I can think it would be appropriate to say that you totally master the guitar. You play this song so naturally that it looks like you composed it. Amazing cover, love it.
This is beautifully done. I was expecting the worse; but you have captured the spirit of Wes' music. This happens to be a favorite of mine. But your solo is your own - it is logical (ala Wes), melodic (ala Wes), soulful and in the groove (ala Wes). Your tone is really nice, too.
I hate to sound like a salesman, but I purchased his course. I hardly recognize myself as a guitarist. It's that effective. If Matt ever returns to the state. The Jazz guitarist crown awaits him.
TBoblp....hes not on tabs bro....hes that smooth and gifted...and confident...the swing feel...not since montgomery have i heard such feel...hes the real thing.
I've never heard of this guy but I'm listening to all of his clips. This is one bad-ass, smooth, gifted, tasty, phenomenal guitar player!!!!! Amazing stuff....and his phrasing is just dead on!

Yes, but that doesn't mean everyone has to.

Not bad, but you 're too mellow (for my taste). On the theme Wes is much rythmic and straight.

Sweet sounding Matt. Frans made me a guitar as well. A Moderne 17", about five years ago, and I love it.
The Excalibur you have is one of the smoothest guitars I have ever heard.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers,

Not a Gibson but an Elferink. Wonderful sounding guitars also played by another master of tone, Jesse van Ruller. Nice work, Matt.
