Arranging jazz standards.

[kreal]

Hey gentlemen!

I'm here with a question for you again. Hope I'll not annoy everyone))

I wanted to ask you about arranging songs. I'm currently watching Emil's, Joe Pass, Tommy emmanuels videos and I'm trying to copy as much as I can. But to play it - is one side and to understand it is very important as well.

Could you guys recommend any nice video lessons, or a book that can explain it in a good way. ?

Thank you very much!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Kirill.

Hi Kirill,
what kind of arranging do you mean?
Rhythm playing?
Do you have theory background?

I learned Emils walking bass slap chord thing the last weeks.
You can find it here:
Guitar Lesson from Emil Ernebro - Walking Bass Lines Technique – 26:04
— Emil Ernebro

He explains a good way to find walking bass lines combining with chordrhythm. So you can use it on every tune you want.

I tried it on "Swing 42" of Django and "All of me".
So much fun.

Cheers, Florian
