[bossanova3000]

Very very good! Love this play.

[barker513]

love this song.played by a pro.

[barker513]

love this song

[lobextomy]

are you sure youre playing alone? It sounded like two guitars, a bass, and a rhythm section. good work

[soup2nuts1]

What a sound/feel! Great job. Is that one of the PM Ibanez guitars? - would love to know the model/year. 2:40 - 3:05 is perfection......Thanks

[jreichbart]

Thanks! Please check out some of my more recent videos for better audio and video quality (as well as better playing!). No, this is just a very early, around 02', Artcore AG75, blueburst.

[Backpagetear]

that was amazing thank you

[eschenazi]

nice arrangement! :)

[GUITRISTAO3]

Uau!!! You have just a Bossa Nova"s approach to this Burt' s song. which means to play Burt using one of his original inspiration style. SUPER!!!

[t8323av]

NICE! A bittersweet tune a little funked up! NICE!

[StandardSam1]

Fantastic playing Jake! Great rendition of an awesome tune. Are you using lighter bass strings?

[jreichbart]

Thank you! I use a fairly standard medium set, P12-16-20-W32-42-52. It is a great song indeed, I just wish I took more care with the video/audio quality... Please check out some of my recent videos for much better performances.

[paolo2012]

any tutorials for how you do your finger picking technique? I'd also love to email you separately if i could. this is exactly the type of style i like to play

[jreichbart]

Thank you! Please look at my recent video "Solo Fingerstyle pop and jazz guitar: Excerpts and samples" to see what my DVDs look like and also click on "more info" to learn more. Thanks again!

[brez9091]

fantastic!

[Mackdaddy901]

Dude, you are really good. And humble. That makes you a great guy. Thanks for the wonderful take on a good song. Now, I wish I had it on CD so I could listen to it on rainy days. Or when I ride out of town.

[jreichbart]

Thank you! Your wish is easy to fulfill, just choose 10-15 tracks from either YouTube and/or any of my solo guitar CDs and I'll compile a CD for you for $15 (plus 2$ S+H domestically, a bit more elsewhere), please let me know. Thanks again!

[AlbertTheLab]

I think I am the few dog can appreciate jazz guitar.

Just lovely.Albert

[musicpaul2008]

you are genial congratulations i hope listen more music -have you perfect pich?

[jreichbart]

Thank you! No, I don't have perfect pitch but I do have pretty good relative pitch which is more important and which can be learned, practiced and mastered.

[BLEURfangers]

Absolutely beautiful! ... and you handle Bacharach's typical 5/4 7/4 17/11 signature changes seamlessly...

Cheers,

[smcguitar99]

This song always makes me cry.

Your guitar sound also fantastic.

Guitars behind you is yours?

[jreichbart]

Thank you. Yes, that's my home studio with about 25 guitars. Behind the guitars I have a "wall of amplifiers", some 20 or so. Back in the 90's I did a lot of session work in the Detroit area and each amp had a different sound. Now I just use a Yamaha DG Stomp for everything... Please don't for get to subscribe!

[hargr003]

This is terrific - I would love to study to this; it's very relaxing. Do you have a CD? You should! You are very talented!!!

[jreichbart]

Thanks! I have, in fact, two CDs available. Their descriptions plus audio samples are available at my website under the "Audio" button. Check it out!

[glhwind]

Beautifully played.

[DarkShadow95]

Impressive man. Very impressive.

[peacejoytown]

Very nice! This is my favorite song of BB.

[thisgirlemily]

applause! applause! I just love it! Actually made me a little weepy since my late dad would have probably love your guitar playing and this reminded me of him. I grew up listening to his LPs of Burt Bacharach, Sergio Mendes, Jobim etc songs.

[mrfred24]

Flawless playing, and very nice guitars in the background! I LOVE the 9-stringed work of craftsmanship just behind you, I'd like to hear how it sounds, I'll browse through your videos later. Very personal interpretation and improvisation, I like your sound.

[jreichbart]

Thank you! Although I had that 9 string since 1992, and even though I had the best of intentions, I have really not done anything spacial with it. Looks good in the videos though!

[fendermac]

Good work once more.Nails or pads can I ask?Sounds like pads but you can never be sure on my laptop.Ha ha ha.

[jreichbart]

Thanks for this and the other nice comments, I really appreciate it. I'm not sure what "pads" mean, I'm guessing fingertips with no nails?? I have nails with acrylic I get done at a nail salon... My own nails are soft and break all the time. Ever since getting acrylic my playing has improved greatly and I can really dig in. Please stay tuned, the way the comments have been I plan to upload lots more.
