[BAshleyMilwaukee]

[5cRuFfY1]

Ha! This is beautiful I'm trying to follow this musical style.

[specthanatos]

Embrace your girl, close your eyes and don't let loose. Now listen and fly to heaven.

[ToxicUFO]

This song was wonderful, thank you.

[alfonsopablo]

People of Jazz World. I just posted an arrangement of "Just Friends". We would like to hear your comments as this is our first attempt with Jazz. Please click on my link 'alfonsopablo' next to this comment to listen.

[bobbydeells]

music can be very spiritual and has a order, its terrible when it doesn't move in its order.

[tony9L9L]

Thats really great, might sound even better with a vintage archtop and perhaps less sound deadening carpet next time? Maybe try recording without the carpet (more mid frequencies from a hard wood floor) and of course a darker coloured shirt would help the treble frequencies sustain just a little longer?

Thanks for posting.

[LaylaShaynazu258]

hehe I love good company, slow music, candle lights

[jetsonjoe]

just wonderful...I am a big fan of quieter music all round...less is more..less is so much more...even in painting...art, life...in possessions and eating...good simple...meaning attention to all parts but selectively is more enjoyment for all the parts necessary to make you feel just awesome...slow down...turn off the damn cellphone, cancel your texting plan...lift your head up walking down the street...and just plan on taking more time getting anywhere..

[sje916]

This is absolutely beautiful -where can I find more?

[geetarxist]

super

[sibates27]

please can you send me this tab this is a great video man and i dont care what anyone has to say about that

[noamchoco]

Does someone know about an artist who play the same Genre as that one?

Pandora is blocked in my country so..

[DanskeSange]

@noamchoco Check out Tommy Emmanuel :)

[noamchoco]

@DanskeSange

I've heard him once or twice, he's amazing!

But I heard him play some other genres, I need this kind of Jazz, quiet and easy..

[liortamam]

@noamchoco try beyond the misoury sky by pat matheny and charlie haiden

[bjkim715]

beautiful

[T1prince]

C'est merveilleux, what amazing song

tank's

[jamesworakul]

great

[xkupi]

beautiful.

[KfourD3]

I like that his shirt and guitar are the same colour

[isleoforkney]

@KfourD3 set off nicely by the bright blue of his denim jeans, and black 'fuckme' pumps, typical of Matt

[ozkennylee]

Uuummm it is g...o..od. I guess

[niroshaxavier]

you're simply amazing

[1234RockHard]

The feeling i get while listening to this is amazing i feel like i'm gonna cry its so good

[rezejezer]

so calm ;)

[tatalito]

ESTATE....Joao Gilberto!...great!

[isleoforkney]

find the groove, it sounds like you are still practising, a little falutering

[netokaju]

Beatiful,congratulations.Yeah!­!!,See My performance in ;Luiza Tom Jobim...

[justinfurnish]

this is beautiful. i wish i could play like this.

[Timisontheweb]

just had a party and cleaned up, needed some good guitar music for the last beer and cigarette. this 'll suit just fine :)

[danielsaffron]

That guitar looks like a direct rip off of a D'angelico.

[H4ssell]

so relaxing

[HanifRigby]

so beautiful. I love it.

[Harmonikz]

this guy has big passion.. u can feel it thru his playing. what a great ear and heart

[valemilan1]

so nice and romantic

[SonyaHatesSchool]

Love It <3 Thnx for beautiful music!

[SonyaHatesSchool]

Love It <3 Thnx for beautiful music!

[Dalmonius]

Jazz >> ALL

[prixx13]

those who dislike are people who doesn't know what music is!!!! hate them!! thanx i love this video

[Franklinfishingflies]

Beautiful tone and very nice guitar work. As a guitar instructor being open to all styles of music is critical to capturing the students attention. Classical to rock and everything in between, when arranged well is all soothing to my ears.

[viarnay]

love the sound of that machine :)

[orlandoCF1]

So beautiful.............please keep playing.

[TheWinterShow111]

This. Is just fantastic. The passionate, expressive nuances Mr. Otten puts into each interpretation of "Estate," "Days of Wine and Roses," and "Laurie," are irrevocably marvelous. People making music like this gives me hope for music in the future. Keep at it, Matt! You're a legend in the small town of Evergreen, Colorado.

[darkoanton5]

Great guitar playing.

[KiraPlaysGuitar]

Makes my heart swell.

And just reading those two top rated comments, makes me a little sad. The comments are spot on, I agree completely, but the fact that there is still this silly argument going around, is disappointing. Music like this should (and can) be appreciated by anyone, from any musical background. Believe it or not, but a lot of progressive metal bands these days are heavily influenced by music not unlike what you're listening to now.

[KiraPlaysGuitar]

@KiraPlaysGuitar This coming from a fan of Jazz, Metal, Deathcore, Blues, Hip-Hop, Dub Step, Rock, Classical, Psy-Trance, Samba, Salsa nad just about anything under the sun.

I like DatsiK as much as I like Bobby Jaspar or Whitechapel, Bach, Tech-N9ne, Infected Mushroom, Ozomatli, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley. The list truly does go on.

My iPod for example, has 13,228 songs and ever-counting. Inspiration can be drawn from the strangest of places, it's up to you to look for it however.

[aarongtr180]

@KiraPlaysGuitar Exactly. Metal bands like Atheists and Gorguts draw very heavily from jazz.

[olivercarlehed]

this deserves better audio quality .. fantastic performance.

[gerardmanjoue]

Very sweet interpretation of ESTATE.

Great feeling and musicality.

Thks for posting and Bravo for your talent .

[joshuarugg]

just shut your mouth and listen to that sweet sound guys. you cant listen too well when your trolling on youtube.

[somedayfc]

nice video, i m a singer i hope my new video !

[WyattsRevolution]

The riff at 3:53 is indescribable.

[strwy2hvn94]

@WyattsRevolution I would describe it as a blues riff.

[bruce68]

great ! it's ESTATE! Claude Nougaro is singing it.

[bakkemusikk]

Amazing video !

Don`t stop playing :)

[Lunarizing]

This makes me want to quit my job to go home and play.

[koplertaik]

@Lunarizing

hey man,... your so have a good hearth

[bigpimpinCBP]

@Lunarizing but then u wont be able to afford internet which means no song :/

[norbi8072]

Awesome music, really smooth.

And don't worry about the mess,

i just "see" the music...:))

[SCgirl001]

wow beautifully relaxing

[MCalixte89]

The way you play kind of reminds my of Lenny Breau in certain parts.

[BuddLightbrain]

Enriched my day! thanks : )

[BabyiiPorshaau479]

[criticaddict]

Smooth nd relaxing xoxo:)

[ianyuhd00d]

Now that's what I call 7 minutes in heaven.

[mfn4u]

Matt never ceases to amaze me! I find this incedibly pleasant with smoothness and clever improvising, some musicians judge by how fast one plays, that was quickdraw in the old west. Now it's how intellectually stimulated one gets after hearing this that motivates others creativeness.

[rockzorzlawl]

that was a bit inspiring.

[dmsanct]

dude that was beautiful

[Scarbacca07]

@SagesScents In addition to the names @skipheaton recommended, I would strongly suggest you listen to some George Benson (is instrumental stuff is better than his singing) and Jody Fisher. Both GREAT jazz guitarists.

[lloydfsalcedo]

Every people has different types and taste of music. And some improvise and may invent another genre. It is not important if they please other people. What's far more important is they feel joy hearing there own genre or impress different kinds of feelings that would let there heart be risen.

[david880916]

can anyone recommend some more songs like this one?

its beautiful

[Shostakovicification]

check this piano solo, about three and a half minute in:

watch?v=H7Z-h-TSqzw&feature=re­­­­­­lated

[1BigRedDog4u]

After nearly 1500 comments: This still sounds great - nice job brother. I really enjoyed it.

[albertogambirasio]

I liked the chord melody which prepared for that song.

I signed up on your channel.

a hug from a friend of Brazil

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Tabs are for lazy guitarists. Like me. But I try not to use them and rely on them like most modern day guitar players.

[FPSpreston]

Beautiful playing and tone! Please... check out my cover of autumn leaves! I need some feedback.

[Elen1000]

Belissimo! 

[Grizlah12]

We all play guitar right? We all play different styles, right?

Who is the "guitar god" that said HOW to play is only one way? I use jazz in metal all the time, and who said you can't? I use metal in jazz, for all I care. It's just how the friggin song/ tune sounds, it's not a definite genre in guitar. Hell, pump up some classical on an electric with distortion, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference (unless you know the composers and their tendancies.) I'm just saying, play your guitar, man

[BlisherMG]

Very nice, love to listen it few times

[chokerjoker4]

People, people, people, music is subjective not objective there is no right nor wrong, if it sounds right to you, then its right for you. so just stop with all the arguing and just enjoy the music. It's a beautiful piece(again in my opinion ), just accept that not everyone is the same and will have an opinion, you will never win an argument on an internet page with some one you know and will never meet. all i know is that we all share a pasion for music so why not just try help each one another

[Psychonaut1992]

@chokerjoker4

Wow, it's so rare to see a rational, objective person on YT. I agree. Music is about rhythm, enjoying beats that provoke emotion. Music is about FEELS GOOD, MAN. So chill out.

[NewProdigy14]

@chokerjoker4 preach it man.

[chops279]

@chokerjoker4

Please, Please, Please,,, enlighten up some more!

[AuroraSunset]

Love the tonee

[orrigami]

this is beautiful, man. i'm going to be better than you someday. :)

[origami26]

nice, it's very relaxing

[craigbrandau]

Very nice!

[anthonym612]

You're a great talent, sir! Well done!!

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

the 118 people are people who want tabs. pfft, fuck tabs. USE YOUR EARS!

[MrPeranz]

118 people don't know jazz :(

[SagesScents]

If you don't mind... Could you please recommend a few jazz artists for me? I'm starting to LOVE jazz, and would like to hear different artists perfom it..

By the way, this solo is AMAZING. <3

[skipheaton]

@SagesScents Kenny Burrell, Martijn VanIterson, Robert Conti, Phillip Catherine, Jimmy Bruno, Pat Metheny, Ulf Wakenuis, WES MONTGOMERY, JOE PASS, Grant Green. These are all guitarists, and there are so many more.

[MitchRulzWorld]

@SagesScents Johnny A. Very cool and clean playing. Check him out.

[carlossalazar7]

@JosephCurteisFoxx haha maybe not to most people but i've made it happen, my life is a smooth romance film at times

[Charango123quena]

@JosephCurteisFoxx yes you are right , we can only dream ...

[Tobias99H]

@Charango123quena Dream and hope, my friend. Although it may seem unrealistic, it is possible. Deam and hope, and it may happen. You never know :)

[malthus101]

Lovely sound and lovely playing - I am starting out in jazz guitar - does anyone have an opinion on the Godin 5th Avenue archtop guitars? Thanks.

[KyosukeKagamiKun]

tu vieja ;)

[Charango123quena]

a nice glass of white , sunset over a beautiful beach, a perfect sea breeze, your loved one in your arms and this music... aaahhh

[unionfiddler]

This guy sounds AWESOME! He doesn't know it, but he has just earned his biggest fan!

[parisimusical]

Wonderful arrange! Bossa Nova is the perfect link with the wondrous Jazz!

Make me remember about Tom Jobim! Thanks!

un abraccio!

[SirBrianCabrera]

I <3 JAZZ!

i learned jazz just so i can kick the shit outa anyone i jam with!

[ThePjmoore]

well done beautifully played so mellow im in a trance listening

[fejeren81]

.. still using it as a ambience for the office :)

[frmertd]

i could do better. well maybe not

[glcn1503]

wonderfull ♥♥

[TeamFortressNoobspy]

HOW!!! can this get ANY Dislikes?!! D= man this reaches deep into ur inner complex =) great job

[TheReighnart]

Man I hope I can do stuff like this soon. Being able to walk around complex chords and playing lines in between like this is amazing. 

[dakza122579]

Your use of the word ironic is ironic.

Nice tune btw.

[y3k23k]

damn matt your the man

[theoriginalbensteele]

That tone is beatiful, I adore it. Wow, excellent work. Really sweet fingerstyle

[6285694932173]

you are my inspirator

[hamamihaa]

youre amazing man! truely amazing

[JazzNaySean]

you should of named this smooth jazz so i wouldnt click on it ;(

[ajrx59]

is that guitar different from an electric? If an electric was used for jazz would it have the same outcome when played? will it still have its beautiful soul effect or not?

[gabrielhuanosto]

how can ppl dislike this!??? im 16 but jazz has always been my dream genre to play on acoustic. I love playing jazz its sexy!!!! haha 117 screamo immature ppl just happened to come upon this and didnt hear disortion lol

[Jax0rthemaggot]

@gabrielhuanosto

don't group us all together like that mate, metal is my passion, and yes most of it is screamed not sung, but its mostly about the guitar and drums anyway. i love jazz as much as the next guy, so dont assume that every dislike is from someone with a background in heavier music just because you don't understand that particular genre. and to call us all immature in a comment like yours is downright ironic.

i'll paraphrase: people can like "screamo" AND jazz, don't be ignorant.

[Toxic63]

@Jax0rthemaggot agreed

[7heFallen]

@Jax0rthemaggot Good point dude , I love metal and jazz also . haha, and im only 15 .

[t3hn00bzor]

@Jax0rthemaggot Um actually metal (the good metal) is sang. Slayer, Anthrax, Motley Crue, Diamond Head (I consider them metal) and many others are sang not scramed. Also, metal is greatly influenced by Jazz. (IE: the scales, and the drum playing.

[PullaPatonki]

@t3hn00bzor most proper metal. Not some mainstream soft metal :)

[t3hn00bzor]

@PullaPatonki Why would I listen to Mainstream? That's not music it's just song. :P

[monkeys350]

@Jax0rthemaggot I highly doubt he was being serious but good argument I guess.

[TheIlja000]

@Jax0rthemaggot thanks a lot

[drumsticks10593]

@Jax0rthemaggot Real musicians appreciate ALL genres. And you my friend, are a real musician. :)

[jonsoncrack]

@Jax0rthemaggot i could not agree more. i was in a metal band throughout high school, i also performed jazz with some older guys i took lessons from. before that i played gospel, bluegrass, and country. i'm now in college studying classical guitar performance and plan on switching to jazz for the rest of my time in school. not all "metal heads" are a bunch of uneducated, untalented idiots. some of us actually have a passion for music. i'll also paraphrase: don't judge, observe, respect the music

[robin17171]

@Jax0rthemaggot I concur. I'm a Rock guy as well. But Jazz is were my heart is at.

[MorkaGraven]

@Jax0rthemaggot I listen to black metal and ambient music as seperate genres. As far as I'm aware they are at opposite ends of the "smooth spectrum". Hell, the two have even made contact and created quite possibly the harshest dream-like soundscape possible. I also listen to classical music, a genre that shares so much in common with metal. It confuses people when I mention that because they judge it by tone.

[Jax0rthemaggot]

@MorkaGraven

nailed it dude ;)

p.s how good is classical?!? >_<

[thephan1113]

@MorkaGraven it bothers me when people compare metal to classical. Sure, they both use the melodic minor scale frequently but rarely do you hear metal that incorporates the use of multiple types of modes that allow the music to travel. Metal is very technical and i appreciate it but it is very atonal compared to a classical peice

[MeeshaFeeneksh]

@Jax0rthemaggot I second this movement

[Blackoutwalkin]

@gabrielhuanosto Judge not, lest ye be judged my good man. Don't assume that people who like something out of context with jazz came here to hate. There was never anything wrong with an open-mind, so why assume with yours closed?

[VonMeeganshmoot]

Love that blues lick right around 3:53 seconds. Very very sexy.

[StandardSam1]

@VonMeeganshmoot VERY Joe Pass! :)

[rololoo]

Awesome playing man. Made me pick up my guitar and start playing myself too.

[kgm333]

Beautiful playing and a beautiful guitar too - excellent!

I think leaning jazz guitar is going to be a bit of a challenge for me after watching you!

[frmertd]

excellent , it kind of reminds me of my favorite fingerstyle player, pierre bensusan. But you have real FEEL when you play. real feel. you know, people's style evolves over the years. Don't lose that Feel!!!! you really do it well. !!

[profeso07]

5 *****

[ducky20449]

nice attic

[archymtln]

who dislikes this ? 117 dislikes ? are you serious ? Anyways... thanks for the music, this my friend is pure golden crate digging

[cjoey39]

One of the most exquisite solo's ever played! I can't say enough about how I enjoyed this! So all I'll say is thanks! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[Blackoutwalkin]

O_o.......Wow

[sharrer2]

I play guitar, and I've always wanted to play Jazz... But I never knew where to start. D: Help anyone? I gots tha soul. Just not the feel...

[tunaflaps]

@sharrer2 with jazz you just sort of feek where the music is going and play with your intuition

[dinges]

Hitting the right note is hard enough..hitting the right note with this kind of frasing and feeling is mastery =) You sir, are the real deal.

[Kramnosnits]

Beautiful playing - beautiful guitar.... the rest of you commenters are phlegmatically idiotic.

[maganz]

doodovf is right!

Check out this video on the possibly greatest guitar player of all time, Wes Montgomery. watch?v=BLsoz58946k

I don't know what he had but it was not theory. One thing he had was exceptional ears as you can see if you find the "Legends of Jazz Guitar" about him.

Another thing is that jazz did not grow out of theory.

[Inidiom]

that "soul" everyone speaks about that you need to play the guitar like "a god" is overestimated, I think that "soul" grows with time, hard work and A LOT of theory, of course there are very few exceptions

[jawsrock1]

I've never heard of this guitar before. It's both very beautiful sounding and looking. You did a wonderful job making it sing. Just out of curiosity, what type of amp are you using?

[davsim3]

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

[MegaDreamer1960]

Thanks Matt Otten, I will say it in a few words... This is a matter of sensibility and you have it all...

[LapRound]

wow... someone please help. for jazz solo, do you use the typical blues scale for impro???? im pretty sure that its not, but please tell me what the name of the jazz scale is? so i can find it on TABS :P

i love jazz, and i rock at blues impro. but this is just something else. something beyond heaven.

[MrAlfredocolon]

@LapRound you use every scale. you can use the blues scale, all your modes, major and minor and even pentatonic if you feel like it. it really depends on the chords your playing over.

[LapRound]

@MrAlfredocolon thanks =)

i'll try improvising to some jazz now.... =)

[thediem667]

@LapRound TABS? you wanna play jazz and you're talking about TABS? if you wanna play jazz, you gotta know your theory, do you have any idea how many key changes there can be on a jazz piece? if you learn the scale (wich the commonly used one is any Melodic Minor scale btw) by tabs, and you don't know where to play it at what time, it doesn't matter if you master the scale, you'll sound like crap, on the other hand, know your theory and you'll sound awesome, always, any style, any song

[LapRound]

@thediem667 oh well... i think you're right cause i cant improvise to any jazz song yet :/ and my theory sucks... REALLY!

[LapRound]

@thediem667 i really dunno what to do :/ i suck at theory and i cant just learn it through tabs... all i've done the past 3 years has been improvising to blues. never had lessons in theory :/

[doodovf]

@thediem667 "know your theory and you'll sound awesome, always, any style, any song" This is sooo false...Then it would be too easy. Anyone can learn theory, it takes someone with a truly musical heart to really touch the soul of another human through music. It takes talent to express emotion through sound. Especially in Jazz man it takes heart & soul....
