so another thread had given me the notion to throw out some ideas of easier jazz tunes good for jammin and quick learnin.
st. thomas (easy tune keep it very rythmic to keep it fun)
linus and lucy (the M7to M6 change on mando is SO easier than guitar! ha!)
blue monk (i like to monroe style solo on this one its great)
spain (hardest part was memorizing the solo melody part solo Dmajor all day and sound like a pro)
all blues (ttttttrrrremelo it up!)
if youre a viper/ the flintstones (or whatever other tune has the same chord progression)
well you needent (all dom7 solo in F bebopyblues then chromaticly follow the bridge)
my favorite things
fly me to the moon (in other words see next song)
bessame mucho
summertime
minor swing
swing '42
cantaloupe island
chameleon
most of these songs i used to play in a band wich is where i picked them up. these were the easiest to really jam on. i learned them all without reading a lick of music i play them just fine.
im always lookin for other tunes like these.
i might wanna add... im trying to read... its incredibly slow going.
