In this pack I teach 13 songs. Some are easy to intermediate and others darn difficult. But sometimes tackeling a difficult song will make you progress considerably, and this will not happen if you stay on the easy stuff. You can watch the lessons freely (links are below) so you can judge for yourself if they are within your reach or not.
1. Walking My Baby Back Home
I learned much of this arrangement from a version by Pop Wagner. Not difficult to play and easy to sing as the vocals follow the melody notes. A great jazz standard played without all the difficult jazz chords.

2. Nuages
Django Reinhardt's theme song. In gypsy jazz circles this version is considered for 'beginners'. I play it slow and easy.

3. As Time Goes By
Based on an instrumental version by Guy Van Duser. I play it slower and with more feeling. Lotsa arpeggio's. The instrumental version and the version with vocals are identical.

Based on the singing of Julie London and an arrangement made by the Dutch wizzard Ton van Bergeijk. Certainly the most difficult song on this page.

9. Singing The Blues
Key of C
A
Matt Munisteri arrangement in the style of Eddie Lang (this is not the
accompaniment Eddie Lang played on the Bix Beiderbecke recording of
Singing the Blues).
Every
note has been tabbed out. Lyrics are written under the tab and I
demonstrate them slowly so you'll know when and where to sing.
Performance/Lesson video
10. Without My Gal
Key of A
The
original song is called "Without That Man", sung by Ruth Etting and
accompanied by the guitar of Eddie Lang. I changed the lyrics for
obvious reasons. The accompaniment is very close to what Eddie Lang
plays.
As always, lyrics are provided, written under the tab and taught.

11. Old Rockin' Chair
Key of C
This not too difficult version is inspired by the playing of Brad Littwin and the singing of Mildred Bailey.
Again, lyrics are provided, written under the tab and taught

12. Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans
Key of C
I learned this instrumental arrangement from the french guitarist Alain Giroux. A great workout with a monotonic bass.

13. Sleepy Time Down South
Key of F
I learned this instrumental arrangement from Duck Baker. It's Louis Armstrong's theme song. I recorded this as an instrumental and as a song with vocals.Performance instrumental
