Victor plays "So What" (M.Davis)

[Alpha7xxx]

Making melodies out of triads is like making love to a beautiful woman without having to pay for it.

[Jazzguts]

@Alpha7xxx I have paid by studying and internalizing them, nothing is for free in this world brother,everybody has to pay his dues. But I loved your comparison,greets Vic.

[Alpha7xxx]

Amazing. Im going to practice this with my Jamey Abersold backing track.

[bruce68]

great job!! coolest swing!!



[topjob26]

You're great! im inspired :D

[Jazzguts]

@topjob26 Gladly done, thanks Vic.

[Ricardo05033]

Great again und again

Tocas muy bien querido Victor, eres una inspiracion.

Du bist echt gut man...sehr gut..

[Jazzguts]

@Ricardo05033 Muchas gracias Amigo,from the Heart,saludos Vic.

[matti2906]

I really like how you use triads in the scales.

Keep up the good work!

[Jazzguts]

@matti2906 Right on,you're hearing it man,triads are very important I think,greets Vic.

[bluejazzNick]

Great performance! I would like to ask though which scales you 're using for your solo?

[Jazzguts]

@bluejazzNick Thanks mainly, D Dorian and Eb Dorian, also some triads within those scales,Vic.

[slyme1711]

outstanding good taste

[Jazzguts]

@slyme1711 Thank you for the encouraging words.

[imakery]

you could have swung a little harder on the eighth note lines in the head but you are a monster.

[Jazzguts]

@imakery Thanks glad you enjoyed,Vic.

[sega62s]

Hi,

I've noticed you play different guitars, i've been looking for a affordable archtop or semi-hollow that is a keeper.

Epiphones, Ibanez, guilds.....can you tell me what's you opinion on this matter please?

Thanks

[Jazzguts]

@sega62s Hi, what I use are an Epiphone Rivera (still available) and Ibanez GB20=out of production,GB10 available, further I think Ibanez Joe Pass and Lee Ritenouer models are good. I also love Gibsons L5 and 335 models (expensive).Vic.

[kuni45]

Unreal soloing! It literally took less then an eighth of the video to make me wanna sub

[Jazzguts]

@kuni45 Thanks that's a good sign, hope you enjoy and learn from my material,Vic.

[cetumismocetumismo]

Hello! that great performance!

I have an audition next week to go to college and I was wondering if you could pass me this song track for submission to the jury.

Thanks!

(Excuse my English, I speak Spanish)

[Jazzguts]

@cetumismocetumismo Thanks, I'm sorry this track is made in Band in a box and these type tracks cannot be diverted to Mp3,saludos Vic.

[dle777]

thanks very much for the ideas. conitnued success and happiness!

[Jazzguts]

@dle777 Thanks the same to you,greetings Vic.

[dle777]

you are the best!!!. So melodic and free. seems like a bunch of Dorain stuff, but i was wondering if you could describe your thought process on this,a nd how one might learn from it

love the segue to octaves

[Jazzguts]

@dle777 Thanks, well it's very hard to recall what I played (improvised ) 2 years ago but I do hear many triads within the Dorian tonality also 7th chord arpeggios, sometimes I play Fmaj7 and Cmaj7 arpeggios over Dm7. Something that caught my ear was playing E minor pentatonic over the Dm7 getting all upper partials of the chord. E(9) G(4) A(5) B(6) D(root).These ideas you can transpose to Ebm7. Vic.

[davtones]

awesome octave soloing!

[Jazzguts]

@davtones Thank you always doing my best,Vic.

[kop4]

very nice soloing, I love playing along to that song

[Jazzguts]

@kop4 Oh yes 2 chords but there's so much hidden in there, complexity within simplicity that's the question.

[redskin133]

do you have a web page with the notation of this? it's kind of cool

[Jazzguts]

@redskin133 You can find this in many fakebooks on Jazz but do visit my Site there's much info there, under every Vid you'll find my WebSite.

[ericream2000]

awesome!

[vhobass]

hermoso........

[muzzajg]

Nice !!!....

[TravellerInTime1987]

Hey, I really like your sound, smooth, straight and relaxing. I would like it if you tried to play nuages by Django Reinhardt! (Sorry if my English is not so good)

[Jazzguts]

@TravellerInTime1987 Thanks a lot, All Django did was good,Vic.

[TravellerInTime1987]

@Jazzguts Hey there, I just saw I made almost the same comment on afternoon In Paris! Nevermind, I just didn't notice that I had to wait for the approval :P

[Jazzguts]

@TravellerInTime1987 That's OK the main thing is your enthusiasm, we need a lot of that,Vic.

[TravellerInTime1987]

@Jazzguts Right, I have to say I'm a saxophone player for 10 years, but I had to wait a long time till I felt more comfortable with the instrument. Right now I can't play anything that sounds like jazz, but recently I began to study hard like you advise and listen more carefully

[Jazzguts]

@TravellerInTime1987 You have to play what IS Jazz not what sounds like it, you have to BE Jazz. Keep on studying and you'll BE it.Vic.

[ClappingSnakes]

Man that was amazing. Great job, i really liked the octave stuff. Did you figure this out by ear or do you have the charts?

[Jazzguts]

@ClappingSnakes Thank you, I'm a Jazz musician, I have an improvising-attitude. I know my theory and how to apply it creatively in diverse musical situations. Greetings Vic.

[berot131]

BRAVO ET MCI DE ME DIRE OU TU TROUVES LES BANDES SON D ACCOMPAGNEMENT SANS LA MELODIE MCI roberto26@free.fr

[Jazzguts]

@berot131 Hi, I use band in a box program,check it out on Internet, it's a good investment and you can make your own background tracks,greetings Vic.

[N2itv2]

You Go Guy! Doing the thing! Guts and respect for "the real deal"!

[Jazzguts]

@N2itv2 Thanks a lot Brother it ain't easy in a Plastic world but some-one has to stay true to his Musical belief,Amen,Vic.

[TheNevron33]

beautiful tension on 2:40. Good job, guts of Jazz

[Jazzguts]

@TheNevron33 Thanks,the Music off Miles will be around for quite some years to come,certainly no"throw-away" Stuff,cheers Vic.

[AnerStroz94]

amazing!

miles is one of my favorite jazz artists,and "so what" is a really amazing peice,i love playing it on the Bass,and i think u did an amazing job with it.

btw,what guitar is that? sounds great!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks AnerStroz94, it's a modal Jazz piece, a form which Miles have experimented with a lot. It certainly is another concept than all those tunes crammed full of chords,also nice but this is another story all together, cheers Vic.

[AnerStroz94]

haha i know what's modal jazz peice is,don't let my age mistaken you(soory about my english)

actually i'm mainly a pianist,also i'm learning music theory and solfeggio..it's a really diffrent thing playing music,and UNDERSTANDING music..anyway i got a little off subject here,anyway,subscribed! 5/5,you're really great!

[fusoperso]

Great

[Jazzguts]

@fusoperso Thanks,Vic.

[mr12note]

totally agree Miles kept-up with what was

going with music until his death

sample his last album DooWop

early HipHop except Miles style awesome

[mr12note]

I really enjoyed this Vic

Miles Davis always gave us something

to think & say its so wonderful

Hot foot tapping tune....

Cheers

[Jazzguts]

@mr12note Certainly true, Miles has been a free-thinker his whole life and made all judgements for himself,a philosophy I adore,greets Vic.

[FKL]

Hi Vic,

You have to explain us these new modal concepts in your future lessons ;-)

Txs,

Frederik

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Frederik, I might do a Video on Modal playing, thanks for the suggestion,greets Vic.

[jp0pz]

nice feel like your backing track too

[Jazzguts]

@jp0pz thanks you're welcome,greets Vic.

[makaritoblues2]

You just make me want to play more jazz its great, even do i dont know a lot, i like thelonious monk, epistrophy! what a monkster, its true you have great taste, hope someday i can play like that. great work, ask the axis...he knows...

[Jazzguts]

@makaritoblues2 thanks Monk was a great creative individual,what I like about jazz is the freedom of expression (also in Blues) ,really being in the moment opposed to life everyone has to lead in society,every minute planned,Vic.

[Metalisforus]

Great job dude !!! nice version i just think at the beggining is a little bit slower ... Miles Davis Rules

[Jazzguts]

@Metalisforus thank you, I don't know what you mean with beginning slower,this is a fixed tempo played by prof musicians,Vic.

[1996markopolo]

agreed

[luismyguitar]

Hey man, great sound. improvising over modal songs seems to me more difficult than others, even though there are fewer chord changes... Anyway, good job

[Jazzguts]

@luismyguitar thanks it's a good thing you mention that,with fewer chords you're free to add many soloing concepts,different than a tune cluttered with chords which you have to follow, but I like both ways,Vic.

[bjazzer795]

DIG. Jamey Aebersold? haha. I like it alot!!!

[Jazzguts]

@ bjazzer795, thanks,Jamey Aebersold the best rhythm tracks around and I love playing to them, good 2010,Vic.

[qzth]

Great video, can I ask you what scales did you use? Thanks!

[Jazzguts]

qzth,thanks maily D dorian and Eb dorian,greets Vic.

[Chrisguy42O]

smooth

[manugizeh]

This is amazing man. I've been watching some of your videos, and I must say that you have done a great work =)

Have you ever listened to Grant Green? He has a completely different style, more funky, you might enjoy listening to his music.

Keep up the good work!!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Manugizeh, for your supportive comment, of course I know Grant Green (great guitarist) I've listened to him a great deal,very Bluesy and Funky indeed. There was a period I was listening to all influential Jazz players, Herb Ellis,Joe Pass, Joe Diorio,Wes and love Miles ofcourse, guess I learned something from all those guys, Vic.

[TalbotPhotography]

Beautiful guitar work on one of my favorite tunes

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Talbot,one of mine to,I love Mile's concepts of composition and improvisation, greets Vic.

[axiluss]

you wrote that you changed your pickups for some sd's, what specifically? '57 classic, seth lover, something else? i really dig that tone (not mentioning the playing itself :)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Axilus, that's it basically what you mentioned, except the fact that I have a strat single coil in the middle for the thin funky sound,here I mainly use the humbuckers for the warm Jazz-tone, greets Vic.

[axiluss]

but my question is - can you tell me what pickups precisely do you use? or is this information classified? :) asking because i will need to change pickups in my guitar as well, bought me a cheap es-335 copy with good acoustic sound, but worse amplified sound.

[Jazzguts]

axiluss,I use two Seymour Duncan"Seth Lover" (humbuckers and 1 Alnico pro 2 (single coil) for your information, not cheap but great pick-ups. Greets Vic.

[axiluss]

thanks :)

[brynttr]

Wow, Vic, beautiful tone out of that Epiphone, everything you play is so tasty. I wish you were my neighbor then I could come over all the time .

[Jazzguts]

Thanks brynttr, if you where my neighbor you'd be welcome, I'd give you some Jazz lessons,greets Vic.

[alfiottotto]

compliments not easy improv so good on this song

[Jazzguts]

Thanks alfiottotto, glad you enjoyed my impro on this Song,all the best,Vic.

[lespaularg]

perfect !

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Lespaul, it's an Epiphone Rivera,but all the pick-ups have been changed to seymour Duncans,Vic.

[lespaularg]

nice guitar .. what is ??

[alvinlee988]

(I POSTED THIS SECOND POST suddenly after the first, but something did not work, so I re-write)Do you have any suggestion about books or sites useful to learn the basics of jazz playing, something "organized" I mean. At the moment I'm only using pentatonic scales modified in some parts by my earing, but I need some theory. Thanks and again wonderful playing.

[Jazzguts]

Sure, I used (and sometime still as reference) Jazzguitar lines by Mel Bay(Mel Bay publications,pacific,mo.,63069­) but I also enjoyed studying out of the Arnie Berle(Jazz improvisation book for guitar) I think you still order those somewhere,greets Vic.

[jazzadellic]

I have suggestions for you, look up books by Jim Ferguson, they use TAB, notation, and CD recording. If you can read standard notation, then also try and get your hands on the jazz soloing books by Ted Greene, they are out of print but can still be found online. Websites are good for free information, but are often sources of inaccurate information and poorly organized information, because anyone with web access can make a website, where as books tend to be made by pros.

[Jazzguts]

Jazzadelic, long before the Internet period I've been gathering Jazz info in book form, Books of Mel Bay, Joe Pass, Ted Green, Charles Green(trumpet) Wim Overgaauw, I agree with your vision. Most important is not only gathering(hamstering) Info but internalizing all this to memory and fingers this is where the actual wood-shedding begins. Real Jazz is played from inside-out in the moment,that's what I do,greets Vic.

[alvinlee988]

Hi Victor I really enjoyed your playing and "taste". I really thank you because I'm a guitarist with a past of rock-blues, maybe funky, who is now trying to approach jazz and modal playing, so "so what" is one of the song i'm using now to learn this kind of playing. Your video gave me great ideas and a view of the possibility offered by a simple dorian mode on a song of only two chords. Really good work, I'll put on my favourite.

[Jazzguts]

Indeed a good choice to make the switch (with all respect), if you annalyze all the arpeggio's that are situated within that scale you'll be surprised,Miles was very intelligent and had a philosophy, I believe it was: I'll interpret freely: within the simple lies all the complex,it's a matter of choice,Vic.

[HandyBendyGandhi]

Quality :)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Handy, that's what I try to achieve, you're welcome,Vic,

[sashaafm]

Incredible =) I'm not really into Miles Davis playing. Don't really like the sound of the trumpet, but he did write some good songs like this one.

Vic, do you think this is a good song for a beginner to learn? I've been learning Footprints, it's easy. However, I've been only improvising with the minor pentatonic scale.The next step is to learn to use the major scale and it's modes and mix it all together.

Continue doing what you do best =)

[Jazzguts]

Hi sashaafm, you bet Miles wrote some great tunes, this is a good one to learn the dorian mode (2 of major) so it will spell: Dm dorian and Ebm Dorian basically for this tune, success, Vic.

[t3hgir]

Where did you get the backing track?

[Jazzguts]

I thought the meaning of this playing for each other is about actually commenting about the Music????? Vic.

[t3hgir]

haha, well i was watching a few of your other videos and you're a great guitarist. Im just wondering about the backing track because i play guitar as well and can't find many Miles backing tracks.

[Jazzguts]

Hi t3hgir, these tracks are from Jamey Aebersold play along CD's ,there are Sites where you can purchase backing tracks per number or go to the Jamey Site where you can order CD's greets Vic.

[motherloveisnomore]

excellent job, excellent...I enjoyed it very much...Miles Davis is the best in this style i think...

[Jazzguts]

Thanks motherlove... oh yes I agree, Miles saw many possibilities and also made them reality in Music, a great Spirit,Vic.

[EggTheBox]

You're so great..Relaxed, elegant and precision play. My compliment Vic, you're so an inspiration. Thanks

[Jazzguts]

Thanks EggTheBox, I love Jazz and Blues,finger-style acoustic work also, over the years I've developed a sound that is "me", what I hear in my mind,thanks for listening and the great comment,Vic.

[bjazzer795]

nice... the modal improv sounds great 5*****

[Jazzguts]

bjazzrer,thanks much appreciated,greets Vic.

[LonelyWaters]

Great playing, Vic. This is not that easy, but you made it look easy! Great version, of Miles´tune. 2:07 - 2:10 very nice!

Best regards, Frank

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Frank,the guys that can play know the depth of this music,greets Vic.

[LordMongoose13]

thanks again for the info and vid friend. i appreciate it

[LordMongoose13]

Hey great playing I actually enjoyed it very much. Thanks. I do have a small inquiry about your tone. Maybe I have overlooked it on your page but I was just wondering what amp are you playing and what are your settings for the treb. bass. mid and reverb? thanks so much

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Lord... here I went straight into my 4 channel mixer just lifted the bass a little, the treble and mid are flat, glad you enjoyed,Vic.

[ManwithAx]

Five Stars Vic. I love this tune and you played it well. Very interesting.

- Lou

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Lou,enjoy yourself on my channel,all the best Vic.

[squirrel696969]

Hey Vic, I was just wondering wether your using the lydian chromatic concept of tonal organization in this song? And if so which scales are you using? Such as lydian augmented, lydian flat 7 and so on. And what other techniques are you using? Such as side stepping.

Much thanks

Daniel :)

[Jazzguts]

Hi Daniel, basically Dm (dorian) and Ebm (Dorian), what I use here instead of D-dorian is E minor pentatonic ,sounding further away from the chord and instead of Eb-dorian F minor penta(this is the same concept only placed a half tone higher). what I also use instead of D-Dorian is D melodic minor(same as Dorian only with raised 7= C#) The C# gives a nice color that's asking to be resolved. I'm not familiar with the term side stepping,what does it mean? Greets Vic.

[squirrel696969]

Hi Vic, its called harmonic side stepping and say everyone is playing in D dorian, the soloist can go a semi-tone up or a semi-tone down ( C# dorian or D# dorian) briefly to create some tension, very similar to playing outside the chord.

I love the pentatonic idea, very nice :D. I have never even dreamed of using melodic minor instead of dorian! When you play the #7 of the D melodic minor would you be playing that on the down beat or the up beat?...

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Daniel, thanks for explanation, as you hear I also play a great deal of triads and 7th-chord arpeggios that are within the Dorian tonality these also greatly add to the color of ones solo, Right now I'm trying to also apply all triads and 7th-chords that are within the Melodic minor mode (very interesting). I have no fixed rules for applying the C# note,mostly as a tension passing note. I like the Idea very much using 3 optional penta-modes (Am Dm Em) against Dmi, all quite different,Vic.

[squirrel696969]

...By the way, your tone and technique are great! I love listening to you play :)

Much thanks

Daniel

[jimmyblackjazz]

That was quite some solo, especially liked the octave runs. Great stuff, as always.

Regards

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Jimmy this is a relatively simple theme from "Miles" great for jamming and getting your Dorian chops together, thanks for great comment,Vic.

[williedb47]

Great video. Nadine

[Jazzguts]

Great you enjoyed<Nadine.greets Vic.

[jimmyblackjazz]

Lovely stuff, only found you on Youtube yesterday evening. Inspiration stuff indeed.

Do you use Band in a Box for the backings?

[Jazzguts]

Hi Jimmy, Jamey Aebersold play alongs and B.I.B. (new improved version) greets Vic.

[yes0genesis]

Hey Vic. Great video, love the jazz. I have a question for you though, or any seasoned jazz guitarist who may come across this. I am a guitar player myself (mostly rock and blues) who has been listening to jazz for a while now and have bought a couple of jazz guitar books, worked through them a bit, but just couldn't get that swingin' jazzy improv sound. Do you have any advice for me or could direct me to a great learning resource you know of? Much appreciated!

[Jazzguts]

Hi yesOgenesis,learn your theory, scales,arpeggios, diverse concepts, playing scales in all possible intervals, but also listen to records and jam along ,steel some licks here and there change them a little make them your own and actually use them in your playing, books and Info is lying in the Street in my days that wasn't so,just a bash of jazz records,greets Vic.

[yes0genesis]

Thanks Vic. The problem with me is that while I am familiar with my theory, scales, modes etc I am not very good at applying it to jazz playing. Never really quite sure which "outside" notes to bring into the equation while playing to make the jazz happen as I am a very diatonic player.

[Jazzguts]

Hi yesOgenesis, did you check out my lessons on Jazz,they're in a playing list on my profile, you might find some useful info in there, there will be more in the future,greetings Vic.

[jazzyedwin24]

I love this song you sound great, it has that jazzy sound that I love so much. I enjoyed so much this video.Excelent!!!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Edwin, Miles has and always will stay of great importance for my jazz playing, always been inspired by his recordings and way of playing,greetings Vic.

[bluesbren]

Correction - I thought you might NOT be using the cameras own mic and going into a mixer first as the sound is very good - hope that makes sense now!

[Jazzguts]

Hi Blues... before I started doing vids I experimented for a while and compared many working methods, I record everything through a small mixer (Spirit-notepad) where all signals from backingtrack and guitar are(stereo) mixid before going to the audio-port of my Mac PC. This for optimal sound quality,greets Vic.

[bluesbren]

Hi JG - thanks for getting back again - sorry for the confusion. I assumed your sound wasn't just the cheap internal mic or something! You can hear that it is DI'd, this does give the best sound it would seem...

[bluesbren]

Hi JG, Bluesbren here - finally trying to get around to uploading some videos (only have a few up so far) and I love the sound quality you're getting - what are you using to sync up the video and audio?

[Jazzguts]

Hi Bluesbren, I don't sync anything , the Audio and Video is done simultaneously I love working that way,that's Jazz,what you play is what you get. I use the built in Camara of my Mac-osx and I make the Movies in Imovie,greets Vic.

[bluesbren]

Sure - sorry, I don't think I explained well! I realised that you record both simultaneously, it's just that I thought you might be using the camera's own mic (which is normally not good) - now I know you record straight into iMovie. Keep up the excellent work, love your playing....

[carlos13190]

yeah, je ne regrette pas de t'avoir decouvert

la grande classe

j'ai trouve mon professeur, il sevit sur internet et s'appelle VICTOR

5++++++

[Jazzguts]

Mercy beaucoup mon Ami, I know exactly what you're saying, I'm answering in English my french is very poor,hope you understand me, keep on playing and studying mon Ami,Salut Vic. (Thanks for friends invitation).

[gent30x]

Oh I was so focused on your playing. I didn't realize rating was disabled. Anyway. It's fantastic. Love it. Really amazing.

[Jazzguts]

Hi gent30x glad you digged my version of this fine Standard, it's a simple motive but therefor many many possibilities lie open for improvisation and that's my bag man,greetings Vic.

[gent30x]

It's Fantastic. Fantastic... I am too paralysed and stunned to give rating. -smiles. Really awesome. Way To Go, 5 stars.

[guitarcolossus]

Nice job. Do you play any post bop?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks colossus, what do you categorize under post-bop?, like this isn't Bop,this is modal Jazz, I like mainstream Jazz as well,Greets Vic.

[bluesbren]

Terrific version! You can tell you're enjoying playing this! Love this tune..

Used to play the Ronny Jordan version live a few years ago and the main riff at that tempo is damn hard!!

The swing feel is more true to the original, which I really prefer..

[Jazzguts]

Thank you bluesbren, glad you enjoyed,I agree I like the swing version more,however I have played a funk version now and then,greets Vic.

[sjazohn]

ik zie aan uw houding de emoties die u heeft tijdens het spelen.

geweldig, daar draait muziek echt om.

[Jazzguts]

Dank je sjazohn, ja heel belangrijk het gevoel, er moet van binnen wat gebeuren,elke keer maak je een reis vol verassingen dat is improvisatie en Jazz,groetjes Vic.

[zappasfacialhair]

hey victor,

I really like your tone and you have some nice licks and good phrasing. Maybe try going outside the key a bit--adding some tension/dissonance to tell more of a story.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Zappa I'll keep that in mind man,greets Vic.

[scifi1996]

the guitar sounds like a piano when u play chords but you are REALLY good! Oh, wait theres piano in the background, sorry! You ROCK!

[Jazzguts]

Hi sciffi96, yeah I'm strictly playing melody (improvisation) and the piano is doing the comping with background chords,I play octave solo here too, Greets Vic.

[scifi1996]

that's great

[heruilin]

So fine, sweet and very tasty ..

[Jazzguts]

Thanks heruilin, glad you liked it,greets Vic.

[Jackman951]

where did you get that backing track

[Jazzguts]

Hi Jackman951, I always thought playing on YT was about commenting on the Music not the wrapping, anyway, it's from a play along I borrowed from my brother called: "The Magic of Miles Davis". You can purchase these CD's at Jamey Aebersold's Site. Vic.

[zabman23]

seriously immense guitar playing and knowing when to let go. 5 *

[Jazzguts]

Thanks zabman23, good comment, it's all about balance, walkin the thin Rope called Music, just uploaded "Blue in Green" you might enjoy that great ballad from Miles,Vic.

[pamirs94]

good job

is that a 335?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks pamirs94 it,s a 335 model from Epiphone Rivera(the poor man's Gibson,lol) Greets Vic.

[pamirs94]

wow! that epi sounds greaaaaat! could it be about settings? what amp and what string gauge do you use? thanks for the info. i love your playing, keep on!

[Jazzguts]

Hi pamirs94, thanks, here I'm going straight into a small 4 channel mixer,with a little low eq added, the output from the mixer goes straight to the audio port of my PC, check my newest Vid: All the Black&White things(no reverb added) tell me what you think,Greets Vic.

[floaty10]

SCORCHING!

[dziepiejazz]

Very nice Vic, i hear a lot of Wes in your playing

[Jazzguts]

Thanks dziepiejazz, well there was a time I really listened to him a lot,I liked his natural flow of playing , very solid timing , inventiveness and ofcourse the octaves,greets Vic.

[Tazzlyn]

Phenomenal. I love the tone, along with your EXCELLENT note selection.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Tazzlyn, see you have good ears for improvised Music, I'm in love with the Miles concept(Modal Jazz).Greets Vic.

[xdazednconfusdx]

1:20 is awesome what is that?

[intoapocalypse]

Very nice! I like also the non-showing-off way you play.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Intoapocalypse, good thing you mentioned that, when I play I don't think of my Ego but the Music I'm playing and respect I have for the composer and what I can add by improvising, the first thing is to get rid of the Ego,then the true "me" will show in all integrity (zen)Greets Vic.
