We brought my old friend Jim Bruno back in the fold with his lesson on <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/3000-misty-accompaniment-version\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Misty<\/a>, the way he or I might back up someone singing it. Not surprisingly, he backed himself singing it as he is a phenomenal vocalist and instructor as well as jazz guitarist.<\/p>\n<p>I also finally finished a lesson that had been percolating for a couple months on common jazz chord voicings using just four strings. And not surprisingly, it is called <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/3001-four-string-chord-voicings\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Four-String Chord Voicings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We added a couple new lessons from Nesh as well \u2013 Eva Cassidy&#8217;s version of <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/2998-the-water-is-wide\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Water Is Wide<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/2999-do-that-to-me-one-more-time\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Do That To Me One More Time<\/a> by The Captain &#038; Tennille.<\/p>\n<p>And on the personal and sentimental side, a song I wrote 26 years ago to the day was on my radar. It has been many years since I took out Papa&#8217;s Guitar, and many years since I played the guitar or the song. The tune was a little rusty but I got through it and gave the shortest version of the story I could. It might be worthy of a lesson someday but it was nice to revisit it a bit today.<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 9, 2025 This week we had a couple nods to the world of jazz.
