Okay, I'm going to start trying to play some of these tunes.
The first one is going to be, I'm going to do them semi-alphabetical, as they come up
in the books.
Foggy Day, pretty standard tune.
The melody, you know, goes from been around for everybody knows.
The two 16-bar phrases, each of those 16-bar A or B or however you want to label each section
is four individual four-bar phrases.
Each one kind of starts over.
[Gm]
The melody is kind of active.
The first bar, [C] boom, boom, [Eb] boom, boom, gets less happy.
You see [D] this thing?
[A] So, if you're [G] comping, you've got to [F] reflect on this.
[Cm]
[Em] [Bb] [Gm] You can get a lot more active as the phrase goes on and relax at the beginning.
I use a lot of half-step or sub, whatever you want to call them.
If I'm going to the two, [Ab] [Gb] there's a sub-five, right?
[Gm]
[Abm] Or [Gm] still, [Abm] [G] you call it [Abm] a chromatic or [Gm] it's a sub-five, [G] anyway you want to look at [Ab] it,
it's used modal, [E] it doesn't [A] matter.
Whatever you hear, it [Abm] works with the melody.
And I [Bb] use a lot of two-five sub-fives.
If I'm going to the G minor, [Ab] I may use it.
[Fm]
[C] [Bb] [Abm] [Gm] [C] [Bb] [Gm]
[Em] I'll use it.
[Bb] That's a sub, right?
[Fm] [Am] So, two, [D] [Fm] alter two, the sub [Gm] of that.
Where I'm going, if it's major, I could still use that same one when I'm going to major.
[Ab] [F]
[G] I do it all the time, anyway.
[Bb] It's [Abm] very bluesy, you can see those [N] blue notes.
Anyway, let me just comp through it and if I play something, I'll try to talk about it.
[G] [F]
[Cm] [Gb] [Gm] [E]
[Dm] [Fm] [F]
[Gm] [Ab] [Cm] [Gm]
[Db] [Dm] [Db]
[Am] [C] [Bb] [Am] [Abm]
[Gm] [E] [Dm] [Dbm] [Abm]
[Gm] [Ab] [D]
[A] [Gm] [E]
[Eb] [Db] [B] [Dm]
[F] [Ab] [Gm] [Abm] [Am]
[Db] [F] [C] [Bb] [C] [Dm]
[E] [Dm] [Db]
[Ebm] [Gbm] [Gm] [Dm] [Ab] [D]
[Dm] [Fm] [F] [Abm] [Bb]
[E] [C] [Cm] [Dm]
[Fm] [Db] [Am] [Gm] [C]
[Ebm] [Dm] [F] [Bb] [Dbm]
[Cm] [B] [Bb]
[C] [Dbm] [C] [Fm]
[F] [Abm] [Gm] [E] [Bb] [Ebm]
[Cm] [Db] [Bb] [F] [G]
[F] [C] [Db] [C]
[Bb] [A] [F] [G] [E]
[Dm] [Em] So anyway, that's pretty straight, nothing, just straight comping through.
It's hard to comp when you've got nothing going, no rhythm, no bass player.
Bass player usually just playing quarter notes on [Gm] this, walking pretty [F] in.
[Eb] [Db]
[D] [E] [C] [Bb] [Ab]
[C] [D] [Gb]
[F] He's just walking quarters, swinging as he goes along.
[G] If you had a soloist, you go with him, you get to listen.
Anyway, that's a pretty straight version.
I'll try to load this and then do another one.
If there's anything you see, just give me a note and I'll try to explain what I did.
Like I said, I used a lot of approaches.
They're all pretty straight, though.
I didn't use anything, all my voicing, because this is a pretty straight tune.
I used all standard chords, no heavy
