Sunny ( Smooth Jazz ) - Guitar Lesson

Here you can learn the theme, the chords and the improvisation of the jazz standard " Sunny " such as played by Pat Martino. The " Theme " and " Chords " section is the same for everybody but on the improvisation I have made 2 sections. A " Beginners " and an " Expert " section. Even if you are an expert it makes sense to check out the beginners section and opposite because you will find some usful imformation on both. In the expert section I have made an analysis on the modes which can be used for this chord progression :
A-7 / G-7 C7 / Fmaj7 / B-7b5 E7#9
A-7 / G-7 C7 / Fmaj7 / B-7b5 E7#9
A-7 / C7 / Fmaj7 / Bb7
B-7b5 / E7#9 / A-7 / E7#9
The modes which are used
Beginners + Expert - A blues scale over the entire track
Expert :
A-7 : Aeolian
G-7 : Dorian
C7 : Mixolydian
Fmaj 7 : Lydian ( or Ionian )
B-7b5 : Locrian
E7#9 : Phrygian Nat. 3
Bb7 : Lydian b7
Introduction 0:07
Theme 3:14
Chords 7:57
Improvisation Beginners 11:45
Improvisation Expert 15:50

[@Roby4365]

great lesson, thank you very much HP. Please could you tell me what kind of battery do you use as a background? Thank you.

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Roberto - you are welcome. I don't really get what you are asking for. Do you mean the software I am using for the backing track ?

[@Roby4365]

HPCrazy Sorry HP, I asked you the question in a confused way ... I would like to know what software you use for your musical base, thanks.

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Sweet lesson Hp,Thank you! (If you could display the chord shapes on tab at your future lessons that would be great help as I couldn't get the explanation of Bm7 and t E7#9 and just gave it up.I know that I should look it up if I want but I'm HP Lazy.. :D ) Thanks for your time anyway for your awesome lessons,hope my comment helps you some way.

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Peter, yeah I know this would be a great Feature. To tell the truth I am very lazy too - specially when it comes to Tabs. I get so many requests for Tabs which stay unanwered because... you name it ... I am too lazy :D

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Fair enough then :)

[@cayocayo73]

buen aporte , me puedes decir cual efecto usas en tu guitarra? gracias

[@Hpcrazy]

There is a Fender amp with a delay, a bit of oktaver and some reverb.

[@rajeshgumber363]

Hi HP , thankyou for this lesson, do you have all the tabs for the improvisation etc on your website? Thankyou

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Rajesh, you are welcome - i don't think so since this video is from 2018. You need to check.

[@rajeshgumber363]

@@Hpcrazy No problems HP, I did quickly check on your website on my phone and there's a backing track there. I'll have a closer look on my laptop later. Thankyou!

[@dinandwork3346]

mantap

[@DespairQuietlyPlease]

One thing...I'm finding it hard to follow the model demonstration in expert improv and really want to be able to learn the different modes...is there an accompanying tab or pdf?

[@Hpcrazy]

Hi Simeon, sorry to hear that. On this tutorial there are no tabs available but on the latest ones there are. Therefore go to the HPCrazy Guitar Acacemy www.hpcrazy.com/club.html

[@afrikan1000]

Hi, I'm an intermediate guitar player. Do you have a audio-visual product that I can purchase to learn how play this song (playing scales over the chords etc.)

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Lancelot - ok I understand. On this tutorial not - but all current new tutorials come with some material to download. Therefore you need to join the HPCrazy Students Club - check my website for that.

[@rolandbouchat7462]

nice, just the Bm7b5 on the second part sounds a bit a bit awkward don't you think? A bit..just a bit

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Roland, there are version where you use a Bm7 instead. I prefer the Bm7b5

[@jimmypage9283]

Check out Georgie Fame,s version, excellent.

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Jimmy - thanks for the suggestion will check it out. :-)

[@jimmypage9283]

@@Hpcrazy picked my guitar up sometime early morning and improvised along with your excellent lesson, now I can't stop being sunny😁

[@karlsmith3281]

One of those tunes where if ya fluff the melody ya can bluff quite easily with a pentatonic note, suits my limited knowledge well.

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Karl, yeah this is indeed one of the songs you can go through with just the pentatonic :-)

[@BESTPLAY2011]

Fine ! Ewerybody can enter !

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Alex, yeah that was the idea of this tutorial. It's for all levels.

How do you play the E7#9 at 9:52?

8 7 6 7

[@colorsmusicastudio8646]

hey man whats a tempo this song...congratulations

[@Hpcrazy]

Dont remember exactly but around 105 bpm I think :-)

From the elitist series - the Jay Jay french model.

[@unitedwestand7159]

KInd of new to some of these chord forms. I was following along fine when you were more descriptive of the chord shapes. Your camera is on a slight angle and then you started speeding up too much. I went off the video and got the chord shape off the net and came back. Then you started mumbling a bit with a chord I missed in the middle. Just some constructive critic Mate. I was enjoying it and then got lost. Thanks anyway and cheers.

[@Hpcrazy]

Hey Thomas - thanks for your feedback. I always try to improve the quality of the video's.
