Summertime (Dm) - Achim Kohl - Jazz Guitar Improvisation with Tabs

[@ShaneLondonJazzVideo]

What a superb jazz guitarist Mr. A.Kohl is. In each tune, he reveals his talent and his dedication to the guitar. SL

[@kevinjconroy]

thinking of learning this song, and looking through the you tube guitar videos, all the different versions of summertime, and I came across this....stopped right away and said to myself, now this guy knows what he's doing. smooth. love it. fantastic. you don't just play a lot of fast notes, you really play with feeling, and you have just the right laid back, "I do this in my sleep" approach. you don't try too hard and ruin it. perfect.

[@charlesrast4235]

I was thinking of learning this song in my dreams!

[@charlesrast4235]

Exactly what the world needs now. More beautiful music!🥰

[@mathiasfrandsen5468]

every year i come back to this song it's so good

[@giuseppepapace2675]

ottimo un grande brano complimenti alla chitarra bella acustica naturalmente un bravissimo al chitarrista 😀

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Thanks! 🙏

[@davidsullivan3205]

Recently found your channel. Great rendition of this classic. I really like how you continue to revisit the original melody. Many Jazz players do not and it is hard to tell which song they are playing. I am not a Jazz traditionalist but instead a rock-n-roll listener. I like hearing the melody during the improvisation. Great job!

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Thanks David ! Best regards from Germany

[@MrUwejacob]

I hope we become a good summer. like the melody

[@antidictador5538]

[@paulkitas4659]

Nice playing, love the last cord. Yeah I have a 137 also and I love it, never goes out of tune.I use it for rock as well

[@rickblodgett4562]

+Paul Kitas Gotta love that 137 custom, I just picked one up about a month ago to go along with my Fender Vibroverb amp. Now the only challenge is to play this well.

[@US-USER]

This is tastes delicious! Thank you! Дякую!

[@thomasbotch1744]

[@malie305]

Soo good!!!!!!!!

[@barralcosmopolis]

hello, could make a video playing Donna Lee? I m from Brazil. you play some Brazilian music?

[@jazzdogx5]

Great! What model guitar is that??? It looks like a ES-175 but thinner. I'd like to buy the transcription of your solo. Is the transcription the whole solo here?....or just partial? Again, Great!

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

thanks, it's a Gibson ES-137 Custom, it's not an archtop guitar, I changed the bridge with fine tuners. you can buy the complete transcription of this solo with backing track on my sheet music store.

[@jazzdogx5]

Thank You! :)

[@SamCuervo]

Wow. Incredible playing. I'm trying to learn more scales because I'm a soloist in my school jazz band. What scales were you playing here, if you would be kind enough as to let me know. PS, your how to improvise videos are great and very helpful.

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

DJ Shredd Productions Summertime is basically a D Minor Blues, you can play the D Minor Blues scale throughout the complete song. I've played also the D natural minor scale, the arpeggios and a lot of chromatic approach between the chord notes. look out for the dominant 7th chord A7 in measure #8, #14 and #16, there you can play the altered scale or (one of my favorite arpeggio) a diminished arpeggio (G, Bb, C#, E). more information about my style you will find in the transcription of my solo improvisation of this song. best regards from mainz, germany

[@steve0623]

I am currently working out your autumn leaves version, this will be next, but I think I may need more years on this planet

[@DrumGuitarDude]

Sehr gut gespielt!!!!

[@lagutheus5187]

Before any improvisation: You must be able to play the mody anywhere on the fretboard. After that you can add/leve notes-

[@lukeh567]

Too good :D

[@xerxes1407]

Amazing playing. I have the tabs, but it is even more exciting to just look at how you Play, catch the influence and improvise for myself. Thanx, anyway!

[@pinoangelini3644]

grande musicista, ammirevole

[@piresamadeu9846]

Considero o pai do improviso

[@eddievassallo]

Hi Friend, Greta rendition of a classic song.How do I down load the transcript for this song as your website is all in German. Can you please help. Many thanks

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

+Eddie Vassallo Hi Eddie, simply click on the english flagg on the left side of our website, than it's all in english . . .

[@christophkotter7406]

[@XxalkatrazxX]

[@chiaraangelini9114]

GREAT!!!

[@ochobass1987]

Brilliant

[@LAUptegrove]

Might I inquire as to how you're getting that sound? String type/gauge, amp & settings, other studio-type effects? Outstanding, as all of your videos are. I am working with a 137 custom and Fender Twin and just quite nail your sound. Thanks for the help.

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Hi Al, here is my gear list: Gibson ES-137 Custom, Pickups: Gibson Classic 57 Strings: Dr. Thomastik Bebop Strings 12 -- 50, medium string action (not too low!) Picks: Jim Dunlop Tortex Jazz III with a sharp tip I'm always using a little compressor, graphic EQ, and reverb, no amps for recordings, I play directly in my interface, that's all. But if you play with a Fender Twin you need a graphic EQ like MXR 6 or 10 band graphic EQ, you have to reduce the highs 2000 - 8000 khz about 2 db and cut the 16 000 khz. best regards from Mainz, Germany

[@TheYinyangman1]

Cool!! 👍🏾

[@PauloMasson]

Excelente

[@Dimamidima]

Awesome :)

[@steveb9325]

When you play live what amp do you use? Love your playing and your sound!

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

I always use a Polytone Mini Brute amp, best regards

[@negritud]

Awesome

[@yallowrosa]

very convincing!

[@shredsixsixsix9218]
