Hi!
Well, this isn't a chord post but instead I'm posting a recent video of me playing Blue Monk - a jazz blues composed by Thelonious Monk. For the most part, I only worked out the head (the melody section) and the solo section is a combination of chords, single note lines, double stops and some walking bass lines with chords.
The chords I used in this performance are what I consider to be Joe Pass-inspired chord vocabulary. Joe is a great inspiration to me particularly when I started out learning jazz guitar. My favorite album is the Virtuoso: Live! album and his later CD entitled Songs For Ellen. It is a very sparse album with mostly him playing the melody of the songs and not much soloing (if any) but I really relate to the feel of the album.
Anyway, here's my take on Blue Monk!
Cheers,
Az
PS - I'll be starting to post new chords in this coming week..
