Rhythm Changes

I spent a week working out the rhythm guitar part, I spent a couple of hours making the rhythm guitar fit with the bass part, and then I decided that a cold first take of vocals and lead guitar would be fine. Is this counterproductive behavior?

Anyway, the Gershwin chestnut.

Body And Soul

The Swing standard. I spent some time working on Coleman Hawkins' solo, but it was a very slow process, so I cut bait and moved on.

The Girl From Ipanema

The hoary bossa-nova standard. Song is in F, but there is a bunch of chromatic business between G and Gb and B and Bb. The bridge is a pretty straightforward circle of fifths progression.
