Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Tomo,
This is an "Autumn Leaves" in Gm I found. Haven't found the regal real book yet. Most of the other Jazz Standard tunes you teach here match up with my 6th Edition of the Real Book.

Autumn Leaves in Gm lead sheet:

Of course, your lesson is here:

Thanks again for teaching us!

Hi Tomo and friends!

Are these the only 2-5-1 sequences in Autumn Leaves?

Cm F7 Bb

Am D7 Gm

EbMAJ7 seams to connect them.
I think the EbMAJ7 confuses me a little when trying to analyze the song progression.
EbMAJ7 is just the 4 chord of the key of Bb MAJOR or the 6 chord of G minor depending on how you look at it...I think.

All the HUGE maple Autumn Leaves at my house our being turned into good smelly compost to help the garden thrive next year.

Hello!
Practicing these Autumn Leaves triads on string set 1,2 and 3 today.

Cm7-F7-Bb-Eb-Adim-D7-Gm-GMAJ (I forgot to play GMAJ for last measure.)

The faster part at the end was too much for me still. Franz T. Metronome was pushing me. I'll be going back to move forward. Slowing down.

Edited: I just re-discovered Tomo shows these Autumn Leaves triads in this lesson at about 8:00 minutes.
THEORY 11 Minor Triads

Also, Hotel California progression gets wild!

Kurt

What guitar is that? Vintage guitar?
Frantz Metronome sounds so good!

Good job Kurt!
I love those triads on 123 set strings.

For root position, I use 341 fingering.
Very inspiring!

Thank you.
Tomo

Thanks, Tomo!
Not vintage, It is from the year 2020. A real doozy for a year!
I'm playing my 75th anniversary Fender Vintera Telecaster Deluxe "Roadworn". Olympic White. Based on a 1972 Telecaster Deluxe. Alder body. "C" shape roasted neck. 9.5" radius.
There weren't a lot of the 75th Anniversary ones. I like having a tele shape with humbuckers.
Made in Mexico.
"Roadworn" means "Kind of banged around looking". Nice when you do bang it, to not care as much :-)

I call him "El Blanco!"

Buenas tardes Senor Tomo!
