Hi Folks,
We have a new jazz lesson from Max today. His take on Ain't Misbehavin', composed by Fats Waller in the early days (1929), but it has gone on to be one of the most covered tune in history. This lesson looks at comping the chords with a moving bass line as well as playing the melody over the chords with a looper or recorded track (or another player if you have a friend handy).
For the players out there that want to learn how to play jazz chords while accompanying yourself, this is the lesson for you. We’re covering this classic jazz standard but doing so in two parts, one where you’ll learn how to play the walking bass line and chords at the same time, and the other with the melody. In the end you could recreate the entire tune using just a guitar!
Ain't Misbehavin' - Jazz Standard
Bocephus! Well, can't say this post isn't inclusive. But I won't expect a lesson on "Are You Ready for Some Football."
Seriously, though, I just realized that this song would have been great for Hank Sr.
Looks like a great lesson. I must shop around for a looper pedal soon.
(by the way, there's no link to the lesson here, FYI).
