This series is dedicated to every guitar player (especially self-taught musicians) who would like to get close to the charming world of jazz. Basically, playing jazz means listening to the masters and learning to play standards. So, I think it could be fine to start learning some themes through the tabs I'm sharing with you.
This time we play the melody of "On the sunny side of the street", a 1930 song composed by Jimmy McHugh with lyrics by Dorothy Fields (legends say that Fats Waller composed the piece, but he sold the rights to the song).
I played the theme and try to sing it, then l improvise a solo on the two following choruses.
Beware: no perfectionism or accademic approach here, just a bunch of notes, coming both from scales and chord tones, and a lot of fun (sorry for background children noise!).
Some tips for the solo:
beginners could simply pay attention to the shift of tonality, from C major (A parts) to F major (B part);
intermediate players shoud underline the harmonic structure of the song, playing the chord tones (arpeggios), and use altered scales (= melodic minor built a half tone over the root) over dominant and secondary dominant chords, to create tension before happily landing on the smooth and consonant notes of the stable chords;
more advanced players are welcomed to suggest further tips for my solos in the comments below!
Deeper and specific exercises on arpeggios (= chord tones playing), scales and comping will follow on further videos (I hope!).
IMPORTANT: tabs are not intended to substitute the notation; serious jazz students must learn to read music sheet.
Last tip: try to sing the notes you're playing during the solo, it will emprove your phrasing.
