"Blue Moon" has recently been brought back to the guitar community, especially through the interpretation of Tommy Emmanuel (very tastefully played in Chet Atkins style). In this course you will learn how Joe Pass approached this well-known jazz standard. It sounds significantly different, more like swing and mainstream jazz. That's why the motto here is: Play like Joe Pass! You will learn the head, the accompaniment with walking bass, a melodic solo over the chords and last but not least a chord melody version with fills and harmonic embellishment and substitution à la Joe Pass. The examples are self-explanatory, learn the music and benefit from it!
