💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This week's video is on my Autumn Leaves fingerstyle guitar arrangement.
In this arrangement, the melody and harmony of Autumn Leaves are separated into two distinct parts, so it's great for working on your solo guitar chops.
In the video:
• I play through the whole Autumn Leaves fingerstyle guitar arrangement with notation and tabs on the screen
• I walk through some technique reminders that will help you play the piece more smoothly
And at the end I have four suggestions for how to make this simple arrangement sound more advanced.
I hope you enjoyed my Autumn Leaves fingerstyle guitar arrangement! Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)

Grazie!

[@bormel2]

Thanks!

[@integrity5264]

usually when I play my wife yells up to me "SHUT THE DOOR". That changed when I started to play this song. She came upstairs and said "THAT IS Beautiful" So my many thanks for this lesson. Now, practice, practice, practice.🎶

[@Bluegrassfan01]

I just discovered this video. I don’t play guitar any longer because of a left shoulder injury, but do play ukulele. I watched the patterns in this video and the only one I play is the pinch pattern. It took 3 years, with embellishments, for “Puff the Mighty Dragon.” Next was “Freight Train,” then “City of New Orleans.” Thanks to you I have 3 new patterns to learn. Of course, with only four strings, I have had to adapt.

[@maryalferez4204]

Thank you,Sir, for sharing these fingerstyle to serve as inspiration to returning guitarists like me.

[@davidlegalley1161]

Thank you Jared! I'm not much of a Jazz enthusiast, but I am a struggling finger style student and this Song Lesson is musically beautiful and a perfect Chord Melody finger style lesson 👍🏾👍🏽🎯🕊❗️

[@soundguitar]

So glad you liked it, David! Thanks for commenting. :) Cheers, ~~Jared

[@paologeurtsen8162]

Hi Jared, Just stumbled upon your channel and really like yor way of explaining. I love playing finger style guitar, but often struggle between way too complicated partiture that takes me ages to figure out and memorise and oversimplified tabs or multi track tabs. This is exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed to your channel and looking forwards to seeing more of you.

[@sockenfrank]

Thank you. Wonderful lesson.

[@soundguitar]

Glad you liked it, thanks! -Jared

[@OtRatsaphong]

Beautiful!!! Been wanting to learn Autumn leaves for a while. This lesson is clearly presented. Adding this as my new project. Subscribing from Australia 👍🙏👏👏👏

[@gerrylowrey1235]

I have also just got to play this song the way you feel it it absolutely moves me and I feel it when I play it .every version of it I am very interested in, trouble is l only have my phone l know tablature but I don't know how to download to my phone, l love this song l think all those examples you have shown are so moving and how l would like to play it .

[@jzgtr100]

Thanks for the great lesson. I play 9 or 10 gigs per month as a jazz guitarist. Did an occasional gig on upright bass until I got carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand. Luckily I’m still able to play guitar gigs. I play duo, trio, quartet, mostly behind singers, horn players, guitar duos, guitar-bass duos, etc. There are a lot of things that I’m not good at, but the one that bugs me the most is that I’m afraid to take a solo guitar gig. I’m not bad at chord melody, but it sounds thin, because I’m not good at fitting in the bass lines with melody notes and letting chords ring, like two instruments, as you mentioned. I’m about to immerse myself in this lesson. Hoping to use this as a templet for more stuff. I’ll keep you posted. I just discovered your channel. New subscriber. Thanks, again!

[@matttdrum]

Nice ! I do believe that I have my new guitar project. I spent about 2 years learning " Classical Gas " ( I'm a drummer so yeah , it took me a while..) and now , on to Autumn... Thank you very much

[@soundguitar]

Right on, Matt! Great to hear. Let me know how it goes :) -Jared

[@gerrylowrey1235]

I wish l knew how to get this on my phone, l absolutely love this song and your tuition sounds great.

[@theresidentalien1779]

Thanks!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much!! :))

[@johricpea]

Great lesson. I have been using Autumn Leaves as a framework for your Nail the Changes course (Minor and major 251s). I have been working on Jens Larsen's chord melody arrangement in the lower register (also in G minor) so this may force me into more fretboard territory. Together they may help me see the fretboard better and hopefully integrate the material.

[@soundguitar]

Awesome that you're working on the same song in several different ways/arrangements. That's the way to go to get it down deeply! Great to hear what you're up to, thanks for sharing :) -Jared

[@dorothypagliarini6376]

Nice arrangement! Thank you

[@michaeldavistodd6485]

Just stumbled over your videos recently and have found them very helpful. Thank you. Is your Telecaster an American Pro II Telecaster?

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

I like the version ‘Les Feuilles Mortes’ by Yves Montand

[@jeffproctor201]

Hi Jared thanks for the video, do you ever provide a Guitar Pro file?

[@soundguitar]

Thanks for asking. I don't use Guitar Pro, but using it and then sharing the files is a great idea that I'll consider doing in the future. Cheers,

[@jeanclaudebornetto9440]

Bonjour, merci et bravo… but what about the first part of this french tune which is a pretty one when played in chord melody « les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle… » and so on, rubato , without any tempo. Have a try. Please. Cheers. ( an old man from France ).

[@michaelgaurnier3108]

Hello Jared, I wonder if you would disclose what amp you are using? Your tone is always really really nice!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks, Michael! Glad you like the tone. I'm using a Fender Blues Junior with the bass turned up for warmth. I really like the way it sounds with my tele :) I mic it up with an SM57 right at the center of the speaker but facing it at a slight angle. I use a holy grail spring reverb pedal but don't really do anything else to it.

[@michaelgaurnier3108]

@@soundguitar Thank you. Nice and simple. Blues Juniors sound amazing. I’m surprised you use a reverb pedal over the reverb on the amp. It must have a great sound. I just tried a semi hollow custom shop télé yesterday next to a few 1960s fenders. It was the only new guitar that sounded almost as good as a 1966 strat. I’m a les Paul guy, but it sounded a lot better than the les Paul’s I tried…

[@nowsingsing]

I could only reach the Chords with Color pdf from the emails, where could I find tabs for this?

[@soundguitar]

I just received a notice from the software company that I use to deliver the PDFs that they are experiencing delays and interruptions in the deliveries and service but they're working on fixing it. Sorry for the trouble! Send me an email and I'll get you the sheet music directly. [e-mail]

[@nowsingsing]

@@soundguitar thank you !

[@TheJELLIBN]

Nice, but I'm not there yet :( Thanks

[@soundguitar]

no worries! You'll get there!! :)

[@makeamericaguitaragain]

Min 5:37 That's what she said :-)

[@larrybooth4802]

I believe the score needs a correction. After the repeat where the words are "I used to hold", the tab notation is not correct. At least it doesn't conform to what you are playing. And doubt most people could actually do 5-0-9 on the 3rd, 4th, & 5th strings. Let me know if this has been corrected and I will download a new version. Thanks. I love this solo guitar rendition. It's just the sort of thing I'm trying to learn.

[@soundguitar]

Hi Larry, thanks for pointing it out! Good eye. Yes, that was a mistake and it's been corrected in the downloadable version :) Glad you like the arrangement. Cheers, -Jared

Too much talk!

[@pederlettstroem980]

A teacher must talk, if you want to learn.
