I’ve been playing guitar for 50 years, rock, blues, country, but only recently got into learning jazz. When I sat down to learn the daunting RHYTHM CHANGES, I realized I had been playing it for 50 years already. Its in everything from the Allman Bros to Jed Clampett, swing, blues, the Flintstones…

i love the historical break downs, its funny how the old way of thinking about things can seem so fresh

I think I finally understand what rhythm change means, you've been very helpful.

Thank you Denis for all the great content you create!

Thank you for all of your efforts to support and educate the guitar/music community

You are funny and educational at the the same time. Great stuff. I hope you get the recognition you deserve which is your actual followers 10 times (at least).🙋🏼‍♂️😎

More excellence from Mr. Chang!

Love this, more people need to explain this as well as you.

i just got your improv course on soundslice and its excellent!

Brilliant and entertaining analysis. Please - Keep them coming, Denis.

Thx Denis.....all good !!!

Hey Dennis thankyou ! another historically interesting video all good stuff like the old ways me. FV speaks the blues freaking awesome his improv is quite often more musical than the head imo..

Brilliant lesson, thanks so much!

thank you Denis for sharing all this !

Sounding great Denis!

thank you Denis !

Really interesting Denis! Thank you ☺️

Great video Denis!

Nagasaki is an early example 1928

No matter what the rhythm changes tune is called or what the rhythm section plays I always play the changes to Seven Come Eleven

Shout out to Slim Gaillard for playing dozens (hundreds?) of rhythm changes tunes dating to the 1930s.

No G7 in bar 1 innit. EDIT: a bit of context; haven’t watched the whole video yet so it’s possible/likely you bring this up but this was a Barry Harris talking point; Parker never played G7 in bar 1 and reserved the G7 for bar 3 (if it’s played at all) instead just staying on the Bb6/Gm7 for the first bar. I infinitely prefer RC this way but it’s almost never taught like this. Barry also had a version of a bop Blues that I’ve never seen elsewhere but sounds fantastic.

Je commence á parcourir tes derniers videos petit á petit. Merci encore pour tout ce contenu de qualité. Je vois aussi que tu joues de temps en temps sur une 5th avenue de chez Godin. Ayant eu une moi meme, je suis curieux de savoir comment tu trouves le manche. J'ai vendu la mienne car je n'ai jamais reussi á m'y faire. Un melange bizzarroide entre une acoustique et une electrique mais trop epais sur le debut du manche (a mon gout au moins). Des avis la -dessus?

Maybe a question for you . This is great and giant steps is next on my viewing list . But . I’m looking for a guitar that can bridge this and be overdriven with some fuzz .. I’ve noticed the trini lopez but maybe something less .. btw I have purchased from soundslice and thank you ! I would love to see Sunny transcribed Ala birelli and Jocho! Great video!

What to play is up to debate? Yes, a master debate, if you will...sorry, genetic condition prevents me from emotionally maturing beyond eighth grade!
