This is super helpful and very well presented! Thank you!! I've always been a fan of Grant Green's 12-bar blues "Gooden's Corner" - first one of his heads that I learned.

which model your playing there?

[@jzgtr100]

Hey Chase, thanks for this great video. Lots of very useable information. Among favorite jazz blues solos on guitar are Sundown and The Thumb by Wes Montgomery, Now’s The Time by Pat Martino on Sonny Stitt’s recording and of course, George Benson on Billies Bounce. ALSO, important in my development, Stanley Turrentine on Lee Morgan’s Speedball. Stanley was always amazing, but also, Cornell Dupree’s comping on this cut. I was new to jazz. I was 20 in 1975 and heard this. I thought blues had 3 chords until I heard this, LOL!

Thanks for watching! 🙏

SUNDOWN by Wes Montgomery also has great nuggets of musical genius.

Nice! Green's Greenery was one of the first ones I learned ua-cam.com/video/rNkdUCzW1ak/v-deo.html. Then Parker's Mood, Bloomdido and more recently a few choruses of Benson's Billie's Bounce (thanks to another video on your channel).

Those are all great ones! 🙌

Blues for Herb, emily remler

[@ChaseMaddox]

Good one!

[@JeatBunkie]

Great suggestion! When I think, see, or hear anything Grant Green I instantly have to go listen to his version of ‘Round About Midnight. Sensational.

[@ChaseMaddox]

Also phenomenal 👌

Hi Chase, Great video. On the first example transcription, you play a b7 (Ab) but in your written transcription you write an (A) the major 7th. Grant Green really is the best for getting into Jazz Blues. Grant's version of "Cool Blues" was the first one I learned.

[@ChaseMaddox]

Thanks! Yes that’s a typo, it showed up correctly on the tab but not on the staff for some reason.

[@enricosenno7767]

Really great vid Chase! Blues for skeeter off Burrels First record Is really worth checking out. Would love to see a video. Cheers

[@ChaseMaddox]
