Nice one Freddy. Three fives and a jack in your hand, with the turn-up a five that 'suits' your Jack! I.e., top score for this. ( I could never count to 31!) Keep 'em coming my friend.
@Jazzwayze hi John ! nice to hear from you again ! hope you start blessing us with your smooth jazz again ! 15 - 2 - 4 and a run of 8 is 12 . i'm out . you owe me 5 bucks . LOL !
Also nice, which I discovered afterwards, is that you know Victor van Kampen, who is my present teacher, and whom you know via his sun, who is good in an other hobby of yours: chess (in which I am not skilled whatsoever btw.).
I like these coincedents .........
Keep up your age and the fun in making music...

@pha003 yes ! Vic was the first person i made friends with on youtube . he is also one of my favorite guitarists ! your in good hands with vic as your teacher !
Fred: thank you for this standard that I did'nt know, and I was very respectfully hearing you play it, in such a fine manner and beautiful tone; hearing lived-through-intentions, it's great, and again: respect and admiration are still the first thoughts upon hearing your interpretation. I'm already studying it including melody, your fretboard-settings show the way. I'll try to introduce it tomorrow with my fellow-guitarists.
@pha003 well, i have to thank you very much for such a nice comment ,and also for putting it on your favorites ! actually it's a very popular tune . i believe Johnny Mathis made it famous . i just threw in "Remembering Rio".to fill in some air time LOL! mainly because i liked it . :-)
Nice legato technique. This song has always been one of my favorites, from the original by Johnny Mathis version to Kenny Rankin. Do you by any change have the music to your interpretation? Thanks!
Aces again...some great nuance ideas for my own rendition...first time I ever heard this tune was from a jazz guitar guy named Jimmy Ponder, with a Bob James string arrangement, back in the day when FM radio was a lot different than AM...but then I got into the folks records and Nat's album "Love is the Thing" lays it out...great touch, another Freddie in my Favorites...thanks!!
@jefferzone61 thx again ! also thx for favorites ! but don't give me too many nice comments or you'll make me think i know what i'm doing ! and that could be dangerous because my head might explode :-(
I think Johnny Smith wasn't as well known because his 'heyday' was the 50's...He DID have a lot of LPs then...and was always the classiest guitarist in the jazz/easy listening genre. The way you played When Sunny Get's Blue is VERY reminiscent of his multiple lead note chord melody arrangements... I love dropping by and hearing your always tasteful playing!..
@Rowlandph Johnny was about thee hottest guitarist in New York at one time.but then he moved to colorado and opened a music store. his grand daughter commented on my video of" Moon light in vermont" and said he doesn't play anymore. it doesn't matter because he already played more notes than i could play in 10 life times.
@Rowlandph thankyou very much ! but that's an awful big shadow to walk under ! you know,i've often wondered why he's not as well known as ,say a Wes Montgomery or a Barney Kessel, or Joe Pass . he's one of the best pickers that ever lived !
@HFSTube i make my own backup with the software "band in a box". this way i have complete control over the volume of each instrument and also the tempo.i don't want loud drums and stuff . i just want a very soft backup.
Great Freddie,I really enjoyed your 2 harmonized theme's,the second one I didn't know (but I do now,lol) beautiful creative chord-voicing giving both tunes that rich sophisticated Jazz sound. See you're still doing great guitar-work besides your chess playing. Yesterday my son came home from a tournament in Hengelo (Holland)he became first and brought home some good money ( I can't earn that with my gigs),I'm glad for him.Freddie check out my latest tunes you might enjoy them,greetings.
@Jazzguts thx Vic ! i have listened to all of your tunes . i don't know those new ones though. i guess i'm out of the loop . :-( actually i listen to your older jazz things a lot . i like to play chess while i listen to your jazz tunes . it relaxes me and i'm hoping your smoothness will rub off on me ! and also some of those neat ideas you come up with.
@Tchairdjian thx Dick ! i havn't been playing guitar lately so my finger tips are burning like they came out of the oven . :-( i need to get off that chess board and play some geetar !
@PastoKage atta boy ! just keep at it . i never had a teacher either . just use your ears keep playing . but don't try to hard . enjoy the learning .that 's the best part . i'm still learning .
@freddym223 I think the same way as you ! ! ! We maybe love the guitar in a really similar way . . . Play guitar Just because we love to play, without too much hard training, without be angry for what we cant do.
@SmallDays1 thankyou very much ! but don't worry. after a couple hours trying to figure out INCE i finally got my 6 year old neighbor to decode it for me ! :-(
GREAT SONG AND AN EXCEPTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FREDDY. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF COMBINING THESE TWO SONGS BUT YOU MAKE IT WORK. YOU ARE LAYING DOWN SOME VERY COLORFUL HARMONY MAESTRO. VERY FLUID LEADING OF THE THEMES. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD TASTE COMBINED WITH SOULFUL PLAYING. THERE IS A LESSON HERE FOR ALL OF US.
@carvetop01 thx Allen ! i havn't been playing the guitar lately,so i figured i better play something before i forget how ! hey ! that hurts my finger tips ! i better get some calouses back :-(
@JazzEthics thx Lar ! i could be wrong,but it seems you mentioned this tune to me a couple years ago . well somebody did anyway LOL! my memories heading south :-(
Nice demonstration of playing in melody in chords,Freddy, but more than a demonstration, it sounds really great. I´m a fan of Oscar Peterson (have lots of vinyls;-)), and he´s playing those block chords on piano....just had to think of him when I watched your video.
@Arriscraft thx Robert ! sounds like you have it all figured out ! i wish you the best of luck in your retirement with your mistress ! LOL ! now get practicing damn it ! ;-)
OK. That's it buster!! You and Marlene are moving to Lake Havasu so I can finally have that great guitarist for gigs I've always dreamed of and I can just sing. This one is very special indeed. Perfection in motion. SOOOO clean.....love you bunches my friend......Pamela
@Harky1951 thx Pam ! we are packing our things and heading down to your place ! we may have to stay at your house for 5 or 6 years till we find a house that's suitable for our taste . LOL ! set up some high paying gigs, because i don't even take my ax out of the case for less than a hundred dollars ! lol ! but $25.00 will do for now .
Nice one Freddy. Three fives and a jack in your hand, with the turn-up a five that 'suits' your Jack! I.e., top score for this. ( I could never count to 31!) Keep 'em coming my friend.
