[SWORD678912]

I'm wondering who dislike this one. Anyway it's really good ! Have a good day Freddy :)

[freddym223]

thx SWORD678912 ! if i had 1 likes. 36 dislikes, then i might feel hurt . i really don't let  1 or 2 mean spirited people bother me. there's too many nice people on youtube . :-)

[taildragger53]

@freddym223 This is a beautiful version. In my time i've seen some of the greatest players including Wes & Tal. Nice richly textured chords..remind me of Barney Kessel's when he backed Billie Holiday on this tune. Criticism means nothing...the way i see it,even Wes Montgomery was criticised.

Best wishes to you!

[freddym223]

@taildragger53 thanks for commenting ! criticism doesn't bother me much .anyway , most people have been very nice to me :-)

[taildragger53]

@freddym223 During the 70s htru to the 90s, I wasted too much time with the noisy,pentatonic ramblings associated with Blues/Rock. Far too predictable , i've settled back to re-learn some melodic playing and i've dug out my Wes, Django & George Barnes LP's.. You're videos are inspirational.

I wish you much success and joy!

[freddym223]

@taildragger53 thank you for commenting ! glad to hear your getting into melodic playing and digging out those old recordings ! have fun !

[taildragger53]

@freddym223 God Bless you my friend for the inspiration you give to us.

[voldpilot]

Freddy you are a genius, Darn that Dream has always been a great favorite, but I never really heard anyone play it like it should be played - until now ! keep posting your great talent Freddy.

[freddym223]

thankyou so much voldpilot !

[guitargod6997]

Ciao, Freddy! Magnificent interpretation, as always. I've just recently learned this Jimmy van Heusen song. Love his melodies and harmonic concepts. You nail this song. I think one of your great strengths is your excellent voice leading.

I know you just create these arrangements by ear from the melodies, but before you play them for the video, do you sketch out the chord charts? Or do you just have a vast memory?

[freddym223]

thanks guitargod! i stay away from chord charts.i just mess with a melody for a few minutes and see what happens

[freddym223]

oh,i do know the melody to many tunes by memory,from playing nite clubs so many years

[captaindomingo]

Hi Freddy , 5 ***** on this ...very happy new year.

Ciao Diego

[freddym223]

Thanks for another great video. Your playing is very smooth and tasteful. Good camera angle. Helps those of us who are less talented steal your licks, oops, I mean appreciate your technique!

[freddym223]

how dare you steal my licks that i probably stole from somebody else.LOL

[Jazzguts]

Fred,I,ve subscribed to your Vids Man,the whole remaking is a wise idea making the Sound really stand out,a beautifull arrangement,greets Vic.

[DieselBodine]

After hearing you do this... I'm giving up the guitar. Wonderful execution!
