I wish to understand jazz one day and play this well

[@Brokout]

Ah me too, I have only just started and this seems a million miles away, but I am excited to learn!

[@weilmusic]

Me too 🙏

[@ageema]

You don't have to necessarily be able to play it to feel it you know. Just saying. (:

[@bobbyschmidt1305]

I never know what to say each time I hear your interpretation of these great standards, the way you use those dissonant harmonies with the chord melodies is unreal, I have been playing since 67 and there are some great jazz guitar players out there but you sir at playing at a level that very few players ever enjoy, your tone is also amazing,extermely tasteful,

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks for the kind words Bobby. Much appreciated!

[@candombana]

its so singular, so personal. Fantastic version.

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you!

[@doctorwu222]

Hauntingly beautiful rendition. Monk is smiling!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you!

[@charlesalan62]

Chris those dissonant chords are so dark and beautiful, it really remarkable what you’ve done here. It’s very humbling, Monk would have loved it.

First time hearing this - soo good! I'm a drummer who daydreams of playing guitar but I remember the great jams we had together at University of Miami in the Contemporary Ensemble - still some of my favorite recordings. Cheers Chris! Maybe we'll jam again one day!

Damn! Now I've got to go and learn yet another of your arrangements. :-) (Possibly the most beautiful ballad ever. I love Sarah Vaughan's interpretation.)

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you Josie!

[@AlexBeyond100]

That EbmMaj9 at the end is so dramatic and sad :(
Indeed it makes me think of myself sitting on a rooftop alone in the big city at midnight thinking about the jazz life.
Wonderful performance Chris!

@@MacMic333 www.chriswhitemanmusic.com/chord-melody-arrangements-1

[@sdipper7]

Monk?

[@MacMic333]

sdipper7 I have the Monk book, but it is the translation to guitar as Chris created that I need to study.I d/loaded Chris’s transcript, very good.

Thank you

[@honeyman-guitar]

Superb! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you Mark

[@AnthonySower]

Fantastic stuff! I think that is your best yet, IMHO. Is that an augmented chord at the end? (Always makes me think of the James Bond theme 😀)

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks Tony.the last chord is a min9 with a maj7. Eb Gb D F. R,b3,M7,9. Gb to D is an augmented 5th and gives it the augmented sound

[@MrTennis88]

Nice, I bought the arrangement. Saves me the hours of doping it out from slow motion! I am sure I will buy a lot of your arrangements, Do you have anything for I can't get started, or These foolish things or Cry me a river? I learned the beautiful Barney Kessle arrangement for the last. Kessle and and Kenny Burrell are at the top of my Jazz guitarist list (Burrell was Hendrix's favorite guitarist). Wes montgomery, of course Django, so many other too. Stanley Jordan, I once had a few lessons from him and he played my wedding when he was a student with his trio for $150. That was long ago.

[@samme79]

Wow Stanley Jordan playing for your wedding that's pretty cool. If you want to check some other jazz tabs you can check out Francois Leduc. He has them for free.

[@JGlassy]

Really tasteful arrangement and rich understated tone. *sigh* !

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you Joe!

[@Guyhart]

I love it! A great arrangement of my favourite tune. Superb tone too. I used to have an old 125 but it never sounded as good as that. What amp are you using?

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks Guy. I am using a little solid state head, Quilter 101 mini reverb through a 12 inch eminence speaker (cannabis rex)

[@jazzed2b]

Bravo! Your content/playing is amazing...surprised you don' have millions of follows, but then again only rock stars have have millions of followers because they only play 3 chords and jazz guitarist only have 3 followers because they play millions of chords!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Ha! Thank you!

[@ekoc92]

That tone!!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you!

[@bingvillebugle738]

Brilliant. Is this the same arrangement you have on your site?

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Yes, it is the same one.
