Exactly what a lot of us needed to get the Melody so we can then get a feel for the chords and chord voicing. Thank you

Jazz** definitely check out the album Midnight Blue. It’s a more bluesy jazzy album.

[@marcosrodriguez7126]

Me too

[@ncuzdvarga4918]

Thanks for this video. I need scale explanation on this please.

[@JosephusDalrymple]

Would love to hear the solo you moved into at the end of the clip. Where can I find it?

[@jdavis6650]

Just trying to help. The on screen tab is incorrect. Just one note, but it's a melody in a well known song. Bar six is played correctly with D as the final note (as demonstrated), but the on screen tab shows it as D flat.

[@ecedefne6202]

thanks!

[@ritupabankotoky]

Thank you. Subscribed.

[@juhahuovio3548]

also deep purple greatest hits

[@jacksonreed9]

the tab says 2nd fret when you play the 6th fret on the Db on the last eighth of G7

[@fingerstyledojo]

its the same note

[@thejazzman4260]

Since most guitarplayers are terrible readers you can make a fortune by teaching like this. Audio and TABS!!! On the whole internet one cannot find a book with jazzstandards in TAB format. Im lucky that I van read music but many of my student only learned to play with tabs. Not with me offcourse.

[@jphumani]

Great Video!!! What scale would you use for this standard?

[@jazzstandardsforguitar798]

Use C Major for the A section except for the D7b5 chord, where you could use D Lydian Domiant. For the B Section most would be F Major scale but then go back to what you were doing in the A Section once the D7b5 chord comes back.

[@jphumani]

Great song !! Thanks...Got to learn how to play it. 'Take the A Train' , Duke Ellington, was an opening number on a Saturday night Armed Forces Radio Show that I listened to on Yokota AFB, Japan, 1954-57. I subscribed & will follow FretDojo.com.
