Lesson 12 Jazzy Shuffle Blues

I've been working on this one for some time, and finally this seems OK, worth posting

Thanks to @PapaRaptor for the excellent "How-to" videos in the VJR, this is also my first recording using Studio 1 Prime.

Those with really keen ears will notice that the C9 chord in Bar 6 is not the one that Griff uses, but I simply could not play that chord voicing so I chose a different one. Back in the 1960's when I started listening to Barney Kessell, Joe Pass and Tal Farlow I never dreamed that I would be able to play a chord solo like this one, so a huge Thank You to Griff.

Nice job. I remember that being a hard one. I should revisit it 6 or 7 years later and see if I can still do it

You've got the chord changes down, but now you need to put your big ears on and listen to the track while playing. You are just a bit off the beat.
Try working with Griff's play along a bit that might help.

Thanks for that Mike. I know what you mean - more listening and less hurrying needed. I'll keep coming back to this one, while moving on.
