Really cool tutorial......thanks HP!

Love the simplicity of this.........cheers HP!

I will start to upload random performance video's which I record mostly direct after I recorded a tutorial and I started to upload them on my TikTok account which created way more traffic then when I upload it here on my main YT channel. Don't ask me what the reason is for that because I don't know. Anyway - since not everybody has TikTok i will upload the same content on my 2nd YouTube channel and also post them here on my website in the Guitar department. You can support my efforts to get more traffic on those videos by subscribing to that channel as well... and BTW help me to reach out 1 K subscribers there. I would be really grateful. The reason I can not upload those video's which I upload to TikTok to my main channel is because I have a few legal restrictions and I am not allowed to do that. This also does not make it possible to have channel memberships on my main channel and other cool features. That' an other reason I start this secondary project. https://www.youtube.com/@HanspeterKruesi

I didn't know Jim Hall was the guitar player of Ella Fitzgerald great to know. I personally love that one version of Ella so much on this tune. The best ever...

This is a great tune where the theme shows how bebop works.

Great tutorial of one of the best swing songs ever............I have a version of this by Ella and her band, live from Berlin, in February 1960..............the great Jim Hall was the guitarist in the band on this version.............this is the version where Ella forgets the words and scats instead. Jim and Ella worked together for about a year after which he said "I used to tune up to her voice". Great stuff HP!

Here I show you a blues guitar arrangement of the popular gospel song " Amazing Grace ". It's not hard to play but it sounds bluesy and gives you the opportunity to learn a lot in the blues guitar genre.
