Eight lessons on 2 DVDs to help you master the most popular jazz waltz written by jazz guitarist Toots Thielemans.  The chord melody arrangement is harmonized with plenty of changes, somewhat tricky to play but worth the effort. Two arpeggios studies, one on the lower section of the neck and one on the upper will help develop your soloing.   On the first solo, Rich uses target notes to outline the changes and the second begins with a climbing lick and has some hooky ideas.  The first comping arrangement uses the Dirty Dozen Jazz Chords with the first eight bars using "Bird Blues " changes.  The second is more interesting  using the upper 4 strings.  Altered tones and some different shapes give it a pretty sound.  The scale study lesson will help you understand what scales that can be used for soloing over the chord changes.  Taking a scale approach will help simplify soloing ideas while still outlining the chords. The etude study will also help you memorize the chords and get your finger memory ready for soloing.

Approximately 3 hours of  video lesson with fretboard close ups rehearsed slowly by measure then rehearsed by section with lots of explanations.  Link for download, printable PDF in tab, chord girds and standard notation.  Also includes link to download two separate Mp3 practice tracks one track with keyboard, bass and drums at a slow tempo with a second track at medium tempo with guitar bass and drums.
