"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" Peter Mazza "Solo Jazz Guitar" "Solo Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar"

[bluewaterpig]

@aliihsanasl if you want solo jazz guitar just like the video, check out any of the Virtuoso albums by Joe Pass (they're numbered, I.e. Virtuoso #4). I really, reaaaaally recommend getting Jimmy Bruno's album titled 'Solo'. It will blow your mind, guaranteed.

[srbnmircea]

You just convinced this wannabe metal guitarist to turn to jazz, congratulations! Any tips on where should I start off XD?

[attyyay]

lovely!

[guitarcory1]

Magnificent as always!

[papyslapet1]

Magnifique! Vous donnez toute sa valeur à ce célèbre morceau et vous faites sonner cet instrument incroyable (vraiment le top chez Gibson). Bravo!

[aliihsanasl]

This is the style/music I really enjoy to listen, solo jazz guitar without distortion, bass, piano etc. any album advices for me ? Seriously I'm lost.

[antonircrc40]

Venderia mi alma al Diablo para tocar asi. Congratulations.

[dsam121]

Absolutely wonderful. You an incredible guitarist. Keep it up!

[gerardmanjoue]

Dear jazz guitarist, I am very impressed with your game and your voicings. it sounds! The guitar sound is remarkable, it sounds like a piano. Your arrangement is very modern and interesting, I usually do not like this song, but this arrangement makes me want to play more often.

You are the jazz guitarist on youtube I was most impressed with this release.

Thank you for your knowledge transmitted.

With great respect. *****

I can't stop watching these, virtuosity of the highest level! Hope all is well and that you had a splendid time in France!

[petermazzajazzguitar]

@guitarshreddar1122 - Thanks Colin! I've certainly put my life's blood into them, and so I'm glad to make such a difference for a young and rising talent like yourself. France (east, south then Paris)- all utterly beautiful, elegant and soulful. Something to behold! talk soon? all the best...

[Rickyyy001]

You sir are amazing. Thank you for the inspiration.

[petermazzajazzguitar]

@Rickyyy001 - Thanks so much, Ricky. I'm sending you the best from Paris, where I am right now. Back in NYC on the 28th. I have yet to delve into your playing, so on a very casual note, I'm offering that I teach on skype (even to pros/peers who simply want to delve into my harmonic approach). Thank you again for listening!

[gp1231]

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Dear Friends, Thanks SO much for your continued support of my playing/this video. I see that the close up shot has devastated the views of the wide shot...:) which means 35, 892 guitar players may have just thought the borrow a chord voicing or two..LOL!

Well, I hope you keep coming back for more. There's certainly plenty more on the way. I know some really great guitar players are sending me their vids. Looking forward to checking those out!

All the best,

Peter

[stegre1]

Do you have a transcription avaialable?

[6468792]

a nice adventure...very nice

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Dear Friends, Thanks SO much for all this wonderful feedback on my playing. I was a bit "spoiled" because a very technologically savvy friend shot this stuff for me. I've yet to set my self up to do this kind of quality at home, but it's not TOO far away.

I will look forward to sharing more arrangements with LOADS of goodies in them. All the best to you, my talented and supportive buddies here! Peter

[agento86]

So, a few bars into this piece and its very apparent that you have an incredible knowledge of the music language/theory. As a result, your interpretation of this song is exquisite, to say the least. Holy inner voicings and substitutions batman! Your technique is relaxed and you enjoy what your doing. The sound of your rig compliments all the above.

Picture me fainting seeing a chord sheet of this. 8o

Creme de la creme, monsieur.

Bravo, continue!!

[luukey9]

WOW! Great arrangement, scary good playing!

Dave

[bondman00794]

Now this.... This is how a guitar should be played.

[bluespirit64]

Peter that was awesome love the song and came across your video. you have inspired me to play the guitar (again). fantastic arrangement and great chords. Can't wait to hear and see more. Thank you.

[ba77ar90]

gd camera!! :P

[smilinjack11]

Nice arrangement! Great rich chords! I also really like the ascending tenths you do. Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff!

[Deekaytm]

[Elperdedor49]

You just blew my mind.

[inverness]

Gosh..I could go on for days just listening to this!

[petermazzajazzguitar]

thanks SO much! more on the way! all the best to you AND ps- please do!...:)

[andrew1schaeffer]

@petermazzajazzguitar i just started learning jazz but i've been playing for about 4 years now (changing from blues to jazz) do you know any great sites? i'm from ultimate-guitar but i can't really find good jazz lessons there. i'd like to know how to create great voicings like you.

[lydian7999]

Holy crap man........you're chord changes are out of this world........quick and brilliant, great great great playing, but you must know that!

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Thanks SO much! I really appreciate that. I recently moved to a new place after 15 years in my old place (did a LOT of practicing there...lol) Have yet to really set up a audio/video studio here, but as soon as I'm record ready, I'll post more. I'll stop by your page, but am sending you all the best in the meanwhile!

[anthonyrufo1]

Amazing......just amazing Peter.........everytime I see you play it inspires me to pick up my guitar and practice-practice-practice....­...great vid......!!!

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Thanks so much, AR! Miss you, amigo, and have lots more to share in that follow up lesson. All the best to you! PM

[janeismyname100]

[bertosas]

[earlgrey626]

very nice playing, man. What kind of guitar and amp are you using?

[Bop2thebone]

AER-great Job Peter.

[zonedout245]

I just want to say that I accidentally gave you a four. You deserve a five.

[Georfrias]

Hey! Mr. Mazza its kevin from Laguardia H.S. I really enjoyed listening to this, very inspirational! i was wondering what gage ur using? are those 12? or 13?

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Thanks Mr. Jelly Roll, aka??? VERY much appreciated. I started when I was 10 for Led Zeppelin? does that explain it all? lol. I really enjoyed your basic fundamentals of rock video, and will point some beginner students of mine to it. I'm sure they'll get great value! Please stay in touch. All the best to you! Peter

[JellyrollHorton]

Quite beautiful, Peter. May I ask how old you were when you started playing guitar?

[spmalic]

beautifully played - tastefully arranged

thanks

[newcj69]

genius and artistic

[petermazzajazzguitar]

I will try to live up to that statement in videos to come! Thank you for that! To make a difference playing music (and especially our esoteric little language of jazz guitar) is a THRILL! I look forward to knowing your music....all the best, Peter

[m0nkw]

Master of harmony

[Jazzguitman]

I would love to here your take on "All the things you are" if you ever get time. Thanks Peter.

Chris

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Hey Chris, thank you SO much. And back at you for your awesome playing. Say...is there anything you'd like to hear??

[Jazzguitman]

Did I mention how good this is? Great.

[Jazzguitman]

Awesome arrangement/playing/tone !

Chris

[gvbattle]

You saved me the trouble of video taping this myself. Consider your arrangement stolen! Now if only I could play it ....

[BacEgChsBis]

Great arrangement and playing, looking forward to hearing more!

[petermazzajazzguitar]

Thanks for checking this out, everyone. If you enjoyed this, there are more to come! My friend Brian Brodeur at NY DVD invited me out to his studio and play a bit. he is THE BEST. We mic'd my AER compact 60 with an (very special) SM57 (lol) plus a direct box into pro tools while running the video.

[steve11523]

Great chord substitutions, very hip arrangement, yet you maintain the beauty of the original tune. You are a great player, I enjoyed this very much!!

[mojogypsy]

This made my evening! :-)

[laylasheleh]

[jazzand]
