Re: Stick Tune - Autumn Leaves
It was interesting, I dug out my railboard and tried to play through this tune. It was doable, but very, very weird. I am so accustomed to my 12 string that it was downright alien to play!
I tried matched reciprocal tuning, but you know mirrored 4ths keeps things on the bass side a lot closer together as far as chords go, and it's amazing how much I use the 6th string on both sides if only for reference. I definitely feel a connection to my 12 str...
Anyways, I know that everybody and their dog plays this song but it's a great tune to help get your playing together. I use jazz standards not just for reading practice, and repertoire, but as a framework to compose solos and work on my improvisation.
Awright, back to practice.
