Autumn Leaves

[@willowravenmusic]

holy moly the opening 5 seconds were absolutely magic... beautiful sounds

[@RayGarnerGSU]

thanks very much

[@giovannipeirone3915]

My favorite version and the best Telecaster tone of anything I've ever heard!

[@RayGarnerGSU]

thank you very much :)

[@Gtr4Peace]

From the Ted Greene/Tim Lerch school, but with your own touch. Nice!

[@RayGarnerGSU]

thanks :)

[@DonMitchell50]

One of the most interesting reharmonizations of this standard I've ever heard. Beautiful use of inner moving voices and bass line. Bravo. Outstanding.

[@RayGarnerGSU]

thank you very much

[@peternemeth1777]

Here is an autumn leaves version that you probably never heard and it's also my favourite one. Listen to it.

[@arsalanpareyal9996]

Just Brilliant! this is just too beautiful probably my fav after Joe Pass's version! Can you share some ideas how can I develop such chord vocabulary? I can play standard jazz voicings but yours are too good! any leads would be really helpful! Thank you!!!

[@RayGarnerGSU]

thank you very much, im glad you like it. the way i tend to go about finding chords is to build them from scales, ie try to find how many different ways there are to play 5 different notes from each scale shape.

[@starrynightguitars]

Beautiful playing! I love your contrary motion internal lines. Very nice.

[@RayGarnerGSU]

cheers Rich

[@qweone123]

[@lincolnfish4021]

@@RayGarnerGSU no problem

[@JustAGuitarPlayer]

Well done! I took lessons with both Ted Greene and Lenny Breau in the early 1980’s and as many here have already commented, your playing is reminiscent of Ted’s especially. Keep up the great playing, you’ve got a bright future ahead.

[@RayGarnerGSU]

@@RayGarnerGSU Thank you! This helps very much

[@RayGarnerGSU]

youre welcome :)

[@davemack6384]

nice early morning discovery. If you haven't, try listening to some work from Ed Bickert. You might dig his work. Pure Desmond is a good start.

[@RayGarnerGSU]

cheers, Ive heard some Ed Bickert but not that particular album, ill check it out

[@krozover6866]

this is super cool! how do you do this harmonics? With both thumb and ring finger or just thumb?

[@RayGarnerGSU]

cheers, i pick the harmonic notes with the thumb and the regular notes with the ring finger

[@miraccch]

u good mate

[@sebastianb.2385]

Sounds amazing, great playing! What amp and guitar are you using?

[@RayGarnerGSU]

thank you, stock fender american professional tele and stock princeton reverb reissue

[@ajluvzlondon4214]

[@gavinwingard8052]

at like 5-6 seconds in... was that a strum with harmonics? ive never seen that before

[@oskydiver6588]

Ikr what the hell how

[@RayGarnerGSU]

yeah it kind of is, im using the top of thumbnail to strum upwards and first finger to mute for the harmonics, it works well on chords where the notes are all on the same fret. i saw it first at 5:15 in this ua-cam.com/video/sz10Q3AUiw4/v-deo.htmlsi=pbRXGN9skyYMqQBl&t=315

HOW

[@RayGarnerGSU]

if youre interested ive written out the chords for this one here: dreamless.digital/docs/sheets/autumn_leaves.pdf

[@Ephemeral-Bean]

Do you think you could get the guy breathing really heavily through their nose to do it in time with the music? I think im an oddball because I found it proper distracting from the song

[@josiahgottschalk2312]

That's just the sound of autumn leaves in the wind
