Can I use an old but interesting Jazz Standard to turn it into a modern sounding Fusion and Progressive Rock sounding song? The answer is in my new guitar lesson in which I’ll show you how you could do this by using the harmonic framework, but modernize the chords and rhythm.
Here you see the original version.
In the full video , I’ll show you some improvisation techniques to create a melody over the modernized Jazz Standard.
And although most of the Jazz Standard are great as they are, I thought it would be interesting to create a Fusion-like cover of such an old song.
