I love the cat at 1:05 !

And I love music from 0:01 to 3:55 !

[k5vg]

@Magist3r3 This is scary, because I am thinking, "What cat??" But when yo go back to 1:05, there it is. Hmmm.

[teriver]

[kevinthebeagle]

yes, it is Sid's arrangement as found in his book

[jackdnp121]

Great Song by bill evans , great play

buy why is it kind of foggy

your fingernail seem pink to me lol

[kevinthebeagle]

i used a video filter on the clip just to amuse myself. pink fingernails was not part of the mission. thanks for watching.

[Gettinghitonattheban]

The changes are from G to F#, then descends by fourths to G right?

[viniguitarjazz]

good !!jazz !! vini brazil !!

[scottbos68]

hunting ballad well played congradualtions

[kevinthebeagle]

thx for the nice compliment. my advice would be to learn things that you love; ultimately you teach yourself, but we all need tutors in the form of books and teachers to get the complicated truth in bite size form. i like sid jacobs books. there are many good books, finding the ones that make the most sense for you is just part of the journey. don't quit, you can learn to do far more of the stuff you are watching than you might think. keep at it.

[hedkutter18]

As far as cd's go, which do you recommend? I'd like to listen to some and learn by ear. Again, I'm relatively new to the jazz area.

[kevinthebeagle]

get some Joe Pass albums

[scottbos68]

its not guitar but i think these are the best jazz recordings i can think of:

miles davis - miles 58 sessions

charlie parker - the quintet live at massey hall

john coltrane - afro blue impressions

[hedkutter18]

Wonderfully played. I'm continually amazed at the number of great jazz players I keep digging up on Youtube. Keep it up!

What would you suggest to a newcomer to jazz guitar playing? I really want to get into it.

[illdoitagain]

great feel, i'm amazed at how many chord solos you can keep in your head at one time. seems like as soon as i learn one i forget one

[kevinthebeagle]

glad you like these, memorizing them is a bit of a challenge and execution can always be better and really understanding them theoretically is an unending 'mining' process. i'm forever coming up with new mistakes to make, so the repetition aids in getting them planted in the brain.
