Hello Sandra, Greetings again from Australia. I turn 70 next month and have been a blues based rocker since I was 13 and teaching since 1994. I always wanted to learn Jazz Chord Melody but didn't know where to start until I found you. So in January I made a pledge to learn one song a month. January - MISTY, February - SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW, March - SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, April - AIN'T MISBEHAVIN',May - BLACK ORPHEUS, June - AUTUMN LEAVES, July - ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE, August - CORCOVADO, next month DESAFINADO. Thank you for the great lessons, tabs and GP files, could not have done this without GREAT TEACHER, your lessons are awesome !!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Hi Ken, so glad to make you happy and enjoy the jazz ride. Give yourself some time on Desafinado. That's quite a long and tricky songform to memorize.

[@infinite-guitar]

Hi Sandra. Thanks for the advice. I put this on hold until I got better at jazz theory and it was worth the wait. I memorised it this week. Thank you for being such a great teacher and for rekindling the love of the bossa nova I developed when I was a teenager in the early 60s 😊

[@steve60.]

Your lessons are HUGE! I 'm sure you've heard it before but it bears repeating ! And your a great teacher as well ! Thanks for all you do...

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Wow, thank you! ❤️

[@Zappeline]

You have such a soft touch that is perfect for bossa

[@luishiguera3995]

What a beautiful way to play and teach this wonderful song Sandra! You are so gifted and I thank you for willingness and great disposition to share your musical skills with us. Today is still Tuesday in The USA. I hope that your husband’s surgery was a great success and he will have a speedy recovery. Take good care of yourself and make sure that you get the necessary rest. Your health is of utmost importance; try to take it easy and take a break from your busy schedule.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

He did well. Busy now, taking care of him. Thank you for your well wishes, Luis! ❤️

[@riverman6655]

Thank you...this is on my bucket list to learn...I've learned two Jobim tunes ..girl from ipanema and one note samba..this is the natural for the 3rd one and the insensatez after this.

[@stringbender57]

Ah yes! This is a very popular Jazz standard and a must know. Thanks for this sweet arrangement Sandra. I wish I would have had your lessons 30 years ago! Stay well!

It's never too late to enjoy music. Flash you're having fun with the tutorials 😊 🎸🎶

Wow, thanks so much! 🇦🇹 ♥ 🇮🇹

[@abejacgot]

You went above and beyond with this marathon lesson...but then again, you always do. Many thanks

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Yes, this is one of the few long ones. I tried to keep is as short as possible, but it's such a long song form, lol.

[@bartmanapat238]

I always have an easy feeling everytime i listen to your guitar.

[@rodericksibelius8472]

I purchased the Sheet Music and I am now playing it on my Classical Guirar, Andres Segovia/Julian Bream Style ... Thanks Sandra!!!.. You are a great Teacher.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

How cool! Bossa sounds great on nylon string guitars. 🎸🎶

[@chanh4025]

I don't know how to thank you. it feels like I got an early Christmas present. Some songs are so good that I just listen, and I hesitate to play with my clumsy hands. Desafinado was one of the songs. So about two months ago I asked for this song on your channel. Now you broke my hesitation. Thank you for a wonderful lesson!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you for your kind words, Chan! They're very much appreciated and keep me motivated 😊❤️. Don't worry about your "clumsy" hands. My nick name is clumsy smurf for a reason and even I managed to play jazz 😊. Just a little bit a day will get you there. And make sure to check out the basics, like chords! Chords melody is the kings discipline and needs some existing knowledge.

[@SpusuConfuso]

You're one awesome player AND teacher. A rare combination. Thanks for your valuable insiggts into the world of a professional.

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me. ♥️

I'm still behind my desk at work. Now that your video popped up in my notifications I know its time to go home. Can't wait to listen to the song and get it under my fingers. Gretz from NL

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Work is overrated. 😁

[@gerdvanjuuten1581]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I couldn't agree more :-D

[@tuomassuable]

What I like about your videos is a) that the basic structure and the melody of the song are outlined extremely clearly b) the arrangements are fairly easy to play WHILE c) at the same time they are not simplified in the harmonic sense, they are jazzy and original. A great way of learning standards for a guitar player. Thank you! -- A wish: Just Friends.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you Tuomas! That is a great compliment, bc all you mentioned is exactly what my intentions are. Just Friends is already on my channel. Just feed the YT search box with "Just Friends Guitarversum". Bon Appetit 😊

It's so sad to hear the passing of Astrud Gilberto. Joao and Carlos, and Stan now Astrud. End of a musical Era. I've been a musician most of my life, but recently with a guitar. I love it and would love to this Legendary song. I plan on playing it. Thank you for all the great songs you post. I liked and subscribed.

Boy,this one is a chordal FEAST. Never knew the title of this tune but it's always been a favorite. Has a very Beatlesque kinda vibe...thank you for the hard work.

Fantastic- as usual. After a quick listen to get the big picture, I think I also heard "Tangerine" a little in the beginning.

[@gypsydavy708]

Four days in and I'm almost ready for the final verse. Probably the toughest song I've tried. Thanks for the challenge!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Yeah, this one is really hard to memorize, due to its long and unusual song form. Make sure to repeat the parts you already know again and again, before going to the next coupke of bars.

[@captainsun4581]

Wonderful arrangment yet again by your very good self. This is great fun to get through phrase by phrase. 👌💙

[@michaelthompson9253]

thankyou sandra this is fantastic just the musical challenge i have needed, i love this tune

Glad you like it 😊. Enjoy the learning process.

[@cokidjazz]

@Sandra - you have great control of your 4th finger. Excellent

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I remember, that it took me a while, 30 something years ago. But you have to stay focused, if there's a problem and just focus on how to overcome it for a few weeks. Then the problem is forever solved.

[@thomassieckmann8962]

Hi Sandra, I'm wondering if you could explain this Fmajor 9#11#5 chord. You don't play a root?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I don't know the video by heart anymore. It's always good to put a time stamp on the comment (which will place an autonatic link I can click), so I know what you're referring to. Fmaj7#11#5 is a lydian #5 chord. It's the 3rd degree of the D melodic minor scale. It's just a hipper version of a major chord, so don't overthink it 😊

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Its 68 chords? I haven't counted them, but I doubt it. It's probably just variations of basic jazz chords, that you should know before attempting chord melody. I have a playlist named Chords and Comping. Once you know the basics Chord Melody isnt6such a mystery anymore and you memorize the arrangements a lot better (or even make your own ones).

[@andisgalaxysvieractive]

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💯

[@jeffreybrown271]

She is sincere, but she puts too much detail, more like she is teaching someone who has never picked up a guitar before. What she really needs to do is to get someone "playing the chord and melody, without all the rudiments. Perfection will not be reached on the first try. Remember it's a video, one can always replay the video to straighten out ones problems with the tune. But she definitely takes too much time with explanations. She has good intentions, though.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

She thanks you and will take it into consideration 😊. She thinks of these tutorials more like lessons, though. And she doubts, that an absolute beginner could play this. Keep swinging, Jeffrey! I'll try to be a little less chatty, but the concept will remain. There are others, who already do what you asked for.
