Sweet Sue, Part 1: Chords and Rhythm
 

“Sweet Sue” (originally called “Sweet Sue, Just You”) was a popular song in 1928, and soon became a jazz standard. Great early recordings include those by Django Reinhardt and Benny Goodman. You don’t need to learn any new voicings to play “Sweet Sue”; you can use those you’ve already learned. So Aaron takes you through the chord progression to “Sweet Sue” right off the bat.
