Thanks, Dave! You do a great job! ❤️

Wow! Years of studying... (without playing guitar; spine injury)... practicing everything on My Piano app with my good hand. I never played jazz the 30 years befor the injury: I played lots of rockabilly guitar, bass, drums, (& mandolin for bluegrass & Americana music)... you just helped me bridge the gap between what I learned by ear and the little bit of theory I was taught as a kid... and learning jazz blues with the tension chord lesson, this lesson, and modern jazz chords... something FINALLY clicked tonight. I think one main thing was THINK LIKE A BASS PLAYER! HOW WOULD I HAVE WALKED THIS PIECE ON THE BASS. See... Yesterday I discovered I was overthinking and over complicating my approach to learning jazz-- because I couldn't figure out the pieces I love by ear (Thelonious, Chet, Nina, Sonny Rollins, Wes,etc)... I used to figure out everything by ear starting with figuring out the main key, and I knew the chord families, so it was easy with Hendrix, zeppelin, VH, Floyd, Gene Vincent/ Stray Cats... bitty with jazz I was trying to figure out ALL the chords that were being played! Ha! No wonder I was confused (besides playing totally by ear without a guitar)... But with my revelation to start figuring out the bass to find the key of the tune, then studying the 10 most important jazz progressions, then your incredible jazz chord lessons, and now this lesson? I realize I have what it takes. You take things that sound very complicated, and teach them in a way that makes it seem simple-- it makes sense. And I can see the chord intervals you're using, and understand why... great reminder to play b7 Mixolydian mode on th he dom 7th chords, e.t.c. I can't even thank you enough! Im going to share a video of me playing a little once I get this left hand stronger. I'm grateful for your lessons. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

All the best for you! Hope you can transfer everything to rhe guitar that you know on the piano and in theory already.

[@aaroncorr486]

I can play a bit now thanks largely to spending a lot of time with your videos, I try them all. This one is more challenging than it looks, a week doing 2 hrs a night and I’m still not nailing the feel but definitely getting there, it’s great fun to play…..thanks for all your efforts, my favourite jazz tutor on YT.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Great to hear you are patient and consisent with your practicing. A little goes a long way!

[@andisgalaxysvieractive]

Another great blues lesson to add to my repertoire. I've watched your tutorial on walking bass a few months back and tried to apply it to a (standard) blues. This lesson is a good control for me, if I did it correctly.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Tell me, if you think your own lines work out.

[@sisirider1963]

Thanks Sandra. I can no longer ignore the hybrid picking technique. Up to now, I am embarrassed to admit, I have been using a pick exclusively and just trying to make it all work. Time to expand my jazz horizons!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

This walking bass technique can also be played quiet well with fingers only. But I wouldn't recommend using pick only. I guess you know, I have a dedicated tutorial on how to practice hybrid picking.

[@sisirider1963]

Guitarversum Sandra Sherman Yes, I sure do. I just can’t get my Fred Flintstone fingers to sound like yours. I’ll keep trying.

[@harveyhensley875]

@@sisirider1963 I'm trying with thumbpick and fingers like Chet Atkins

[@sisirider1963]

Harvey Hensley Good luck! Chet Atkins was a pioneer. He sounded like two guitarists playing at once.

[@tombola4673]

It looks so easy to play, thank you, Sandra. Both thumbs UP!!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

It takes some practicing. Always focus on the next chord. Your eyes should focus on that upcoming chord, so you won't get in a hurry.

[@salvadorgarcia8661]

Very good Sandra, the interpretation as always excellent, and in addition jazz Blues, I is to hear the word "blues" and I already have the full day. Wonderful!

Hey, didn't know you're a blues fan 😊

[@JustinHatt1]

This was exactly what I needed! Thanks so much! I never knew how to put both the chords and bassline together. I could always do separately but to do them together was a challenge with the syncopated stabs. This was great! Much respect thanks so much! I got it all together now!

Thank you, Justin. It's a pleasure to help! Stay safe ❤️

Ahhh... lunch was left over chicken today... wasn’t too excited about that. But, your walking lines cheered me up. I always love the feel and sound of walking through a 6-2-5-1 with the chord stabs😄. And, there are so many ways of approaching it. As always, your insights are also as helpful as the lines. I liked the comments on “the bass player’ perspective.” For anyone new to Sandra’s lessons - do check out her link to quartal comping at the end. That goes great with these concepts! Baba👋

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Mmm, love chicken. Now I'm hungry 😊 Yeah, I could play 1625 in an endless loop. Sometimes I do and noodles around.

Solid and clear presentation as usual Sandra. Thanks a lot. Would you consider doing a follow-up with ideas for soloing over a blues progression like this. Especially the I - vi - ii - V turnaround at the end? It would be nice to see how you might handle it. Thanks.

I already did that month's ago. Just type "jauz blues solo guitarversum" or something similar into the YT search bar.
