January 2023 Song Challenge - Autumn Leaves

Intermediate/Advanced Song Challenge - "Autumn Leaves" - Joseph Kosma

In this month's song challenge we take a look at the beautiful jazz standard Autumn Leaves. There are many different versions of this song, but I stole this one from a YouTuber many years ago and I have forgotten his name. This version plays everything on the E, A, D and G strings and does not use the B or high E string.

Song Notes

The time values I provided in the TAB are not correct, so please use the video to get the proper rhythm. This version will be in standard tuning and you should play with just your fingers and no pick to get the correct sound.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
