My teacher had me doing guide tones on only D and G strings both for comping and then soloing as target tones and it teaches so much. For soloing to once bored with just rhythmically playing with the guide tone or using approach notes you need to know your scales on one and two strings to start adding more and moving around. So what seems simple has you learning scale formulas and fretboard knowledge. For comping same once bored with just guide tones of t he basic changes add guide tones of chord sub's and V7 of the chord. Dominant can play minor guide tones a half-step up for altered sound. This is a very versatile learning tool. I find the smaller the pieces of the guitar you study the more the big picture of the whole fretboard appears. Very cool lesson.
Mikko Hilden if I am not wrong, Adam Neely said in a video that the original key was A minor, but nobody plays it in A minor since the most popular recordings are in G minor (like Miles Davis one, etc.). In the real book it only appears in E minor though, and because of that some people laugh at you when you ask to play it in that key, even if some famous recordings are in that key too (like Joe Pass one).
Fantastic video! That's my homework for today sorted 😎

We have a word for that progression in german aswell.. it's Quintfallsequenz.
Merci beaucoup.
superb lesson! What were you doing for the "quasi classical" chord melody? what were you voicing under the melody?
Tristan Russano just the guide tones 🤓

Tristan Russano yess! Classical liberal! 🎩
Tristan Russano yes I made an album a while back for Addo records. It's called Nova Scotia.
Can you do that on a basic triads?
Sorry do what? Can you specify the question, please? /Mikko 🙂
I've always played the tune in E minor although I know sax players tend to like it in G minor
Kevin Sterchi yeah E minor is very common for this tune. Not sure what the original key is?

""Falling fifths" - descending fifths?
Well in swedish it's "Kvintfald", literally meaning falling fifths. But yes, they are definitely descending.
