แค่ Moondance หรือ Fever ก็จะแย่อยู่แล้วละครับ
เพราะ"เล่น" ก็ไม่ค่อยจะทัน "ร้อง" อยู่แล้ว
แถมพลิกจังหวะ เปลี่ยนคอร์ด เปลี่ยนคีย์ ถี่เลือเกิน 55555

Hi Sarun,
I think I sensed some desperations there in your voice

When you are "inside looking out", it's almost always harder than it really is.

One remedy is to switch yourself to "outside looking in", and you can see it much clearer.

And you are absolutely right about "For our level, this is it this year",
Yes, that's a very good "outside looking in". (W@@dro's been messing around with this stuffs since I knew him so long ago and it took him a loooong time to knew this stuffs inside out. 5555)

To my experiences (which is not much), Those guitar chords in Jazz they mainly consisted of the notes that the whole band (more or less) will play together not just the guitar. For example say G# dim which consisted of G#,D, B, and F notes when Pat Matheny plays just 1 note of G# note his bandmates bassist may play D note while his pianist may play B note and his sax player may play F note.

Now the Jazz guitarist may not obligated to play all of the chord notes as I mentioned, even if he does it more likely to strum the chords, so it's actually not that extremely hard to execute along with his bandmate.

But it's another story if you happen to be someone like Earl Klugh who do those jazz chords on his nylon string all alone by himself plus doing the melody note solo within those chords too!


So be at ease guys, don't take it too hard!
Just enjoy the music and try it to see if you really like it (or not)
Just do whatever float your boat, if it's too heavy it will sink your boat........
