Nylon string jazz - guitar improvisation

[TheMusicislifeduh]

Tabs?

[rentz46]

Dude you are good

[slangestorm]

Very nice sound and playin..

[707dude707]

Beautiful guitar work it's sounds so warm.

Is this amplified or recorded by mic?

[planetalk]

@707dude707 ... thanks, dude ... mic, a Rode NT-1A ... I believe. It's not actually written anywhere on the mic and I'm not sure I'm remembering right. Great mic, very affordable. It's sounds a bit furry and distorted in these YT movies, it's better than that.

[Hoopermazing]

At the risk of sounding slightly fey, that was beautiful.

[Rom1970]

very nice...

[roge69charger]

Jazz sounds great on a Classical Guitar, But, It depends what type of Classical Guitar, His guitar is Similar to my 1969 custom made in Bklyn NYC, Del Pilar, Which I picked out of Six of them made that June.

Mr, Pilar called it not really a Classical Guitar, But, What is called today a Hybrid.

I can't play Jazz of The Ramirez Guitars of that time era.

[dirtymccurty]

Beautiful! Which model Gibson is that? C-4? 50's or 60's?

Thanks

[ShuvoYoshi]

Man, this song is sooo beautiful

Can someone tell me the name of this song?

I wanna get the tabs just so i can play it to my loved one someday in the future :]

[planetalk]

@ShuvoYoshi ... it's an old big band tune called "I'm getting Sentimental Over You" ... this is my own arrangement and I'm afraid I never tabbed it out.

[ShuvoYoshi]

:] Thank you for your reply :D

I have to say, this makes me feel so good...

Words actually can't describe how nice the feeling is ^^

Thanks again, Love it :D

and as for the tabs, i hope u don't mind if i try to learn it from your video and play it lol

[aoknives]

@planetalk

My eyes & ears, and the replay button will do fine for me:)

Beautiful song by the way!

[whoobie2008]

very nice...

[caprico82]

i think the dynamics are lost due to nylon strings.. like the subtle bends, vibratos, slides, hammer-ons etc... dont come through here.

but top notch feeling and playing!

[guerrald]

I wanna get one just so I can learn to play Maria, Maria.

[stphnsantiesteban]

its chords

[koyteSSS]

che chitarra

bravo

[edo77edo]

sixth string is D.

[bluelos68]

I LOVE the tone you get on the Gison. Too many effects cloud the melody. Nice!

[nickandmikec]

Great stuff. Boy, I sure wish I could find somebody who knows Harold Arlen's piece, "Out of This World" on guitar. About a million guys do "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," but one is hard-pressed to find one version of "Out of This World" on guitar. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your videos...all of them are very encouraging. They make you want to play.

[JamKar1]

Five stars. Wonderful cover of that old

Glen Miller chestnut.

[Nuunitox]

where can i find the tabs for this?

[planetalk]

No tabs for this one, I'm afraid.

[BorderSkt99]

are nylon string guitars alright for hammering?

[planetalk]

Sure, why not?

[calebthomas28]

@planetalk lol wtf did border skt just ask? i mean seriously? c'mon now nylons can handle anything, and they play nicer than any other type of guitar.

[YofterMofter]

@BorderSkt99 Depends on the size of the nail you want to hammer in.

[spaghettihero]

that's sentimental journey isn't it?

[spaghettihero]

whoops, I meant I'm Getting Sentimental Over You

[planetalk]

That's the one.

[johnielsen08]

Beautiful. This playing is absolutely excellent. What tuning and guitar are you using?

[planetalk]

I'm in dropped D, John. Thanks for the feedback.

[mats9863]

Maybe everyone could play an easy piece.

But only few performers are able to play something that send to classical worthy beauty.GOOOOOOOOD!!

[muadix]

Post more things like these! Very nice!

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

never mind

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

is that the chord progression to Georgia on my mind?

[wojtektiger10]

VEEEERY NICE

[tedkez]

Thats the way to do it! Great feel, expression.

[eddiez152]

Kirk,

That was just grand. Could sit and listen to you all day long.

[mikeberk810]

this is really nice man. it's great to hear the tune's structure in this improv instead of just rambling scales.

good job,

michael berk

[mwljazzguitar]

That guitar sounds great!

[WCtheBeta]

I thoroughly enjoyed this.  Thanks.

[megatonydeath]

I guess it was an imrprovisation on how to spell improvisation too

[BeeMichael]

Very tasty - makes me want to pick up my trombone and play along

[rezaM]

Amazing , soulful & beautiful.

thanx for the inspiration ,

[maurieer]

My thoughts also.

[radiogm]

Splendid! I heard a guy in a restaurant in Kansas City, he restrung with nylon on an electric acoustic and from my table I could have sworn he was playing a Gibson L5 or L7. Great sound!

[lorenzino1]

As I've seen, it's a Gibson Nylon strings;it sounds well!I've look-at & hear your Bossa Nova lesson, & as I play Bossas, Sambas, Brazilian music since 1984, I've visit your profile page & see this Nylon strings Jazz, and it's coooool!Was the Bossa lesson one of your composition? Good job,man!

[planetalk]

Yes, lorenzino1, my composition. Thanks for the feedback.

[marsegovia]

Is it your composition? The last line I know... "I'm getting sentimental over you..." You may want to get with my Dad. He's familiar with this song. What's the title?

[planetalk]

Yes, this is 'Sentimental Over You' ... I was responding the question about the Bossa Nova track I composed. It is my arrangement, though. ;-)

[thread808]

love it!!! you are making my day ...won't go to bed till i nail it....Aloha

[dudedownunderz]

this is wonderful! gorgeous sound but a bit too relaxing hehe need a lil nightcap drink...

[jeffwahlguitar]

Very beautiful. Jazz on a nylon string is such a great sound.

[maakunlove86]

i am very sure this song was covered by louis armstrong.

[HybridZounds]

this was very soothing.

[gostodejasmim]

You know how to be a heartbreaker!!

[jomo3309]

Kirk-That song brings back memories of my dad listening to his old vinyl. You did such a wonderful version. Thank you.

Joe

[CrAzzyWak]

Very nice. Is it an improvisation?

[jiyder]

what brand is that guitar?

[planetalk]

It's a 1963 Gibson nylon string.

[RobbieNohra]

what is this song?

[DADRENO]

It's 'Gettin' Sentimental Over You' I think.

[planetalk]

That's the one, DADRENO. A great old tune.

[PMDVD]

It's burned into my memory as during the war we had a version by Ivy Benson and her Allgirls Band on our old HMV windup machine!

[giorgiopicker]

[ordentemem]

[dankdank]
