I wonder what’s the story behind the name of the tune.

This is the latest video of me attempting to improvise over a I-VI-II-V progression in Ab using Jimmy Bruno’s concepts. I must say that his method works and there’s more to be said for online guitar instruction that I previously thought or suggested in this post.

I’m learning how to improvise to Satin Doll and have been searching for renditions I like on youtube.

Here are some videos that I found:

Something Satin

Satin Doll – position study #1 (A great version by a fellow advanced JBGI student Telebop that impressed Jimmy Bruno)

Satin Doll – John Pizzarelli

D.Dvareckas – D. Elington Satin Doll

And here’s a humble attempt from me (with mistakes and all) limiting myself to one area of the fretboard. I’ve never really been able to improvise but have managed to learn so much with Jimmy Bruno’s method. The video is not perfect and I’m still struggling to learn and play the tune in all areas of the fretboard, so please don’t expect to see something that will blow you away.
