Chord Melody, Soloing and Comping Guide on Misty

"What I like most is I finally have a step-by-step "guide" to learn new material properly, to build a repertoire. I've been reading jazz theory for years, and tried out different scales over different chords and stuff, but it's been too much information and the information won't stick unless you use it in a ""real life situation"", like when you play a standard all the way through. My plan now is to learn the material from the tune of the month club properly, and afterwards I can use all the other information to try different approaches to soloing over the tune or reharmonizing it."

-Svenn Erik S., Sweden
"The Tune of the Month club package is the "Best Value Package of any instructional guitar lesson on the Internet"! It includes [...] "all in one kit". [...]. On the "Girl from Ipanema" module, the solo alone is super tasteful, unrushed, and well executed, outlining the chord changes smoothly. It alone is worth the price of admission. As a bonus, the various Bossa Nova rhythms are critical to playing Brazilian music with a good pulse and "sway" feeling. I am working on that at the moment.I have to admit to playing guitar for decades and still finding these kits very informative and worthwhile - even if I only focus on one facet per month. The materials are all archived and I can always go back and polish up a tune. I am very positive about this offering."

-Jerry B., Ontario, Canada

Lead Sheet, Chord Melody, Comping, Soloing ... and more!

Chord Melody

Get a complete arrangement for solo guitar for this tune! Every chord melody in our Standards series is written with interesting themes and vocabulary in mind. Learn the arrangement, then arrange your own chord melodies on different tunes using similar techniques!

This tune's chord melody is a rubato arrangement, filling in spaces between the melody with finger-picked chords. Keep an eye out for very creative use of open strings

Comping Study

You'll also get a comping (short for "accompaniment") study based off the chord progression for this tune. Each comping study centers around a specific theme, technique, or piece of comping vocabulary. Explore every possibility, and then take them into your own playing on other tunes!

The comping study for "Misty" is also meant to be played out of time, but focuses on filling space between ballad chords by weaving a melody line through different chord shapes.

Single-Note Solo

Want a real example of how to solo on this standard? We have a fully-transcribed single-note solo arrangement for each Standard tune centred on expanding upon a piece of jazz vocabulary or a transcription from a real jazz legend. Play the solo in full, then steal your favourite lines and assimilate them into your own improv vocabulary!

The solo for "Misty" is punctuated with chord punches, which is perfect for guitarists to fill space and set the time between phrases. It also features some great bluesy double stops and licks.

What do I get with this course?

Our Standards courses come jam-packed with material designed to help you learn tunes and their intricacies. All of the above comes with:

  • Soundslice integration for every video - this amazing tool allows you to hear the demonstration while reading along with synchronized sheet music...and you control the action! Speed it up, slow it down, or even loop sections of what you're playing to make it even easier to learn!
  • Complete video instruction for each arrangement, and any relevant backing tracks;
  • Fully fleshed-out sheet music with TABs for each arrangement, as well as a simple lead sheet for the song - just melody and chords!
  • XML file copies for all sheet music, so that you can plug them directly into Finale or Sibelius and hear what you're seeing;
  • and Backing track MP3 files for relevant arrangements.

And remember: sheet music PDFs, XML files, and backing track audio files are downloadable for you to keep forever.

Whether you've been playing on Misty for a while and want to kick things into the next gear or if you're just starting to learn it, this course is the perfect place to practice on this timeless classic.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why should I learn tunes?
Learning real jazz standards is the most effective way to learn jazz itself. Here at JazzGuitarLessons.net, we advocate that 50% of your practice time should be spent mastering tunes and applying your jazz chords, solo vocabulary, and chord melody techniques over them. Our Standards series is the BEST place to start.
I want to learn SO MANY of your tunes, but the costs add up quickly. Is there a more economic option?
Subscribe to the Unlimited Membership! Not only do you get access to ALL 50 TUNES - you also unlock the entirety of our video tutorial curriculum! You can access the Unlimited Membership with a link below, or from the website's home page.
I'm a beginner. Is this tune easy to learn?
Learning the basic elements of each tune is easy, even if it takes a bit of time - you just need to learn the chord progression and the melody! However, we've stuffed each arrangement chock-full of interesting, incredible jazz guitar playing. Playing it all at once can be challenging but rewarding, so we advise that you break it down into tiny, manageable chunks.
What's the best way to use the materials in this course?
The chord melody, comping study, and single-note solo arrangements in this course provide a snap-shot of REAL JAZZ GUITAR PLAYING over a popular jazz standard. You CAN learn each arrangement "cover-to-cover", but a more effective way to use these materials is to print out the sheet music, listen to the demonstration video, and highlight your FAVOURITE parts. Analyze, learn, and master these licks, phrases, and chord grips so that you can make them a part of your own vocabulary and pull them out at a moment's notice!
