Here is my quick take "challenge" on Blue Bossa. I had learned this tune before but, frankly, was a bit iffy on the chord changes and keys, etc. So, my challenge here was to solidify the harmony in my mind. I also wanted to practice the kind of soloing that leaves space between phrases and does not sound too busy. Feedback welcome. And, of course, apologies for the ocassional hiccups.

I am having trouble finding live people to jam with where I live. So, lately, I have been considering whether jamming online in real time might be an option. I have read some good reviews of various free and open access jamming software packages, on reddit and other platforms, so I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this crazy idea, and with what results. Thanks in advance.

I was after a couple of things here: a more deliberate phrasing, as opposed to just noodling up and down the scale, and staying the same area of the fretboards. If you are curious about the results, feel free to check it out, and thanks for watching.

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.

I just watched this video of 10 jazz guitar players taking on Autumn leaves in 10 very different ways. It was so cool to see how they approached it and how this song that everyone knows can sound so special. https://youtu.be/41KGLQrieb0?si=7wm30VyVrAqUc7vQ

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 """

This is not an arrangement but what I would call a semi-structured noodle around Summertime. This is my first attempt to come up with some semblance of a chord melody thing just based on my knowledge of the tune and intuition. No chord dictionaries or other resources were consulted, with the exception of looking up another fingering for Em7b5. So, in a way, I am following Bill Frisell´s advice from a video recently posted here, to just follow the melody and to not complicate things. Not to say, of course, that the results are Frisell-like. Not at all.

After posting the autumn leaves challenge, Rene told me it would be cool to do it with you guys. Here's what i suggest. Everybody interested works on the song and posts their result before the end of september. You can learn an arrangement, make your own, solo, just melody, just chords... whatever you feel will help you improve. We are here to help each other so i suggest that for one thing to work on we say 2 things we liked... we can also just like. That way we don't end up discouraging others. We are not all at the same level and we can all work on so many things. So if you're interested please respond in the comments... if there's only two of us we might decide to just not do it. https://www.skool.com/jazz-guitar-fellowship/autumn-leaves-720d6f5b?p=08df1637

Hello, fellow guitar players. I'm excited to be here. Been playing for a few years, but have been getting into jazz the last year or two. Almost completely self-taught, and my biggest challenge right now is to devise a path of connected steps/tasks which would result in the largest amount of progress. Looking forward to participating.

"Days of Wine and Roses," warts and all. Not my arrangement, but adapted by me for my ability level (i.e. simplified). Feedback is welcome.

Hi Fellows this is my fist post.

Hi all, Not sure the world needs another amateur version of Autumn Leaves, but here goes, nonetheless. I play it an octave lower than usual, to use shell voicings. Feedback and suggestions are welcome, as always. And, as soon as I posted this, I saw the Auturm Leaves challenge post. So, something to work on. I am thinking of focusing on soloing and compling for that one.
