A lot of people have said they were new to jazz so to help them... and all of us, I thought it would be a nice challenge for us to choose 3 of our favorite jazz artists. Only 3!!! So choose wisely! This will evetually make a list for people to go discover new players.

Please do the following ASAP: -1- Watch the attached video and read the "Welcome" post. -2- Introduce yourself (make a new post in the "presentation" category) -3- Go a like and comment 2-3 guitarists' introduction on the JG Fellowship. Welcome aboard! 🎸 PS To consider this "action as complete", write a comment below such as "done!"

Here is what I came up with. I knew of this song but wasn't really familiar with it. It was kind of fun trying to figure it out. I'll resist the urge to point out any flaws. 😉 My attempt to record into an iPhone connected to my audio interface had a few issues, but I decided to embrace the white noise and intermittent ticking by turning on the vibrato pedal and making this a bit more lo-fi. https://youtu.be/bJ1NwRD1ED0 (If I get around to it, I might post up recordings of some of the more hairbrained versions of the song. My favorite is probably the Spaghetti Western version, but I also have a new dotted 8th arrangement, which would have required multiple cameras and more video editing than I care to do.)

A little bit of blues using color tones with one extension. Let me know what you think. https://youtube.com/watch?v=8o6KnKgPZhU&si=3NKBgpArA5qnl6tY

Here’s my version of Autumn Leaves. Bonus brain freezes and severe guitar face are included at no additional charge. https://youtu.be/rNmOjzLvtww?si=VaVdY7zxQcq6LYqa

A repost from @Mentor Jurgen Joarder -- thank you x 1000 """ I came across this video of Bill Frisell talking about melody, and how to add notes to that melody to create interesting "thin" chord melodies. It's really interesting and I really like this way of playing. https://youtu.be/FInW-BYXAxU?si=QGiJv7BSWbdkTnTG&t=162 """

Skills are not a direct function of talent (past a certain point.)

I found this in my feed... i don't even know what to say. Watch the intro. https://youtu.be/PD0xaVAj95A

Hi Fellows this is my fist post.

This is my latest assignment in the accelerator, thought i would share it with you. https://youtu.be/Zn_mjdJfINo

Been messing around with guitar for decades now at nearly 70 and retired thought I'd really like to learn some Jazz standards. Be nice to get a recognisable tune out of a guitar and keep my mind and fingers active, welcome all the help I can get and this group looks great.

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 13 years old. Played professionally with a trio for several years. Then DJs became popular and the band work faded away. I put my guitars away and didn’t pick them up until 30 years later. The pandemic got me started again. What a mistake to wait so long! All of the standards I played as chord melodies have been lost. I can still comp pretty well but only in the key of C. That’s the key the singer used. So now I’m working hard to relearn the old stuff develop some new skills. I joined TrueFire and things are starting to come together. I usually practice between one and three hours each day. Unfortunately, I’m not able to commit music to memory like I used to. Hoping to make some new friends here and maybe get some additional motivation.
