Satin Doll Chord Melody
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- For this lesson I've prepared not one...but actually two chord melody arrangements of Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll". I believe that this is one of those tunes that every jazz guitarist should have in his/her repertoire, as it is the perfect vehicle to practice and explore new II-V vocabulary. You do know that this is the most important harmonic cadence in jazz, right? Well if so, did you know that Satin Doll has a II-V in almost every measure?
In the video I teach you a version for solo finger-style guitar featuring a cool walking bass, and then a simpler version to use whenever you play with a bass player. You can even mix and match, and come up with your own version!

Thank you Richie.. I grew up listening to this song ,(and others of Ellington's) , when my parents used to play their Duke Ellington LP's. With your easy to follow lesson I should be able to get this one in the bag, 'eventually', ha-ha !
Thanks Pete...enjoy!

Maybe a beret though...
Forget the lesson, this is one of the nicest solo arrangements/performances of Satin Doll I've ever listened to.
Thanks...much appreciated!
Thanks Richie for the video!
One possible different idea for the into (which I think Ellington played) would be to incorporate a 3rd voice in the intro chords (Duke Ellington plays this 3rd voice as the highest part) but for your arrangement, it could be placed in the middle of the other 2 notes.
With the 3rd part added in the middle of the chord, the intro chords notes would be (from top to bottom): EBG to CGE to DAF (repeated 3 times) followed by EBG to FCA to GDB. Ellington didn't put the passing chord (where you played the A and F# notes) though that addition sounds great (though if you put in an F#, then to keep the 3 parts moving up, I would put in a C# and an A# to make a major triad moving up in parallel). Here is the live Ellington recording where you can hear the 3rd part played on top (better than on the Ellington album):

There are obviously so many ways of re-interpreting and reharmonizing jazz standards, and the Ellington version is just one of the possibilities for the song (even if he wrote it).
After I posted the above comment about adding the third part in the middle of the triads, I realized that it is quite easy to finger the triads with the 3rd part on the top (like Ellington played it). It creates spread triads, with the middle voice moved up an octave from where it was previously. You could play it nicely on the E, B, and D strings. I think it might sound better with that type voicing since the important part of the melody is now on top of the triad rather than "buried" in the middle.
Hey PS could you show us what you mean? Maybe include a clip of yourself playing it? Many thanks...
@@nicolasolton No recording possible with my computer situation, but here are the notes of the intro chords on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th strings respectively:
(BEG, GCE, ADF) repeat 3 times, then follow with BEG, CFA, and DGB (using same 3 strings).
Satan’s dolls …..love it
What kind of progression is this?
dm | G7 | Cmaj = ii V I,ok
but how about:
Am7M | G#m add11+ | C7M add13+ | B add13-

Do you know any songs in which there is this formula progression?
