[Adil888]

Fred long time no videos from you. It has been a while that i left LA but your improvisational reminds me of good days in US when i was sitting on a couch at the balcony on a rainy day 3 am in a morning with a cigarette whiskys laptop and your music in my ears. Thanks for good memories my friend i hope i will have a chance to meet you in person. Wish you luck and very best.

[amber123446]

@freddym223 You surprised me. Do you speak spanish?, that was nice!!

[freddym223]

@amber123446 for about 6 months i spent many hours every day studying spanish till i realized i didn't know anybody to talk to. so i went back to studying ajedrez .LOL ! it seems i always have to be studying something :-(

[amber123446]

@freddym223 You know buena mujer now so I could be a good spanish teacher.LOL and sorry darling but I dont like ajedrez.:-( :-( 

[freddym223]

@amber123446 losiento mi amiga. pero ajedrez es muy divertido ! :-)

[amber123446]

@freddym223 my friend for me chess is so boring, (muy aburrido), but interesting, I rather go shopping:-) :-)

[thenatureway]

that was great work:)

[freddym223]

@thenatureway  thank you very much !

[StoweTexas]

excellent.....

[Harky1951]

What a lively and catchy tune Freddy. I've not heard it before so thanks for picking this one. It never ceases to amaze me as I watch your fingers fly over those frets as if it takes no effort at all. It's like you are on automatic pilot. Crazy enjoyability .... if that's a word......Love you bunches.....Pamela

[freddym223]

@Harky1951 thx Pam ! the secret is drink lots of beer or wine when you play. LOL!

[Harky1951]

@freddym223 That's too funny because I tried to have some coffee one night and Tom said it had to be wine!!!

[useryug]

Class from the Maestro as always... I'll pick up some of those licks one day, Freddy, you'll see! - Sorry I'm late... cooling down here now, though I say it's still summer.. it's a good one this year.

[freddym223]

[MaxTooney]

Glad to see that you quit "chess in the park" long enough to post another video. (About time..lol) Keep up the great work, Freddy!

[freddym223]

thx MaxTooney ! it's cooling down here so i'm ready to start pickin again . :-)

[carvetop01]

Great recording Freddy. You captured some very sweet sounds. I like the way you seperated the guitar from the backing track. Great improv as usual. Another clinic in pure class!

allen

[freddym223]

@carvetop01  thx Allen ! i'm trying to figure out why it's coming out in stereo

[guitarPD1]

47 years, wow! And we still look the same--except my nose is growing. Di

[freddym223]

[phillynotebook]

[freddym223]

@phillynotebook  thx for dropping by !

[Jazzguts]

Beautiful playing Freddie, a very strong solo here and a great theme melody. love how you throw in the chords in between, nice Fender Rhodes sound in the accompaniment. I can hear some great bebop lines in there, I can hear you've done your share of listening in your life,and you still do, greetings Vic.

[freddym223]

@Jazzguts thx Vic ! when i was a teenager i went to sleep every night with a 24 hour jazz station going all night long while i slept .

[Arriscraft]

still going strong, nice playing man ! 

[freddym223]

@Arriscraft thx man ! i don't know about strong , but i'm still going ! LOL !

[JazzEthics]

The "Master" strikes again! Fabulous Freddy! got a nice echo going on that Roland Cube I see!  Loved it! Any chance you and the missus will post again? I always enjoyed your duets..She has the best bass peddle playing feet your side of the Mississippi ;^)

[freddym223]

@JazzEthics thx Lar ! marlene quit playing a couple years ago . :-( .we put the pedals in the coset . we're in our 70's and she has too many other things she would rather do.

[JazzEthics]

@freddym223 Too bad...our loss, but I can appreciate being true to yourself! You know how fans are...we always want more...haha. You guys made some great music videos together...give Marlene my best and tell her I miss seeing her and you playing together.. .....

[ImOfTheWoods]

Beautiful! I've been playing for 5 years, but haven't been able to move my left fingers individually much yet. That's next! 

[freddym223]

@ImOfTheWoods thank you ! hang in there, you sound good to me !

[SvendRJ]

Hi Freddy, You are right – distance is big, and playing chess at same table is absolutely to prefer, so do not worry I fully understand you argumentation and time priority – taking this opportunity to thank you for all your uploaded guitar courses, I found you on YouTube last month, and have downloaded more of them for me to learn from, thanks and all the best from one whom follow you super channel with great interest.. Cheers Svend

[LokayLakanay]

Very nice in fourbeat too !!

^_^ have a nice week-end.

Lokay

[ronhurak]

in another 8450 hours of practice I will be able to play like this. totally jealous!

[freddym223]

@ronhurak LOL! don't be . in another 8450 hours i'll probably be dead ! i'm jealous !

[13crickets]

Great jazz, Freddy. You really have a smooth style.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[freddym223]

@13crickets thx for the nice comment Ron !

[guitarjammer1]

Like that nice,smooth, jazzy sound. I wish I could play that well. I just play rythem. I go to country music jams and play rythem to old country,blues.fiddle tunes, and big band stuff. I have been around older people most of my life. And those are the people I jam with. Good role models and mentors.

[freddym223]

hi guitarjammer1 ! every body loves a good rythm player ! i've done plenty of it ! i love to play backup to the old country tunes . i love to play texas style backup for the old fiddle tunes , you know keeping the chords moving like at fiddle contests. as long as i have a guitar in my hands, i could care less whether i'm playing backup or lead as long as we make nice music as a whole and have fun ! i've played backup at many blue grass festivals and love it ! keep strummin partner ! :-)

[leekeehin]

brilliant and entertaining as always :P

[freddym223]

thank you leekeehin ! so glad to hear those kind words ! makes me want keep posting tunes !

[amber123446]

Nice to see you freddy!!!!

[terryrich7]

thanks for the post freddy great

regards terryrich england

[BoojWaZEE]

freddie, I don't know if you take request, but I'd love to hear your take on "When Sunny Gets Blue" someday !!! Thanks again for sharing.

[freddym223]

thx BoojWaZEE ! funny, because i was just asking my wife a couple days ago if she thought that would be an okay tune to post . i guess great minds think alike . lol !

[SvendRJ]

Hi Freddy - Well I have to take my chance - Ng1-f3... Cheers Svend

[freddym223]

@SvendRJ i wish you didn't live so far away so we could settle this over the board because my next move would be e7-e6 hopefully get into a nice lively game after you play d2-d4 . and i take with my C pawn with an unbalanced position. but i'm afraid i don't have the time for correspondent chess . :-(

[herbiesnerd]

Smooth Freddy. Glad to see you post again!

[freddym223]

Hi Freddy, nice playing (of course), and beautiful sound (echo/delay)...interessting how you "play" with the tempo, some lines are very much laid back, though they are not slow...hard to describe,haha. Love it.

Frank

[freddym223]

thx FrankRMusic ! i have neve damage to my right hand and it's very weak .i barely can hold on to a pick so i really struggle with timing.thus the weird timing.i'm all over the place. lol ! but i hit a few decent notes now and then when i get lucky . lol !
