You are a great teacher.. thank you so much for breaking this old classic down for all of us that want to learn it... I love the jazzy version.. if other people don't like it., they can find other versions of this tune elsewhere on here... but in my opinion this one of the best... keep them coming!
Hey man. Love this arrangement and all your uploads. One thing though: Are you sure about that Em7-F#m7? Sounds a little off to me. That said, I haven't been able to come up with anything I like more.
@Sawlon You mention at 7:15 that you do "jazz fingering" instead of just a barré. I just misunderstood it, you clearly mean your right hand, I just thought your barré looked weird, I don't support my index finger with any other fingers.
Thanks so much for this awesome Summertime arrangement. I am doing an open mic with my daughter on vocals and was looking for a jazzy arrangement for this song. Thanks again...oh don't worry about the hair...I am going to check out your other stuff...take care Sharon
On my work computer I could see the Tabs, but now that I'm at home, the tabs aren't showing up. How do I fix this? (Other than bringing my guitar to work and playing at lunch)
I sing this song all the time - I love this song...Sometime if I ever get back home, maybe we could do something together. Working on getting a little video together singing...we'll see. Should have dried your hair first! - Love you - Glenda
hello, a great lesson this is. I just wanted to ask about the part you played at the very end. Was that a song or something you made up at the moment? It sounds pretty cool.
I like this arrangement but I can't help but notice that the tab contradicts what you play. After the D9 the second time round you slide into the 7th fret on the 5th string but the tab says the 6th string. This little passage is tabbed one string lower than you play/explain. Am I wrong?
COME ON! Whoever you are you will be able to play this wonderfully simple arrangement very well explained. Stop surfing and get playing. I'm rubbish but got it really quickly - good luck friends.
Great videos. But I suggest that you don't explain each string and fret your playing. I would just show the tab on the screen and then play the part slowly a few times over. This way we can hear it and play along.
I'm a big fan of you. Thank you so much!!

but this is for E , right? I play it on Dm, so the correct thing would be to transpose this solo and start from the 3rd fret instead of 5th ?

Great sounding arrangement, but I have a question. Why is it necessary to do a barré like you do, and not just a normal one finger full barré?

@MarcBeckK The Am7 chord? Thanks!

@Sawlon You mention at 7:15 that you do "jazz fingering" instead of just a barré. I just misunderstood it, you clearly mean your right hand, I just thought your barré looked weird, I don't support my index finger with any other fingers.
