Georgia Backing Track
Rhythm Gtr with Singer
Solo Instrumental
This Jazz/blues standard has stood the test of time
and has been recorded by artists such as Ray
Charles, Rod Stewart, Michael Buble and hundreds of
others.
Strum to coincide with the ‘brush stroke’ of the
drummer.
All the chords should be played as ‘Barre’ chords so it
will take practice to smoothly go from chord to chord.
Its well worth the effort to get good at playing ‘Barre’
chords.
An essential Rhythm guitar skill !
This famous Blues / soul tune has been recorded by
countless performers. This is my solo arrangement that
should be (with practice) within the reach of most students
who have been coming to lessons for a while.
The arrangement uses the ‘key centre’ scale of G major.
Very little ‘chasing chord tones’ in this because typical of
‘jazzy’ tunes the chords are flowing by fairly quickly so
careful use of ‘in key’ and ‘out of key’ notes are used
instead. If you play just a basic G major Pentatonic scale
over the chord progression you’ll soon realise it has a lot
of shortcomings!
This tune is ideal for practising all your standard soloing
‘techniques’ including loud and quiet dynamics. The timing
can be tricky so use the video of me playing this to guide
you.
Enjoy!
