Very well done, Dave! I’ve been putting off diving deeper into jazz guitar( I’m more of a horn player for jazz) but now I’m starting with Take 5! Your video is well structured and easy to follow Thanks!

[@DaveElke]

Songs like Autumn Leaves and Blue Bossa are good starting points as well, cheers.

Never have I seen such a thorough analysis of Take Five! Just fantastic.

[@DaveElke]

An, I tend to dive deep into each song, just can’t help it ha!

[@deepikavs4330]

Amazing! Thank you so much! Been wanting to learn this for so long!

[@DaveElke]

It's a fun one to play!

I trained it Long time ago in Dänemark on Holiday … but forgot it anyhow up to this time.

[@DaveElke]

Wow, I would love to travel there some day!

Great Job man.

0:58 the first 5 notes here reminded me of George Benson's This Masquerade. Why is that? I'm not really schooled.

[@DaveElke]

Ohh, I should do a lesson on that song. I love playing that one.

Yeah the original is much simpler than lot of people have interpreted it over the years.

[@alexanderlupol2236]

Sorry, but it is advisable to tune the guitar

[@DaveElke]

It was in tune when I bought it :)

[@SuperWolffie]

it is easier with tabs......

Its not about playing the song, but understanding it
