This is our first jazz lesson! Sweet Georgia Brown is the classic of all classics. In this lesson I cover the basic melody and the chord progression behind it. Later on, I'm going to teach you a solo by Benny Goodman, a famous clarinet player. I'll break down his solo and teach you some fundamentals of jazz improvisation. Enjoy!

Looking forward to Sweet Georgia Brown SWING! At the end of the song will You explain the chords on the fiddle for “going around circle of 4ths back to the dominate!” F (A7) to D7, to G7, to C7 whch returns to the F. Question, “playing the 7th chord on the Fiddle, do you play the Root & the 7b tone, as I do on the guitar. Or od I have alot to learn and play the 3 or 5 tone and enclude the 7b tone?” Thanks
The important thing when playing a “7” chord, is to include the 7b tone along with some other note from the chord/arpeggio. This “other” note could be either the root note, 3rd, or 5th. Any combination will bring out the “7” chord color, although each will sound slightly different.
Whooops!

Since this is actually the lead in to your Jazz tutorials, I’m thinking it would be kind of useful to work through. How’s bought finding it and putting it back where it belongs.
