[freddym223]

thx MegapotamusGigantus ! send me the video when you post it . i checked out your chet style playing . very good !

[joebarneywes]

Freddy - I've viewed several of your videos and you have to be one of the best chord/melody jazz guitarists currently on the net - and a fan of Barney Kessel? I have been a big Kessel fan for years - I met him at Ronny Scotts with Herb Ellis and Charlie Bird in 1982 when I was 18 and have listened to his work ever since. Look forward to more of your wonderful rich extended chord work.

[freddym223]

thx for the kind words joebarneywes ! yes barney is about my favorite for chord solos. i had most of his records.i talked to him only once at dante's restaurant when i lived in LA. saw him playing live twice. you could tell he loved the guitar !

Take care and spread your music.. Ed

[Chibiharlz101]

@15yngwie15 sorry.i just do that with my students.takes a lot of time

[15yngwie15]

@freddym223 it's ok,can you share me the chord prog ?

[freddym223]

@15yngwie15 i dont understand what you mean by chord program

[zthetha]

Love this interpretation Freddy. Nice guitar too - trying to make out what it is - looks very expensive.

[freddym223]

thx zthetha ! it's an "arbor" very cheap

[zthetha]

@freddym223 Thanks for info - this is a new name to me - gonna look it up - I thought it might be some pricey luthier made job - which is how you make it sound!

[Ken742903]

with tasteful chordal ideas -- keep 'em coming--Ken [UK]

[dealer205]

Hi Freddy, Could you tell me if there would be a nice jazz chord between D7 and Gmaj7 descending, as in the last line of each verse of 'let it snow let it snow'. Many thanks. Sam

[freddym223]

hi Sam.not a lot you can do on any tune from D7 to GMa7 as your already there,try /Am7 D7/GMa7/

[reliablebow]

[Tototwice]

Hi Freddy, How goes it? I must have listened to this one 100 x and still keep comin back ; that's a sign of a really great guitar player! Were you lucky enough to play out for a living?........KEEPON STRUMMIN...DALLAS

[freddym223]

Yes Dallas,23 years 6 nites a week.please read my profile :-)

[Nocaster2000]

Lovely!

The key of E on guitar sounds really full and beautiful.

Pity when playing this tune with a hornplayer that he/she seems to avoid the "guitar key" and it ends up in Eb, Ab etc..

Anyhow.

Great playing!

[freddym223]

thanks Nocaster! i did the same to misty & moonlite in vermont

[GAMVM]

If you sold an album I would by it in a heart beat, I love all of your covers. Great job, Salutations all the way from Costa Rica!

[freddym223]

[ben666wraith]

[dtpm60]

Freddy... just gorgeous!

I am trying to learn this for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. But I am having such a difficult time picking out the chords for it. I can hear some of them... just not all of the necessary ones. I am a beginner when it comes to jazz chords.

[freddym223]

thanks dtpm60 ! this is not an easy solo to play,and you need to use your thumb.good luck though

[mpal7]

Just beautiful!

[freddym223]

[JubalCalif]

Wow and double wow! What an amazing rendition of one of my all time favorite romantic songs. A sheer delight to listen to! You are an extremely talented performer. Seeing this clip for the first time has REALLY made my day. Kudos!

[ironmonger100]

[freddym223]

[savidras]

Keep up the good work.

[freddym223]

no problem savidras. by the way,i've never used pedals

[robbourassaguitarist]

Great job. Very musical. You've got the stuff.

[freddym223]

thanks Rob!!!

[Tototwice]

Hi Freddy, I will tell U without reservation......... someone out there may B as good BUT nobody does it better! What a really fabulous job on a really great tune....Thx 4 playing the tunes that say something.... I am hoping that everyone knows the words 2 this tune because the way U played it the guitar sings out what is being said in the lyrics...KEEPON STRUMMIN............DALLAS

[freddym223]

thanks Toto! i'm pleased you understand i'm trying to say something with my music,rather than just playing a bunch of fancy notes!

[shifteed]

love your style and sound

I have played rock and blues for most of my time and now I am venturing into jazz.

you make it so easy to understand

cant get enough of your stuff

keep on plucking

[shifteed]

beautiful 5*****

[freddym223]

thanks shifteed!!! i love the quotes on your profile! especially the last one!thats how i've lived! :-)

[shifteed]

I too quit playing for about 20 yrs to raise a family

now I am trying some new styles and enjoying it very much

check out this cat one of my new favs ( besides you)

fretkillr

do you have a version of 'Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans'

[menilmontant]

very good version, and some interesting approach...!

I'm going to dig your channel

[freddym223]

thanks menilmontant! glad to have you visit anytime!!!

[jazzyedwin24]

I see that you use your thump just like Barney Kessel, I like that you got some of his style but with your own. Well done!!!

[freddym223]

thanks jazzyedwin24! i started using my thumb at age nine because of my small hands,but was pleased to find out 10 years later that barney copied me by using his thumb also! lol-(just kidding)

[alohacaramia]

I love how you play, your phrasing on the guitar is so smoothe never hurried. Really allows me to absorb the melody, rather like floating on the ocean, day dreaming soaking every thing in. You inspire me to sing and play more guitar.

[freddym223]

thanks alohacaramia! i'm glad your getting inspired to play and sing more!

[MuscleMikal]

Hey Freddy,

I'm an accomplished pianist working on my jazz piano skills.

For some reason, I can pick up more by ear listening to a jazz guitarist rather than a jazz pianist. I tend to hear it more clearly for some reason.

Thanks for posting these.

[freddym223]

thanks MuscleMikal!probably because i use less notes than a piano.also the intervals are farther apart making it easier to hear.

i used to play classical guitar arrangements on the piano as the notes are less cluttered.try it!

[delta8]

what a feeling,very nice,thank you for share you soul.

[freddym223]

and thankyou for listening delta8

[guitargod97]

Freddy - Lovely as usual. Gotta ask - what kind of amplification are you using to get that beautiful tone? Sounds wonderful.

[freddym223]

thanks again guitargod97!

[jamiolguitar]

I love your videos:) you are great guitarist!

Hi Freddy =] can you watch to my video "Stand By Me" tks =]

[rblrimes]

Freddy; I just finished listening to all your visdeo' and I am just awed...So Sweet...I used to listen to a lot of Les Paul and you are playing on that level or better..Don't forget if you ever make a CD give me a shot at one of them...I'll keep listening you keep playing..Uncle, Jim

[freddym223]

thanks uncle Jim,your overly kind,Les paul is in his 90's and still playing gigs! the 1st CD is yours

[b5b9]

Thanks freddym223. I am what I would call a 'lawyer' guitarist, that is, I can only play what is given to me in writing. I truly envy you and other 'natural' musicians who can play what they hear and imagine. Your chords are a wonderful example of musical creativity.

[loveforladyday]

LIKE BILLIE.MERCI FREDDY

[freddym223]

thank you very much for the nice compliment Loveforladyday.BILLIE LIVES ON thanks to you

[starglasses76]

Cool arrangement...really like the tone, too!

[freddym223]

thanks Starglasses76,means a lot comming from such a fine guitarist as yourself

[desertlight]

Very beautiful to the ears. I really love this song. There is something special in the timbre of solo and chord guitar playing that takes it beyond keyboard versions. Thanks for the experience

[freddym223]

thanks DESERTLIGHT,I just checked out your jazzy piano playing,sweet!

[userfixit]

Freddy,

Both you and the guitar are at the point of 'ONEness' during this solo.

I'd bet that you could really arrange my favorite song to the Ultimate level. "Somewhere, Over the Rainbow" Play it Master Freddy. That song has huge potantial.

The Best,

Bob in GA

[freddym223]

thanks BOB,ive had another request for over the rainbow also.great tune but itll have to wait a while

[brupaqui]

Very very very beautiful!!!!

[freddym223]

thankyou very very very much BRUPAQUI!!!! it really means a lot comming from the smoothest chord soloist on the planet!

[Woolfy48]

This song is beautiful ! Thx for your comment on my video.

[freddym223]

thanks Woolfy,and thanks for posting some nice guitar work yourself
