Glad you made a lesson on it - and, the rhythm comments are as important as the chords😄👍. I’ve always enjoyed comping this one behind our trumpet player - I even strip it down more to open up space.

A very underestimated and unusual song and composition Sandra, and a great lesson as always. The original music is in Db, but the early American transcriptions were in F, so F became the usual key that singers and instrumentalists played and sang the song in. It's also unusual because in a lot of the chords on the guitar, the actual root is not played at all. xx

Hi Sandra, love your jazz lessons, so much so I have added an Epiphone Emperor II Joe pass guitar to my collection. I play it through a Fender Blues Deluxe vintage amp. I must admit I am struggling with getting a jazzy tone out of this guitar/amp combo. I love Bossa Nova so once again thanks for all the tutorials. I was wondering whether you have ever considered arranging Billy Joel's "Just the way you are" Bossa style? If you have will you share it with us, bossa lovers? Thanks from Canada

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Hi Sandra, yes I have watched your video. I have been able to get a more jazzy tone, by increasing the middle and presence settings. I tried to increase the volume to a point where the sounds distorts but went back to volume set at 2. I’m playing indoors and my 40 watt tube is really loud. I’ m using flat wound strings 11 gauge, love them, so quiet. I believe I now have a nice jazz tone and cannot improve it by fiddling with my gear any longer. It’s up to me now. Tone is in our fingers, right? Thank you for all your great advice. Merry Christmas!

I don't know. Maybe Iinstinctly wanted to empathize the difference between the Fmaji on the A section and the Gbmaj7 in the B section. F# would have looked strange, when you just had an F. The F#m7 on the other hand is the II of the II V (F#m7 to B9) in the key of E major, whicj its a sharp key.
