The First official entry in a new series on “Must-Know Jazz Standards”. I’ll likely do one of these per month or so, (with the usual content in-between of course.. blues, country, jazz, Americana etc).
The purpose of these videos will be to show you how to play the melody and chords for some of the essential jazz standards. I’ll show you some of my preferred options regarding keys, chord changes and voicings. At a later date, we will circle back around and look at chord melodies for these pieces as well as improvisation tactics!
As always, full lesson materials will be available for each episode.

I just discovered your channel and I want to learn from every one of your videos!
"A fully pimped out, tritone subbed chord progression that started out life as a 1-6-2-5". Love it!
Alex I really appreciated the split screen on this video. Showing the lead and chords playing at the same time.
I'm a big fan of the channel and your teaching style. Hoping to join your patreon soon.
Thank you. Great lesson!
I think you already did “My Funny Valentine”? I know it’s Bebop, but “So What” anything off of Kind of Blue
Alex, is that Novo sitting in the chair behind? When is the video comin˙? 🙂 Cheers!
Cool
Great idea for a series. Looking forward to it
Just so clear. Like jazz 101. Perfection.
Thanks Alex. One of my all time favourite tunes. I'd never have figured it out from the real book!
great!!!!!! thanx for this video man!
Another Great Video Alex. Thankyou ????????????
Right, you've got me, I'm joining your Patreon. ????
Love it! Do you plan to make an improv lesson for those same standards? Because then it's time to solo 🙂 Thank you
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Alex also my right ear is working without the earwax ❤???? the doctors remove it ❤????
Amazing lesson, love your style. Thanks!
Terrific as usual sir. Best guitar teacher on YT. .
I cannot even tell you how brilliant I thought that lesson was. What a treat, thanks for your time and excellent teaching.
The U.K. BANDIT strikes again!!! ???????????????? I don't care if it never catches on lol. I've never seen a YouTube player even worthy of a nickname until now.
Estupendo. Tim.
I like the pace of ideas also. Quick (for me) but will be perfect with the accompanying notes.
This series is for me, I am locked in.
Sounds amazing…lush, sophisticated and enchanting. great start for this must-know standard series!
Thanks as always. Are you double jointed? That grip at 6:38 is nuts.
Awesome. Looking forward to this series!
Excellent!
Alex, fantastic song choice — one of my favourites. I agree that a "Must Know" series is a great idea. I've been studying the standards (in addition to the obscurities of the '20s-'40s) for decades now, so the tunes are very familiar, but I love getting your take on these numbers. The harmonic alterations you present always sound fresh but logical — just beautiful ideas every time. Looking forward to seeing how "Must Know" unrolls, in addition to all else you share with us, from diverse styles.
What a great idea for a series! There are so many songs to know and all the different subsets of jazz have their own “must knows”…it’s daunting!
Thanks for these (in advance) Alex.
great lesson, thanks! is that backing track (bass & drums) available anywhere?
Amazing stuff Alex, thank you so much for this❤️
Brilliant!
Chord talk and analysis is always appreciated. Chords are the foundation. The cake. Everything else icing.
