Noisy Nights ad lib (Jody Fisher/John Adsett)
While aiming to eventually play the musical score along with recorded chords of this song "Noisy Nights" by Jody Fisher in his Beginning Jazz manual, I decided to play some ad lib melody for now. I hope soon to make another video with the musical score on top of the recorded rhythm. The song is in Eb major.

Samba De Shauna (Jody Fisher)

This is one of the practice songs in Jody Fisher's "Beginning Jazz Guitar" manual. It is not very jazzy but is a good practice song. It is in the key of D major, and starts with D major 7th, and uses all of the diatonic chords in that key except the number 7 chord which is "C# minor 7th flat 5", or also called "C# half diminished". I recorded myself playing the chords first and then did the mus...

This is my attempt to play the right hand notes of the piano score for this waltz tune, on the guitar. To play the left hand piano notes, I expect I would have to go back to practicing it on the piano. I hope some real pianist will play it and post it. (hint ... hint)
I Can Only Imagine (Bart Millard / MercyMe)

It was back in about 2005 when I first heard this song. I think the singer won the Canadian Idol contest back then with the song. A young friend Julia introduced it to me and then several of us tried to perform it at a college music night. When my Mom passed away in 2006 she was in love with Jesus and couldn't wait to go to be with Him. The next week I modified the song to past tense ("I can on...

We moved to a little farm / acreage in East Central Alberta in April 2022. The area is interesting in many ways, particularly the hard working farming and ranching families, most of whom are living and working on land settled by their ancestors not that long ago ... around 1900. In December 2024 I decided to try to document my feelings with a little song.

When we first moved to our central Alberta prairie home, as I was installing a new mail box at the roadside, a school bus pulled over. It's only occupant was the driver, who introduced himself to me as Bob Stull, and welcomed me to the area. He had just turned 80 years of age, and he told me where he lived and that I could visit him. Since that day, every time I saw a school bus go by, and each...
Great help with jazz guitar .."Thank you Jody Fisher" (J. Adsett)
Переглядів 779 місяців тому
A few years ago, after lots of guitar fun with country, folk, blues, blue grass, mild rock, and classical, I worked my way through 4 books of jazz guitar instruction by Jody Fisher. (I am not getting paid to say this, just honestly sharing my happy experience with these books.) So this short video is a tiny intro about my enjoyment of beginner jazz. Note: I was also delighted to find that Jody ...

After retirement, I worked 6 years as caretaker of a 400 acre ranch in the mountains of SW Alberta. Often working alone, the horses, wild animals, and machinery seemed to become my friends, even the big grizzly that walked in my tracks in the snow twice, and the wolves that ran straight ahead, not looking back over their shoulders like coyotes. One verse will make more sense if you know I was u...

Back in 2005 - 2007, I was part of a band called Dynamite, if you can imagine that, and the few concerts we staged were called Explosions. Julia was our lead singer, Robin was bass player, David electric guitar, James sax and clarinet, and Rick was the drummer. I wrote this song for Rick. And yes, he did "let Him in".
Dust in the Wind (Kerry Livgren (Kansas), 1977)
Переглядів 31810 місяців тому
This song was first released by Kansas in 1977 on their album Point of No Return. I posted my efforts to play and sing it on this channel about a year ago. This time I was finding it challenging to try to finger pick it properly, and sing it at the same time so I recorded the guitar finger picking and my voice on separate channels of my recording system. Then I sat with the camera and played an...

This little fun song I made up for some classes of guitar students in Pincher Creek, Alberta a few years ago. The objective was to learn about chords and picking out some notes for 12 bar blues in the key of G. I just made up the second verse today.
