I mean GBQuartet.

[MrJRichie]

For those looking for the chords there is a channel called QBQuartet that has play along backing tracks with the chords written out for not only this song but for lots of other jazz standards as well.

[deathcabforpaddy]

Um if you look at your comment it doesn't even look like you have any idea how to play guitar. Why are so many people insistent to call musician's out on faking it on youtube when it's clearly an original recording?

[KingLink5972]

Because people don't know the hard work that musicians put into practicing and performing this music for an audience, let alone a YouTube audience, since it's so massive. I'd crash if I had to perform for YouTube. I can't do it; just can't. I respect this guy. He's really good at this song.

[pigluver486]

ok i apologize, but I actually do play guitar... I really wasn't thinking when i posted that comment, and I removed it for your (and everyone else's) sake. When I posted the comment I was just sort of being stupid and I think some people took it the wrong way. Again, I'm sorry to all I have offended.

[MedicineCatRocks]

Cool this Cat knows how to swing, Awsome ^_^

[Khayman37]

it don't mean a thing if it ain't got THAT swing ! Great job ! ;-)
