Voting on new songs coming up

[Jose Luis Hinojosa]

Since mambo_machine’s last post 12 days ago, I haven’t found the thread for posting our cover/backing track requests. So, here are 2 covers I’d love to see:
1) Despacito
2) Girl from Ipanema

Thanks Johnny!

How about a Mustang Sally with a rocking solo In Johnny style

[jake]

Honestly would be delighted with just a solo!!!! The ones I’m working with just don’t cut it.

[paddy jordan]

i would second that one Jake

[Jose Luis Hinojosa]

I know I already suggested two new songs in this thread, but I wanna say that pretty much anything by ole Blue Eyes (Frank Sinatra) would be great for me. I have “Fly Me to the Moon” (from this site) and it’s awesome!
I was thinking “As Time Goes By” from the movie Casablanca (also done by Frank) and perhaps “Strangers in the Night.”
Johnny, please give us your thoughts.
Thanks!
José Luis

yes Luis some good suggestions there.
there may be one or 2 there that I will do in the future

[Vincent Gaglio]

I would love to learn Hey Jude that would be in the Style of Warren Hill, Not quite up in the Altissimo LOL. Would love to get there

[john]

yes good one Vinny, I’ve had that on my list for a while now.
the style thing is up to the player…if you listen to the version you mentioned it’s full of grace notes and note bends….the kind of thing we’re covering in the Premium Membership right now!

[Alejandro Lazaga]

Valerie by Amy Winehouse, or Tenderly or Over the Rainbow by Ben Webster… 😉 with the solos…

[Alejandro Lazaga]

Johnny, I want to Thank you for your embellishment series, That’s whats helping me the most!!!!, also that’s what I wanted to learn, to play melodies instead of jazz soloing, which I find next to impossible to follow the cord changes….
could you show us the correct way vs the exaggerated way? ( in your embellishment series) since you are my only teacher I don’t have any other reference…
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
A.
