I ‘ve been using autumn leaves as a warm up to my practice session .I finally memorized the lyrics and the melody.This morning I thought it was time to use the metronome with it. The lyrics and melody notes don’t come as easy, but It is starting to sound much better.

@Triple-o  I was wondering... what strumming pattern do you use for " Autumn Leaves" ? ie ; All fours ? (4 downstrokes on the beat) A syncopated rythym?

I’ve been working on this Jazz Standard to help my melody timing. So, I haven’t spent too much on the chords yet.

When practicing the chords I play the first 16 bars with DU/ U/ UD. When I get to the middle of the bridge I play DUD for E-7 A7 D-7 and G7 chords. The rest of the bridge is the same DU U UD.

I am assuming the bridge section starts with the first  F#-7b5 and goes 16 bars.

The YouTube lesson was by  Eric blackmon and it’s a beginner lesson

I learned Autumn Leaves from a series of videos from Justinguitar. 

This is the link to the intro:

Good evening,

I know we've discussed metronomes at length in the past, so I'm trying to keep things organized and avoid too much duplication.  I saw a blog posting today from Griff Hamlin at BGU that really simplified this topic for beginners and others who think we have this under our fingers.    Enjoy!

I should also remind everyone David Hamburger has an interesting discussion of timing on the downbeats as well as Eric Skye (in his 30 Day Challenge).  @matonanjin  It's on my New Year's Resolution plans for 2020 to get this right, once and for all!   😁 

The late/great Pete Huttlinger recalled a childhood story where after practicing with a metronome for a week, he told his instructor that something was wrong with it.  His instructor smiled and said there wasn't anything wrong with the metronome...it was Pete who was wrong (If anyone has the exact quote/recitation, please correct my mutlilation).
