WHAT'S NEW (jazz guitar chord solo)

[freddym223]

thx for the nice comment ! but George Van Eps is a pretty big shadow to walk under ! great player !

[6468792]

beautiful changes....I just listened to GVEpps version and i think i like yours better....thanks for the inspiration....

[boomerang905]

Wow. Beautiful.....'nuff said!

[nicolavaleriik6hiq]

In Barney Kessel Style!!!!! Stupendous!!!!

[freddym223]

@nicolavaleriik6hiq thank you ! i've never heard barney play this one . but i'm sure if he played it, his version would put mine to shame . :-( i grew up listening to Barney in the 1940's and 50's . he was my biggest inspiration for chord solos . what a guy !

[bobburford]

I just listened to this again, Freddy. Really, really nice.

[freddym223]

@bobburford hi Bob ! always an honor to have one of my favorite guitarist take the time to listen to my music ! i've watched all your videos i really love your playing !

[carvetop01]

Wow. The humble master strikes again. Great song. Love the harmony. Your passing phrases set up the harmony changes with grace. Very very tasty!

U Da Man,

allen

[freddym223]

@carvetop01 thx Allen ! always nice to get a nice comment from a guitarist whom i consider a top notch chord soloist . U Da Man ! right back at you !

[nicacechi]

Like you I've got old fingers at 50, love (but not quite good) to play jazz guitar, started at age 9 but still hopeful to be as good as you are upon reaching age 60...Congratulations! for sharing your wonderful style..

[freddym223]

thx nicacechi ! your fingers are still very young . mine have been around for 72 years . :-(

[TheFlimOfFlam]

How do you like this guitar?

[freddym223]

@TheFlimOfFlam i've had better . but the price was right . 250.00 shipped. not very stable as far as tuning. excellent tone though .

[bpertz]

wow; this is some of the most incredible guitar playing I've ever witnessed. Maybe I'm just too obsessed with jazz guitar, but this is absolutely beautiful. You play with such heart. I hope to be as good as you one day.

[freddym223]

Another Thought and Up for Discussion - let's see if others agree.

If you did this recording in a Studio , the Critics would be comparing the Legends to You !

Great Work Fred. -Basement Bob

[freddym223]

damn you Basement Bob ! your making me blush ! lol ! you know i'm just a street player

[userfixit]

Man Daddy-O - That was real good and you know it too. some well coordinated and fast finger work going on here.

That tune was so rich and tasty. It is a real treat to hear Quality Music played the Right Way.

Bravo Amigo !

-Basement Bob

[freddym223]

thanks amigo ! i never played this tune before,but after 15 minutes of foolin around it kind of played it self.i just hung on.lol

[carvetop01]

Freddy,

This is a gorgeous tune. The run at 0:32 Johnny Smith style. Also some of the close voicings. Perfect ending. YA DONE GOOD OLD MAN. I LIKE THIS ALLOT.

[FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

Only 600 views? I travesty I say. You are, hands down, one of the best. Among the ranks of Joe Pass on my tier of favorites. I don't suppose there is any chance of you posting any king of lesson is there?. Like interesting scales, chords, patterns, tips, etc. If not, I understand. But hopefully so, I do truely take a great interest in your playing, and I hope one day that I would be as good as you. Keep up the good work.

Veggies

[freddym223]

thanks Veggies ! I have posted lessons on my channel.i'll send you the first one

[clewi1091]

very nice freddy. and im glad to see you back on here. ive missed watching you play.

[freddym223]

thanks clewi1091 ! i've been kickin back this hot summer :-)

[BocaFriend]

Freddy, I still melt with the first chord each time I hear you play. You have a sweetness of style I can't find elsewhere. I do wish you would post more. It's such a privilege to listen to upper partials here in South Florida, which you know is the Land of Partial Uppers! Love and 'bridge' work of the best sort, ~Terry

[freddym223]

thanks Terry ! your so funny,sweet and clever ! :-)

[BocaFriend]

Freddy, I called our friend Joe B in NJ last night and told him of your beautiful posting and begged him to get a camera and share his gift with our YT smooth jazz fanciers. I fear it is such a dying art to play in your melodic style. It was a golden era we must archive for upcoming generations. I do think Joe will be here and I know you'll be glad too! Hugs, ~T

[freddym223]

thanks Terry ! that would be so neat if joe would post on youtube.he's great !

[App13c0r3]

haha. tommy /is/ amazing. seen him in concert before, and intend to again. But you are a fantastic guitarrist. It's calming to go from listening to some guitarists like Paul gilbert to this. I wish you could teach me some guitar. haha.

[freddym223]

thanks App13c0r3 ! maybe i can teach you.check out my lessons. :-)

[Lachance8]

Brian says "Nice Chords"and that he would love to record a couple of tunes with you for youtube sometime. Elizabeth says "hi "to Freddy and Marlene!

[freddym223]

thanks Lachance8 ! Brian is way to good for me to play with.he's my hero ! maybe he'd let me carry his guitar case. :-)

[Lachance8]

Freddy, Thanks for the compliment, but you have a lot of knowledge, passed down from the masters, that all of us could stand to learn from. God bless.

[StratBurns]

Hi Freddy

Two words "LARGE CLASS"

Thanks for share.

[mraggrovator]

Super playing Freddy.

[freddym223]

thanks for checking this one out mraggrovator !

[EdMuirton]

Beautiful playing as always Sir! Most enjoyed! Cheers indeed Freddy!

[freddym223]

yo Ed thanks man!

[Blues251]

I don't feel like you should excuse for your playing

[tenorbanjoguy]

Sounds more Johnny Smith than Barney Kessel! Sounds terrific, thanks sooooo much!!

[freddym223]

thanks so much tenorbanjoguy ! if i sound like either one i'm happy !

[herbiesnerd]

Good to see you posting again Freddy! This clip is like a time machine for me to hear. This is exactly the stuff that I used to hear my dad play when he would plug in and practice at home. Very soothing and beautiful. These progressions must have some Howard Roberts influence since that's who taught my dad his jazz. It sounds so spot on.

Randy

[freddym223]

hi Randy ! i heard your dad's fine guitar playing !he was lucky to have Howie as a teacher !

[dorotwhy]

Ahhh... you, sir, know how to caress...mmmm

[freddym223]

thanks dorotwhy ! caress the guitar is a great way to put it !

[zevon1964]

Wow! Always amazing.

[CJbouzouki]

very nice sound!

[freddym223]

thanks CJbouzouki ! i dig your bouzouki playing !

[GordoBrown1022]

I have to ask... I've been playing guitar for some time... But, what exactly are under partials. I'm not sure what they are.... Or I've heard of them and just don't remember.

[freddym223]

thanks GordoBrown ! you might gooogle it.sorry no room here

[GordoBrown1022]

That's okay... Thanks tho. I'll check up on it.

[freddym223]

no promises Gordo,but i may do a lesson on them

[GordoBrown1022]

That would be awesome. I'm interested in learning about them. I'm subscribed so I'll see it if you put it up.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Freddy That is Hot !! Reminds me of Johnny Smith..

[freddym223]

thanks SIRONEDRAGON ! but i'm not even close to being in his league :-(

[sunriverperson]

Freddie,

Great work on this beautiful tune! Your use of partials gives it a rainbow of color LOL. I can see that it would limber up fingers that are getting stiff from age, as well I know. It is great to hear from you again! Beautiful work, my friend.

Rich

[freddym223]

thanks Rich ! this ones a finger strecher,for sure.

[jspartacus]

Lovely! Please post the lesson on upper partials!

[freddym223]
