Sight-reading and interpreting a Jazz Standard Leadsheet - Reading music on Jazz Guitar

Sight-reading music is a tricky situation to be in for most jazz guitar players. Most of the time when you are in a situation where you have to read music from a leadsheet or similar you actually have to interpret what is there as much as you have to be able to read a specific melody or set of voicings. This interpretation and analysis is what I try to discuss in this video.

The video covers a discussion and an analysis of the song and different approaches to comping and strategies to keep in mind.

There is a list of contents below in the description.
