I have always liked the standard and the first time I heard it was on an accordion. That was many years ago, so thanks for sharing this one Andy.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Thanks Stuart. Yes, it works really well on the accordion.

[@steve60.]

Great lesson, but, I have to comment on that absolutely beautiful guitar that makes me drool. Every single part of it is gorgeous. Lucky you ! Again this is a great lesson on Caravan.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

I sadly sold that guitar! I do have a 335 now. I found the Bigsby a bit frustrating on that 355. It was a stunning example looks wise, but I had real issues with tuning stability. In the end it bugged me too much.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

What do you think of this standard? I think it’s a really good one to know and fun to solo over 😎

[@salvadorgarcia8661]

Excelente lección. Muchas gracias maestro.

[@aeter00]

Glad you liked it Matthew. Thanks for watching.

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Awesome jazz chords

[@underwoodvoice9077]

The melody is the only way I can get through "So What". Counting goes right out the window the second I lose track of the melody.

[@Bowwylad]

ah man this is wonderful stuff, thank you kindly for unraveling these mysteries :)

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

My pleasure!

[@flyingfish5604]

This is such a great lesson: could you possibly do a lesson on the chord progression for 'Ain't Misbehaving' many thanks

[@cv6941]

Thanks Andy

[@Music_Lad]

I've sent this to my friend so he and I (a drummer) can play this together

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Sweet! Hope it goes well ✅

[@Music_Lad]

@@jazzguitarwithandy thank you, so far I am having trouble finding a drum chart for caravan that matches what I've heard when listening to it but we'll see

[@maxog5843]

Hi Andy. Do you have a video to learn rythms that you show on this video ? (The latin feel and the swing feel). Thx for your work :)

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Hey Max, In my video on the chords to 'Night in Tunisia' ua-cam.com/video/VZ1nJwE_XHk/v-deo.html I cover how to play the latin feel rhythm. I've not made one yet on standard swing rhythm - I think I should do though! Thanks for the comment.

[@bosatsu76]

You probably know this but Chicago does a rockin version of this on their Night and Day album... And yours is the closest I've found to to that sound... You just gave me the foundation...

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

I did not know that, I will have to heck that out!

[@bosatsu76]

@@jazzguitarwithandy You won't regret it... It is awesome... That entire album is covers of swing standards.

[@adamlasher]

Thanks for the info. Very useful But why every single detail except the melody? Lol

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

I'd love to cover that, but fear it wouldn't be allowed!

[@roxammon5858]

Hi Andy - do you use jazz strings, please? Your Gibson sounds jazzier than other 335 style semi hollow bodied guitars i have heard.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

I use Thomastik bebop gauge 12 on my 335 these days. I think in this video I had flat wounds on.

[@ted149]

Listening to Duke Ellington, the last chords in section B appear to be Ab7 to G7 rather than Ab6 to C7. The G7 leads back into the C7 of part A better…am I wrong here, any thoughts?

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Not wrong, just another way to play it. That part of the song differs on a lot of recordings. Another common one is to go Ab and then Db7 to C7.

[@ted149]

@@jazzguitarwithandy cool, thanks Andy.

[@Louis-we6lh]

i like you--- but ---stop talking --way too much-- and thank you for your hard work.

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

It's a always a difficult thing to balance talking vs playing given it can be such a spread of ability that watches! Thanks for watching and commenting.
