OLD STANDARDS & CLASSIC JAM TUNES

OLD STANDARDS & CLASSIC JAM TUNES:

A Compendium of Chord Progressions

Lyrics?--LYRICS?!--If I'd'a wanted _lyrics_, I'd'a translated the Mahabarata into an English musical!... I mean, face it--look at the words of the very

titles below of songs that you'd never wanna play: would you share such truck with yr fellow band members?! Or the lyrics with yr girlfriend?....

(Okay, so maybe I'm bitter: my bands never had much luck with vocalists!...)

=-= INTRO =-=

* After the song's title, the composer(s) (of the music) & the year of composition/copyright are given (when known: many dates refer to the first _recording_ of the tune; also, "apb" means "as played by," an indication of the arrangement/version the chords are based upon), as are the key(s), time signature, recommended tempo, & form. (For more complex songs, refer to the form for the order in which to play the song's various sections. For most, I have indicated the basic form, for "jam" purposes; for others--mostly "rock" tunes I've "covered" in bands--extensive info regarding the repetition of verses, choruses, etc. is given.)

* Unless otherwise followed by slash marks in parentheses(/), each chord name represents one measure (i.e., 4 beats in 4/4 time, 3 beats in 3/4 time, etc.); eighth-note values are indicated with a single quot. following the slash, so: /'. (Important: the "/"'s indicate only the _duration_ of a chord, not a strum pattern!) Finally, "hold" means to play the chord once for the whole measure.

* Song sections are designated either by the traditional "A" & "B" (& "C"), or by "V" (verse), "Ch" (chorus), "Br" (break) and "LT" (lead tacit); plus, "I" = intro. In many cases, Intros & Codas are not given, even if customary for the song. For Intros, try the last 2, 4, or 8 measures of the last section to begin the tune; for Codas, you can simply end the last "turnaround" with a tonic chord (e.g., G, GM7, GM6, GM6/9, etc., in the key of G)....

* Chord symbols in parentheses are OPTIONAL chord extensions & alterations --e.g., C(M6) = add the M6 tone if yu' want! The only exception is the minor-major seventh chord, whose very symbol requires parenthesis: e.g., Cm(M7). (Who'd WANT to add that tone optionally, anyway!?) . . . Oh, "slash"-chord names indicate bass tones: e.g., C/E = a C chord with an e note in the bass. . . .

* Final Caveat: some of these songs aren't in the "original" key (especially old standards in Bb, Eb, etc.); these have been transposed either to the key that my old jazz duet did 'em in and/or to a "decent" guitar key (I'm fond of A major myself!). Moreover, some chords are my own "interpretations," usually from my own solo-guitar arrangements--but at least they fit the melody, unlike lots of "cheat-book" chord charts yu' see.... But feel all the more free, then, to omit (or alter to your own liking) the chord extensions or alterations given: e.g., play a plain C for a given CM7, a G7 for a G7#9, an Em for an Em7 or Em9--or, conversely, ADD a 9th or #9th tone to a G7 (->G9, G7#9), etc. For the old jazz/tin-pan-alley tunes, especially, I rather went over board with the extensions, so feel free--again--to just play "CM7" (or even "C") for "CM7(//) CM6/9b5(/) CM6/E(/)"!

*Tempos--(subjective, to be sure)-- Adagio: "quite slow" Andante: "pretty slow" Moderato: "moderately" Allegro: "pretty quick" (--my "default," when in doubt!...) Presto: "very quick"

*Revision Note (7/02): I originally intended this "compendium" to consist mostly of "tin-pan-alley"/jazz-style "standards," but ended up adding lots o' rock (and country, and Xmas, and movie--even Classical) "classics" (with many idiosyncratic and/or inane choices, to be sure!) along the way--revelatory, at last, of all the different bands/musical interests I've been involved with. . . . . . .
