Thank God for that. At last somebody intelligent who knows what they're actually talking about, explains it clearly...

[@TheJazzPursuit]

High praise - thanks Simon!

[@jesolles]

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks a lot.

[@ElmoIsBold]

My new favorite channel.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks!

[@Ken-pi7qk]

Many thanks. Really like the way you start with what looks like the original chords and “build it up” with some of the modern alterations. Often people just refer to the Real Book changes and say “Here are the chords and here are the scales”

[@faqtum]

Wow. What a great teacher! Thank you

[@shadowsax]

Thank you so much for this. By far the best analysis and explanation of these changes that I've found so far.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks!

[@ivangarcia1159]

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks Ivan!!

Years ago my clarinette teacher gave me this piece to learn and started writing cryptic annotations (well, back then they seemed cryptic) underneath the chords, trying to give me a feeling why those chords are there, how they work, and what scales to play along with each chord. As I always sucked in music theory, that was way beyond my expertise. Now, revisiting the sheet years later and with the help of your video and some text book about jazz music theory I feel that the fog is starting to clear up. Thank you for the brilliant explanation of everything. Now that I start understanding what is going on, I get more interested in sheet analysis.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks for the kind words!

Remarkably effective teaching and playing! In the YT universe your channel is a brilliant star! From a classical and jazz guitarist and ever aspiring pianist - Thank you!

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks for the kind words Jay - glad it’s useful!

[@JaysCoolThings]

This is great! I play accordion, but these tutorials transfer over well for understanding the theory.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks!

[@MattDiamondMDE]

Even i quit already jazz and playing i still watch ur vids bro

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Haha, thanks!

[@ericmitchell9331]

Just ran across your channel, really nice walk-through of the analysis and recommended substitutions. Thanks for the help. If you wanted to explore an extension of this, on the outro playing, you included some great riffs on the melodies, and the improvisation. Love to see some material on this as well.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks Eric, and good idea! I’ll have a look into it …

[@Sayonara_Andres]

[@dfaria1000]

Great tutorial! Just wondering, do your pdfs include a transcription of the solo?

[@bjackblack]

Nice 😎✨✨✨

[@barryo5158]

Excellent!

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks Barry!

[@Jackleong29]

Thank you for sharing the detailed dissection and analysis of the song. I like the way you teach the song in Jazz.

[@bezuglich]

Ach JP I was hoping you'd identify the keyboard - it has a nifty acoustic sound. Great work - harmony, subs, licks.

[@TheJazzPursuit]

It’s a Nord Stage 2! If you have access to the nord sound library I can let you know the specific sample if that helps?

[@mikekempsgaragejazz6626]

Brilliant tutorial, thanks

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Thanks Mike!
