Great touch

In learning did you take the "learn all the modes and theory" approach....or did you just play as many songs as possible and fill in the gaps later approach?? In other words are you schooled or self taught? Either way this is a great sound i am jealous!!

[pauldil]

Thanks a lot! It's really been a combination of both - I've studied theory and learned lots of tunes. To me, learning tunes was the more beneficial of the two.

[AmundLauritzen]

Beautiful playing!

What kind of guitar and amp is that? The tone is unbelievable!

[pauldil]

Thank a lot, Amund.  That's an Ibanez George Benson Model GB10. I'm going direct into my soundcard via a POD 2.0

Waltzing Leaves, wow, great stuff! I'm not sure but it seems to me that the original chanson "Les feuilles mortes" was in 3/4. Could it be? Anyway: Great job, Paul!

Awesome stuff, pauldil! I'm getting kinda envious of you jazz guys! .. A fabulous rendition of a great tune... right hand duly noted.. think I might do some practise!

from all the versions on youtube yours is defenitly one of best. how long have you been playing?

[pauldil]

Thank you very much! I started taking lessons when I was about 9 and got more serious about it when I was around 16. I totally stopped playing for many years and started playing again in 1999.

Paul

[Chordwayze]

Do my ears decieve me, or is this done at 'Jazz Waltz' tempo Paul. Very tasty playing and some great lines. Superb stuff.

John

[pauldil]

Your ears are correct, John. I did it as a waltz. Glad you liked it. Thanks!

Hi Paul ,something I forgot what I liked alot in the harmonisation part is first harmonising a D note over quite some changes afterwards a B note that's a nice idea man,real cool,this breaking the single string lines for a moment,greets Vic.

[pauldil]

Thanks again Victor! I sent you some material on common tones that I've worked on.

Regards,

Paul

[Jazzguts]

Hi Paul,great playing in 3/4 and how do you stretch your pinky that Far,do you practice Yoga with your pinky? Just kidding. Very Musical nice lines and great warm guitar sound, liked your other tunes on My Space, you're some player man,like it to the bone,Vic.

[pauldil]

Thanks Victor! And thanks for your remarks about my other tunes. I really enjoy playing in 3. My pinky really didn't stretch that far...you'll notice I'm at the higher end of the neck when I do that 8^)

Regards,

Paul

[localpm]

Your Welsh friend

[Stevepat1]

Really nice Paul, your phrasing is awesome and I love the quote from Baubles, Bangles and Beads. Outstanding!

Steve

[pauldil]

Thank you Steve! That quote just kind of occurred to me on the spot. Had to be the time signature 8-)

Thanks,

Paul

[DieselBodine]

Ultra-cool, Paul. I like that 3/4 feel and I definitely hear some more Wes chops in your playing. Man, some of you cats on here sure kick my ass with your Guitar skills... you're one of them, that's for sure!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
