Here we have 2 JAZZY SOLO arrangements of one of the most enchanting songs ever written - DANNY BOY (Also known as Londonderry Air)!
Some time ago I posted some campanella and campanella with chords arrangements of DANNY BOY on my patreon channel (they were and still are exclusive to patreon members) and promised a future jazz version - here we have one Jazz arrangement FREE for ALL and a little more complication version for patreon members only - the more complex version has different chords and some amazing runs with 6th's...
Version one is an excellent beginners piece!
STUDY NOTES:
Measure 1: Since you're using your 1st finger for the Gmaj7 in the 1st measure - use your 3rd finger for the notes on the 7th fret. First fret the note on the second string while the open note on the first string is ringing then lay the 3rd finger down for the partial barre to get the note on the first string (7th fret), then your first finger for the note on the 4th string (7th fret). Now you have played a beautiful campanella passage (little bells).
Measure 3: For the notes on the 7th fret barre with your 3rd finger then add your first finger for the note on the 4th string - remove you 1st finger for the open note while still holding down the barre... There's another beautiful campanella passage.
Measure 4: Dsus7 to a D7 (no root) here...
Measure 6: You could do an open note for the note on the 3rd string in the dyad, it would then be a C rather the a C9.
Measure 10: May want to slide up to the note on the 10th fret.
Measure 12: A slide to the note on the 10th fret is indicated here for the second one.
Measure 13: Slide up to the note on the 14th fret is indicated here.
Measure 15: 3rd finger barre similar to what we did in measure 3
DANNY BOY - JAZZ Version 2 - This more complex version has different chords (extra super cool jazz chords) and some amazing runs with 6th's... (patreon).
Try a combination of the 2, play the first version and then the second for an extended piece!
Have fun!
