marvelous... good timming tempo and clean play..he play proffesional and personally i feel the quality and absolute essence of the song... hmmm he good!!
hands down, the best guitar playing I have ever heard. To improvise this good you certainly have a special talent. Wonderful, made my year 2011 already.
You're in luck, I have two "official - legal - royalties paid" CDs available. The first, "16 songs", actually contains this song and is available on CDBaby. The second, "Long ago and far away", is available directly from me, please email me to purchase your copy. Thanks!
Your long wait is over, I have an hour long DVD lesson in widescreen showing exactly how to play this arrangement and much more. Email me if you'd like a copy. Thanks!!
Eric Clapton would express his appreciation for how nicely you play. You play like a singer sings. You've got it down, Wow ! WHo areyour main influnces to chord with the melody so well ? All I can say is Hare Krishna ! , which is what is written on the back of the Strat that George Harrison gave to Eric.
I just wanted you to know I can't stop listening to your music! I also wanted to say that I used this as my music for a cover I did for this song I just love it so much I had to use it! I will be giving you credit for the guitar! Hope you don't mind! Much thanks Drea
I'd really like to take a lesson or two from you sometime. I can't say when I'll be in the Detroit area....any chance you'll be coming down through Florida anytime soon? Great playing as always. All my best.
Thanks! If your local jazz, guitar or arts society could spring for a little (and I mean little...) cash to bring me out, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Thanks again!
I think its time you get a recording contract and start doing the late night shows for some exposure. What you need is a Manager/Producer Although I love listening for free...STOP giving it away
Thanks! I wish there was a way to make that happen... Perhaps some manager/producer is watching these videos as we speak! Meanwhile I'm just glad to have an audience here. Thanks again!
Sir i really like the chord melody style you play and of course the music is from my era as well. This tune is absolutely fabulous and i like how you maintain the rhythm throughout without missing a beat I own an ibanez Artcore and it has become my favorite guitar to play jazz on. The only thing I changed was the pick-ups from the standards to seymour duncans. I'm trying to learn the tune your playing visually with limited success. Thanks for your music.
I really like how you put a new spin on the song in the 2nd half of it. I barely recognized the melody at first, but saw where you went with it, and then it just came back to me as familiar. That was some pretty amazing stuff.
Thanks for the great comment! That is what jazz is, in part , about - improvising other melodies over the same structure then coming back to the theme.
Thanks! I just use the pickup that came with the guitar, I really don't mess much with electronics, I just turn the dials until it sounds OK to me and I play. I do, however, have a bridge piezo pickup I blend in a little.
Yes, I have two in fact. My CD '16 songs' from 2000 has this tune on it and many other great pop tunes performed on steel string acoustic. You can hear samples at my website under the audio tab. Thanks.
Thank you! I do, in fact, offer custom lessons by DVD in which I show how I perform any of my solo guitar arangements (1 per DVD, usually around 75 minutes). I go over every single note with closeups on the hands and I explain everything in very clear langauage. And even though the lessons are song specific, I make many other references to solo guitar aranging in general. In addition to any DVD I may make for you, I have several other titles already available. Please let me know if interested.
Thanks very much. I don't know about the stereo but the sound is over compressed and distorted. I'll send you a good quality MP3 of this performance if you send me your email address through a private message.
Due to poor audio quality I am offering to whoever is interested a high quality MP3 of the same performance, please supply an email address. I'm still keeping the video up though, once I'm done with a performance, i just want to move on to the next.
Apparently Youtube stopped suddenly accepting Flash videos, so I had to convert this video and then it has been compressed again, resulting in really poor audio quality. Hopefully the music still comes through.
Sing the song gosh that's all I wanted to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just add to the address of your videos the string:

You'll hear the difference, I promise (btw, the stereo effects can be better appreciated using headphones)!
So, you may put the whole corrected link in the description! ^_^
Hope this helps! :-)
