Satin Doll
Course Lessons
Start CourseSatin Doll is one of the best jazz standards to start learning jazz. After learning the blues, this is an excellent next step.
The song is fairly simple but has a few tricks to keep it interesting.
This course is very similar to how we learned the blues.
I start out by finding the root and shell of each chord and playing through the whole song that way. This will build the foundation to understanding how the piece is put together.
After that I build on that skill and show you a bunch of other ways to play the tune: stride, block style, comping…
