TAKE FIVE - Lesson Time Stamps 00:57 PERFORMANCE (Regular Tempo) A SECTION 01:59 Explanation 04:45 Demonstration B SECTION - 05:01 Explanation 11:36 Demonstration 12:08 PERFORMANCE (Slow Tempo) Apologies for saying the song is by Dave Brubeck. I know it was written by Paul Drsmond. I referred to the famous Dave Brubeck Quartet version.

The oh so lovely Sandra Sherman is in the house! My favorite lady on You Tube! Much appreciation Sandra for doing this lesson for us. I used to know this song many moons ago, but I need to start over again with it and this is perfect. You work very hard in providing these lessons for us and I want you to know you are very much appreciated! You're a delight!

Danke Sandra!!! Unser Gitarrenlehrer war hin und weg, wie gut vorbereitet wir in den Unterricht kamen! Dank Deiner didaktisch tollen und gelassenen Art zu erklären! Greetings from Cologne Kurt

very well explained, I am grateful to you. Right now I'm in a nursing home and i will work before going to God. Thank you for all this knowledge sharing. God takes care of you

Lovely. Thanks a lot for demystifying this jazz classic for me.

Thank you for your clear and patient lessons. I have been a blues/folk/whatever I could learn player for a number of years. While I have always enjoyed listening to jazz I always felt that it was beyond my reach as a player. You demystify it in such an accessible way. No condescension and always leaving room for someone to learn the, for lack of a better term, better way to play it. I enjoyed your lesson on song for my father and this song has been one of my favorites for quite awhile. All the best to you. Keep it up!

I always liked Take 5... cool rhythmically, in how the chords “share” the 5 count. And, what a melody😉. I remember learning it from George Benson’s CTI recording of it, way back. As usual, your analysis as you went through the lesson provides great insights (wish I had that back then!). Missed “lunch,” but had a great Moto ride👍😉. Be well!

Glad to hear you learn something from it, while having fun. Keep swinging 🎶 🎸

What a neat way to play an Eb-7. That position keeps the tone "consistant" with the other tones. Some people will play a chord at say the third fret, and then instead of playing the next chord in the tune at the fourth or fifth fret they will jump up to the eighth or ninth fret, which breaks the consistancy of the tune. I see that with some players who will play a CM7 chord at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fret, and then jump up to the eighth and ninth fret to play a C#dim. Their logic is the first string on the ninth fret is a C#, so that is where the diminish is to be played. And try as you may, you can't convince them that a C#dim can also be played at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fret, by just raising the bass note. I think it's a pride thing. The idea that, "I play the right chord, so why do I have to change it because someone thinks their chord is better"? So glad there are people like you on the net who lead us "constantly learning" swing guitar players down the correct path with rewards at the end. Keep up the good work and thanks.

I love this lesson - 'Take Five' is what got me into jazz all those years ago - and I've put off learning it until today... which is probably the biggest mistake of my life! However - having spent a lot of my time playing blues and messing with the pentatonic scales... what you refer to as the 'beginner' shapes fall more naturaly for my fingers. I'll continue to work on my 'jazz' shapes... but just being able to finally play it in any form is a small miracle! No guesses as to what the rest of my weekend looks like!

@GuitarversumSandraSherman

Жыл бұрын

It's all just a matter of practice. The Pentatonic was difficult in the beginning too. At least to make it sound bluesy, want it? Now it's ready, bc for years you didn't play anything else. Now it's time to add to that. But I have improv tutorials on how to make the Pentatonic sound jazzier and how to generally use it in jazz. Type "Pentatonic Guitarversum" in the YT search box to find those tutorials (for major and minor chords)

Thanks Sandra. I have just started learning Jazz after 40 years of playing guitar. Best wishes Paul
