[maomaotittymcmao]

i am yet to develop such feeling in my jazz guitar playing; good job man.

[zenobardot]

Zindars also told Hinkle that Bill wrote the piece in Zindars' East Harlem apartment. See page 82 of "How My Heart Sings", the biography of Bill Evans. It's currently viewable in Google Books.

[italianguerrilla]

I need that midi file! can you give it to me^?

[SIRONEDRAGON]

great playing

[abstrakt237]

very nice

[tele2000]

Very nice, loved it! I'm working on this song, writing a chord melody for my guitar lesson. This was most helpful. Very tasteful playing.

[tonetubs]

Good example of not over playing, nice man, seems a little different from the changes in my real book, or maybe it's just me. nice

[gitaarpim]

anyone has got tabs of this? love it!

[Hucho]

Which style is this in Band in the box? nice brushes

[catandpiddle]

nice rendition indeed. you've nailed it, and kept the flavor so well.

[scottwbutler]

Yeah, very nice treatment of this song. Very sparce playing says more sometimes then a flurry of notes. Great chord voicing. Thanks for posting this. One of my favorite songs. Miles would smile. He will allways live on.....

[jsquare62]

Very cool. You have a great style and concept. Right on.

[chickenfinger2010]

I really enjoyed this. Loved it.

[lilhomefight]

how can i make this backgroundmusic or were can i find backgroundmusic for jazzguitar?

thanks

[ArtFeile]

The background have been made with Band in a Box.

[intune1234]

Great song and great playing! It's difficult to get the feel of this tune in the original tempo as was originally recorded, it's tough one to play especially on guitar. Kudos to you.

[MauroPavanelli]

Great 5 stars.

[TheSchoolsux345]

hey is that a dean palomino?

[bananacharlie]

Why do people keep playing this as a ballad? The playing was good but it was too up beat for me.

[Aarunmat]

where to purchase the play back dude...nice playing lol

[shavedgumby]

Bravo. Except noone can REALLY get their fingers to do that.

[sleeepingpills]

Tempo is too bright.

[FargandSirHomerlots]

i agree, but good job anyway

[xnophloglas]

Supposedly Miles gave Bill the chords G- and A+7 and asked "what would you do with this?", and the result was "Blue in Green", composed by Bill in the early hours of the morning on the day it was first recorded.

Incidentally, most fake books list the first chord of the tune (after the intro, when Miles comes in) as Bb maj #11, but on the recording they play G- there and it sounds great!

[VoodooChi]

The song is a series of chords, and it goes like this:

Gm7 - A7+5 - Dm7 - Cm7 - F7 - BbMaj7 - A7+5 - Dm7 - E7#9 - Am7 - Dm7

[smujiodome]

thanks

[mikoduciel]

wow, that's a nice piece of information, thanks!

[TransientWriting]

[bhebrews1214]

[Syllerud]

which guitar is that? and is that small solos of yours improvosation? if yes, which scale?:)

[GJVPJB458]

love this-right on point-would play in my rotation-bravo5 stars

[gnrher]

man where did you get the tabs or chords to play this sng? i'm a basisnst and i want to know...

[ArtFeile]

I got the chords on the real book.

[tehqin]

hmm, i'd think the real book would define the modal structure and maybe give a few chords used, but it actually gives a defined progression? which real book did you use and what volume?

[b4nt2k]

No offense to Miles, but Blue in Green is too good of a composition (especially compared to the other tracks on Kind of Blue) to be a Miles tune.

[markmarktarmann]

@b4nt2k miles claimed he wrote "donna lee" in his autobiography. i dunno. all blues .how about "four"? that's a pretty "good composition" from any angle.

[b4nt2k]

The song was by Bill Evans, not Miles Davis lol

[ryanstewartguitar]

it has been speculated that bill evans wrote part or perhaps all of blue in green, and he has co-credit for the song, yet it is still a miles davis tune.

[b4nt2k]

The Davis Association actually admitted sometime that it was Bill Evans that wrote it lol

[ArtFeile]

It has long been speculated that pianist Bill Evans wrote "Blue in Green", even though the LP and most jazz fakebooks credit Davis only with its composition. In his autobiography, Davis maintains that he alone composed the songs on Kind of Blue. The version on Evans' trio album Portrait in Jazz, recorded in 1959, credits the tune to 'Davis-Evans'. Earl Zindars, in an interview conducted by Win Hinkle, said that "Blue in Green" was 100-percent written by Bill Evans

[quartercherries]

Bill Evans is really a wonderful person, but I can't say I'm not a little disappointed to know miles didn't write it. I was under the impression the supreme longing outwardly evident under a heroine euphoria would expresso it

[Halo3sniper41306]

Does my ears good.

[xraycat30]

fantastic job

[gennation]

Great job.

[giuseppepitarella]

very nice complimenti.

[VINNN09]

awesome. where could i get a backup track like that? is it bass and drums only?

[talkingwall]

I'm a long time player too. I REALLY like your interpretation, man you are feelin' it. What a great tune for guitar too. I love playing this one but you are far better at it than I am. What do you think of Pat Martino's versions (Mission Accomplished & Live at Yoshi's)? Anyway, keep it up dude. I really enjoyed hearing you play. Back to the woodshed. Dang.

[pak087]

nice interpretation

[Jshido]

Brilliant. Can you share the chords for the first part (like first 50 seconds) please??

[TrummerMav]

Here we go^^

BbMaJ sHARP 11, A7 sharp9, Dmin9 Db7,Cmin7 F7b9,

BbMajA7 b13;Dmin6 9, E7 sharp9,Amin9,Dmin9

[fenderfatstrat1993]

Hey great guitar man, i really need the tabs to the music, i'm auditioning for my high school jazz band and i'm using this song do you think you could give tabs or is that to hard

[Nannada1212]

=O Oh my god, seriously? This for a high school jazz band? I've been playing for 2 and a half years and I can't even begin to wrap my infantile musical brain around anything by Miles Davis... Any high school kid (myself included) would be hard pressed to learn this.

[dreadmorayeel]

Lovely playing...beautiful tone...you dont need the drum machine IMHO...

[fabo231]

I keep on telling this is one of the best jazz standards & it's good to have it well played like this.
