When I was young (back in the 1960s) our neighbor had been a big band guitarist in the 1930s-40s and this was his favorite song. since I also played guitar, he'd show me things here and there, and as I progressed he taught me how to play this song. I was honored to be able to play a chord melody of it at his funeral in 1997. While I played it in F, I love your arrangement in C, Sandra! It sounds better and is easier to play! I haven't played it in years and plan on sitting down with your arrangement over the next couple of days! Thank you for developing this and sharing it!!!!
You are the best teacher in the world and one hell of a player I play guit for 70 yrs and your composition is awesome I play a lot of chord melody can t compare to you Love your ways GOD bless
Thank you so much Sandra! You are investing a lot of time and effort to prepare these excellent tutorials. You have the heart of a teacher and remarkable patience to clarify even the smallest details. I greatly enjoy the way your melody arrangements flow and your theory explanations. The harmonics are so beautiful and so is your smile. I hope and pray that your throat irritation goes away for good, it sounds like allergies.
Thank you Luis. I habe more than a dozen of allergies. They used to be only sorting the main season. Now they lst the whole year long. When Citibank is over I will have to go to a doctor. This is really exhausting. Thank you for your thoughts! ❤️
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I suffer from allergies too. I will be praying for you and hopefully you’ll feel better very soon. This is the time of the year when everything is blossoming and because of that there are too many allergens in the environment. Hang in there Sandra, go to the doctor and things will get better. Thanks again for your willingness to share your musical wealth of knowledge.
🎵Fantastic! Download was super easy for the Tabs! Great deal, for all the valuable time Sandra invested in this project! So very beautiful! You have been wishing for this song to emerge under your fingers, so download the tab and start working on it! Thank You Sandra!🌹🎶
Thankyou Sandra -enjoy your videos/tutorials. Really enjoy songs done in the chord melody way of playing. The songs to me sound more complete, and better on the ear. Thanks.
Thanks Eddie! Such an old song, already in public domain, and still I got a copyright claim. That system sucks. But I'm glad you like it and enjoy the music and learning process.
Thanks Great tune; great arrangement; great teaching and lesson. Took awhile to get it down but can play from memory and getting alot of pleasure. thx S
Enjoy your playing very much, and your videos are most entertaining to say nothing of instructional. You have a fine way of teaching. Glad I found your channel. Stay well.
Can’t thank you enough for your lessons! If I wasn’t on a fixed income I’d support your website. Would you consider “Popsicle Toes” as a lesson? Appreciate all you do!
Cheers Sandra, I’ve always wanted to play this one, brilliant teaching as usual I have phrase one pretty good playing wise, I just need to get it in the muscle memory, then I can bring it out more. Love your videos, I’m a regular watcher/pupil.
Hey, flash you dusted this one. Just take your time. If you learn only 1 or 2 bars each time you practice, you'll memorize it better and won't get a synapse collapse 😊. You'll get there eventually.
Hermosa versión Sandra. Me encanta Mar King Cole, el mejor cantante. La versión de Wiilie Nelson es maravillosa también. Saludos desde Mar del Plata!👍🏻
Wow👍😄... This is a long one ...3 minutes of a beautiful standard, beautifully played and presented. As always, I love the explanations and informational nuggets along the way! “Sub of the 5 of the 5...” 👏😄. I will come back and learn this version when I get some other things completed! Sorry you’re having ring finger issues (I’ve got it in my right hand)🙁. Nice lesson - sounding good, Sandra!
Thanks, Barry! Sorry to hear you still have issues with your fingers too 😢. I hope I never get athritis. My Dad has it and it sucks. All the best for you!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman yes, I have a couple issues going on that make music challenging. A “hand arthritis” diagnosis is one. I’ve cut way back on playing due to frustration and pain. Crap, even the Moto rides so far are aggravating, with the “curled hand” position. I digress. I wish you well, and wonderful lesson, Sandra! You never fail to make for a cheerful Thursday - thanks🙏😄.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Interesting, yes as you know it's super popular here and another one of your arrangements I hope to learn sometime soon. Stay safe over there, sending viral hugs and good vibes your way! 😄
Hi Andrew, glad you dig it! You can make this a long term goal. A bar a day and you'll get there eventually. that way you also memorize the long song form easier.
Wasn't that song featured in the movie, "Sleepless in Seattle?" I don't know how I'm going to learn to play a lot of songs like that. You might say that I'm cursed with shorter fingers than normal, plus with extra short pinky fingers that are bent inwards at the top knuckle. I just don't have the reach. Because of that I can only play simple chords😞. Love your channel and listening/watching you play. I can only dream of playing like you do. Much mahalo!
I have super short fingers too. It's usually the angle of the thumb and wrist, that's causing pain or limitations in spreading the fingers. Bit your inwards bent pinky could be a problem, that can't be overcome. I don't know.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank you for replying. The other issue I have that I forgot to mention is that I have tendinitis at the base of my left thumb, and at times it gets rather painful. I’m looking at getting cold laser therapy. There’s a lot of good things said about it. I love your channel and your playing. All the very best. Take care.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman very thoughtful of you. Actually, it's not an operation under the knife, so to speak. Its a device that emits cold laser beams that the doctor apples to the area. I've heard good results from the treatment. I'm really hoping that it works so I can play pain fee. Thank you again for your concern. I will keep you posted. The treatments will be over a period of time. How many sessions, I don't know yet. Take good care, and keep playing your beautiful style.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank a lot ,i dont know,very chords and long ,but versión good , i,m studing two days and i ready for play this son,your xplains are goods,thank you

Just make sure you know the basic jazz chords! Way easier to understand and memorize the arrangements.
A beautiful interpretation of a 1927 jazz standard song by Sandra. Many thanks for your efforts in teaching us.

Very nice arrangement, I love the melodic flow, very tasty! 🎸 Yep, you're magical like that, good on you!! 👍😄
Thanks, Robert. That one was tricky, bc it's not very popular in Europe. I see it's very popular in the States, though.

Minha linda Sandra, adoro seus chord melody. Muito obrigado.
Muito obrigada, Encio!
Woww...nice song
Yes, a really beautiful song.
Hey girl, that's special, didn't like it LOVED it lol. too advanced for me but smiling ear to ear Thank you, Andrew
Hi Andrew, glad you dig it! You can make this a long term goal. A bar a day and you'll get there eventually. that way you also memorize the long song form easier.
Thanks Sandra have bought a few PDF lessons as well, as you suggest a little a day, regards Andrew
Wasn't that song featured in the movie, "Sleepless in Seattle?" I don't know how I'm going to learn to play a lot of songs like that.

Wow, thann you! But most of it is hard work. They say 10% talent, 90% hard work. And I couldn't agree more.
I Love You
🤭beautiful!! 👏🏽
I think Chet, himself, would like that rendition.
What a compliment! Thanks so much!
One cuestión?what is this level?low,médium or higt?sorry i don,t speack inglés?
Intermediate (medium) for jazz. If you don't or the jszz chords it's probably hard for you.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank a lot ,i dont know,very chords and long ,but versión good , i,m studing two days and i ready for play this son,your xplains are goods,thank you
