Take Five - Lucas Holmgren

A fingerstyle rendition of the Dave Brubeck quartet song - take five. Based on Chet Atkins' arrangment. This is played on an ibanez artcore through a fender acoustisonic amp. Theres a bit of improv and messing around at the end. Please comment, if it is constructive. Thank you for listening! Sorry, no tabs available of this version.

Note: It has been a number of years since I recorded this, thank you for the large number of views everybody! :)

if you want to play jazz you need to learn all the modes and arpeggios everywhere on the neck...Your chord work is honestly better than I was expecting....try not to extend your licks so long, let them breath, for example; the pentatonic lick you used at the end didn't add anything because it was just cluttered nonsense, try to avoid those tangents. This song just jams on Bm7 for the solo section, learn a melodic minor and throw it in, plus aeolian, dorian ect....

@thejazzman8 Hey Man I appreciate the thoughts. One thing to remember, this video is from over three years ago, I was still a young buck who was still trying to cram a bunch of knowledge into one song, I was learning a lot of stuff but definitely had a lot to learn about subtlety and restraint, as well as more chords. As far as the middle section, that came out of nowhere during the recording, just decided that it needed some improv, little did I know that is hard to do in 5/4 time :) Thanks

Would you please answer my second question too; do you know how old is this song?

[endlessepic]

@dabiri58 I believe its from the 50s or 60s. View DAve Brubeck quartet Take Five.

please answear my question: How many years have you been playing? you are amazing, I wonder if you played it from a real/fake book or just by ear, in case you did the last, how much does it took?

[endlessepic]

Thank you so very much for all the kind feedback. I've been playing for about 5 years I believe however this video was about a year ago...I did it pretty much all by ear due to my lack of funds to purchase tab books, hence the "variations" It took me about 2 hours of listening and playing a long to work it all out and then random practice at various times to play it naturally.

Thank you

nice to see a young person playing that style...great job young man...

You are proof that good music and an appreciation for it are timeless. If you aren't doing it already, you should look around for some kind of music in the park summer series. You are more than good enough to solo a set in a show line up.

Love it .. great taste compared to the trash screaming noise put to cd today.
