me a ton. I was a blues player for 2 years and now I decided to learn jazz haha. I said "I wonder how long it would take for me to learn this genre" half jokingly. But here I am learning it. Thank you.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you find the videos helpful. This genre is never ending :)

[@waynehicks1969]

Thanks for this. I have worked on this song off and on for a long time. Learning the chords and arpeggios , but I can never remember the chords sequence. Like you say. You can't really say you know a song until you can start or stop anywhere along the song and pick right back up. I am going to print out your chord sheet and practice playing it comp style. That seems to be an easier and rythmic approach, which helps.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

You’re right Wayne. You truly know something when you can play from any part of the song. I think we need to be able to do it from memory if we are to to solo effectively or play it with someone else. Good luck with the practice and thank you for your comment.

[@aberhan]

This is helpful, but I was wondering if there are other chord voiceings that have the melody line within the chords? More for a solo performance.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Yes, most definitely. If you took the first couple chords you could do X 8 X 8 9 X and then either 6 X 6 6 X X or X X 8 10 9 9

[@aberhan]

Thank you, I am revisiting this song as I set it aside several years ago as it was beyond my capabilities. It’s still difficult but now seems possible.

[@underwoodvoice9077]

When I was first memorizing All the Things, I leaned on the circle of fifths for the roots of the A section chords: F to Bb to Eb to Ab to Db plus a turn through a tritone, and C to F to Bb plus a turn through a tritone. The B section is a couple of ii-V-I changes, then the final A incorporates a chromatic walkdown to a final ii-V-I. That probably sounds way more complicated than it really is, but it's how my head works. Your mileage, of course, may vary and is probably measured in kilometers.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

That makes perfect sense to me - great way to think about what's going on with the chords :)

[@bluejazz42]

Great video, you have cracked the lighting and and the sound level. Suggestion: zoom in on the fretboard while you are playing examples. For memorising chords start in the standard key of the song - thats the most likely key to be called. Learn the song a phrase at a time and do it with the lyrics, gradually do more of the song, eg first 8 bars. The lyric help you understand the emotion and phrasing of the song. Then when you know all that write it out in roman numeral notation ie relative to the key chosen, not in any specific key. Become fluent with that by playing it in the standard key. Now try the song in another key, say a fourth or a fifth higher, using the roman notation as the only reference. Its hard work but will open the door to playing in any key.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks :) Yes, I agree re the zoom. I do try that sometimes, but it does lose a little definition. I have a new lens that I might try that with in future - thanks for the suggestion. Great suggestion re the lyrics and getting behind the emotion of the song - that's a really important thing to do!
