I bought a jazz compilation cd in the early 90’s which led to a love of jazz..this song was on it and it remains very special to me. Thanks so much for a fabulous lesson 😊😊

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

We may have had the same compilation 😊

[@luishiguera3995]

Another excellent lesson, with remarkable dexterity and precision by Her Majesty. I love it Sandra!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you, Louis! One of my all time favorite tunes. But then again, I love so many Montgomery tunes 😁

[@tombola4673]

Four On Six was one of the first Wes-Montgomery-Songs I ever heard and loved - thanks for this great lesson!!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

It's a really cool tune 🎶

[@gerdvanjuuten1581]

Wes was da man! I love all of his tunes and renditions. This one's dear to me. Thank you for your efforts!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

He sie still IS da man. His legacy continues.

[@salvadorgarcia8661]

Perfect, one of my favorite songs of Wes, and also with a part of the solo that is always the most difficult to extract in jazz. Thanks a lot Sandra, now I'll wait for your news on Sunday!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I'm planning a solo toturial with several transcribed Chorusses of Wes' solo.

[@fallinditch8886]

Thank you so much for the great lesson Sandra, this was very helpful.

[@jamesmargulis332]

Makes my quarantine weeks a lot less boring :-)

I'm quite busy too 😊

Merci Sandra pour ce super cours et parfaite explication. Toujours le must ❤

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad this is helpful for you 😊

[@RPSartre01]

Super! And the backing track is just great!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you, Robert. It was fun to make the backing tracks.

[@gpernarella]

I've discovered this song about a week ago and I love it!!! Great lesson, thanks!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Great discovery 😊. Enjoy the learning process!

[@maunichyr]

thank you for yet another phenomenal, fun tutorial, and picking such a great track! :- ]

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I love this tune 😍

[@lookforbriansjazz7832]

Sandra!!! From Chicagoland... thanks so much for sharing. This is my favorite Wes tune as well and you nailed it! Your best one yet! Hope you and your family are well. Stay safe out there.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you, Brian! Isn't Wes the best? ❤️ I'm well. In quarantine (we have a total lockdown), numbers decreasing quickly. A lot to do for me these days. Stay safe, my friend ❤️

[@lookforbriansjazz7832]

Sorry... I know I shouldn’t reply to a “reply”, but your numbers are going down? That is a total blessing! That should be front page news these days. Take care!

[@BubbleManxx]

You obviously don't need a clown like me to say so, but your playing is seriously so smooth. No wasted motion, I'm envious. Something to aspire too. Great lesson.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I like Clowns! My favorite is Puddles Pity Party - awesome singer :-) Kidding aside, thanks for your kind words. The main goal is to move your hands as little as possible. The less movement, the smoother and faster things become.

[@caleblong9659]

Thank you! I’ve been working on this song and this helped so so much!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I'm so glad it's helpful, Keep swingin 🎶 🎸

[@Usertfders]

Great lesson! I would only suggest learning it with fewer reaching up and down the neck, like the intro of C-7 on the "A" string on the 3rd fret. Also starting the melody of the B-flat on the "D" string on the 7th fret. And the last part of the phrase starting with F# at the "B" string at the 7th fret, etc. It makes an easier pattern keeping your hand in a neutral position with the phrase.

[@giusf1226]

LOVE YOU SANDRA! your often my starting place for a new standard to hammer...

[@stevemurrayphotos]

Thank you Sandra, the way its broken down into phases is great for a beginner like me 🙏

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Wes!! This is one those tunes that can really cook. As always, love your comments with the analysis. Yummy lunch today 👍. Congrats on the addition of Sundays! Be well.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks, Barry! ❤️

[@SirAndyDee]

Awesome! Great tutorial, as always! Keep going!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

[@stuartarnold4495]

Great tune Sandra well done and thank you, your lesson was as usual good to follow for beginners like me.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad I met your skill level 😊. Keep swingin 🎶 🎸

[@David-nu3dr]

Wow! You're the best! Thank you so much! (Stay safe)

[@eolden7749]

I could be wrong but Wes Montgomery was the greatest jazz guitarist to come along

[@robdogj]

bumpin on the sunset is my favorite Wes Montgomery tune

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

That's a good one for sure!

[@robdogj]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman just curious, how did find out about Wes? I am sure not while sipping on Kaffee und Kuchen ;)

[@alexanderaltago]

thx for this lesson (well explained) - thumbs up!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thx, Alex! ❤️

[@jerichothedrifter60]

Sandra, I've been struggling with In Your Own Sweet Way by Wes, I have the chord melody part pretty well figured but I'd love it if you did an analysis of Wes's solo bits on that song

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

It's a bit specific, but ket's see what I can do.

[@BungleJoogie68]

You are the cool, guitar-playing aunt I never had.

[@schpotzlzwergl2888]

Excellent video!

[@annettesomers7463]

Thank you great lesson! I love this tune and besame mucho and so many others of course!

What made you pic 4 on 6? This is one of my favorite from Wes among many more Sandra you are the BOMB!!! THE BEST!!! Much Thanks for all your effort, love the way you teach!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

It's such a cool tune and has so many interesting things in a playable short head. Bassline, Rhythm kicks, chords and single note melody.

[@CTinNorthville]

Superb instruction.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you ❤️

[@keith20156]

You’re awesome! Thanks for this lesson.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Aaawww, thanks, my friend! ❤️

[@johnmcminn9455]

I like your charts, they are just like the jazz guy at my local music store used to write. he had claimed to be in a wedding band with DiMeola in the 70s they played a lot of bopped versions of Bossa, back then I think Sinatra recorded with Jobim so everybody wanted to hear it!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Wow, must have been wild times, in a wedding band with Al DiMeola.

[@chrismolinarimusic]

VERY helpful. Thank you!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad my tutorial helped you. Keep swingin 🎶 🎸

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

One of my favorites!! Bought the full package :)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy it during this aweful time. Stay safe, my friend!

[@piemalicho]

hi sandra. Thanks for your great job. On question: on the bar 7 for the theme , we can read on the real book score G A A . You play G G slide A ?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Yes, I slide g into a, that's correct.

[@asgarddmorales2681]

So beautiful! Thanks...

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad you like it. Keep groovin' 🎶🎸

super vidéo miss bravo thanks

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you! Glad you like it ❤️

[@barry0517]

Sandra. Nice slow version of this classic. I have smaller hands and those stretches on the original with Bbma7 Gm11, Abm11, Am4 is hard on my hand. You are approaching that differently. please explain. Thank you. What type of guitar are you playing. Barry

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Yes, you can play it using the m11 chords. But most people use just the Guide Tone voicings, the way I explained in the video. As for my great. I have a video, where I show all my gear and amp settings. Just search for "Jazz guitar gear Guitarversum".

[@sockenfrank]

Wes habe ich ich gerade wiederentdeckt. In Paris läuft seit ein paar Wochen regelmäßig. Er war wahrscheinlich der instinktivste von den Großen. Nicht so verkopft intellektuell. Danke für die schöne Lesson. Mach doch mal wieder Chord Melody. Bitte. Liebe Grüße Sandra.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Da geb ich dir 100% recht. Er hatte so hörbare Lines, ohne dass er kommerzig klang. Ok, die Streicherepisode, die ihm die eine Plattenfirma aufgezwungen hat vergessen wir mal lieber 😊

[@jerichothedrifter60]

I do a little cheat and play the turnaround thing from the Db shape (end of phrase 4 ) up at the 8th fret rather than cowboy chord position

[@Allan-et5ig]

Nice video - even though this is one of my least favorite songs as a listener! As a player, this was most helpful.

[@dkwvt13]

a personal favorite, this is going on the stand, Thank You...! B-)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Really happy you like it! ❤️

[@fredguitarmaniac]

Great lesson, thx! GREETINGS from QLD AUSTRALIA

[@LaConfiture568]

Great lesson. Would be great if you would grow through the scales that can be used to improvise over the progression.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Maybe in another lesson. I can't put it all in one video. Attention span of people has decrease by 90% ever since social media got popular :-)

What does a "head" mean? You said there's a 32 bar head. Thx

The head is the melody of the song.

[@vguido0757]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank you. Love your tutorials by the way.

[@littlejohn725]

Hi Sandy, surely we are in the key of G and not F aren't we?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

The song is in G dorian

[@nicolomacale1947]

❤

[@robertbalogh1656]

Key center is actually Bb not F.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Well, it switches between G dorian (Fmajor) and G aeolian (Bb major).
