[drummerdudex023]

STAIRWAY to heaven quote. Nicely done. Clean and smooth. Good going.

[ayungjalu]

wow,,amazing!!

[Hellsidion]

You're a fantastic player. My playing is mainly focused around Metal. But I really enjoy the Jazz background. It seems very fun to play, but so difficult!

[sevensharpeleven]

@Hellsidion Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Glad that you liked it! All the best!

[pjazzlg]

Really love your playing. Who are your influences?

[sevensharpeleven]

@pjazzlg Thanks for watching! Some influences: Joe Pass, Peter Sprague, Ted Greene, Helio Delmiro, Pat Metheny, just to name a few.

[heliospuppy]

Les Paul would be applauding!

[sevensharpeleven]

[mrsgmason]

Amen, amen, beautiful GOD Speed

[steddars]

very smooth, nice! Very talented too.

[Wilburo2691]

Amazing !



[cj1982]

that was sick! do i detect some classical guitar influence in that first chordal run in the A sections? also kudos to you for being a thin guy like me and being able to handle the weight of a les paul! haha. I just can't do it.

[sevensharpeleven]

@cj1982 I agree, Les Pauls are too heavy! Thanks for the comments!

[GuitarGospelKeys1]

@cj1982 you detect stairway to heaven, ha, it ties in very well. great job, you make it look very very easy and effortless.

[s1914]

Awesome! Straight into my favourites. Can I ask what sort of amp you use please?

[sevensharpeleven]

@s1914 Thanks! For this video I used an old peavey bandit 112. For my solo jazz gigs I usually use a Cube Roland 60 which is very easy to carry around and has a decent tone.

[jazzman3071]

Great jazz tone esp from a solid body like that. Great playing bro.

[sevensharpeleven]

@jazzman3071 Thanks! I appreciate the comment!

[sylvain54000]

i've already said it but this is some wonderful playing on a great arrangement! :)

[sevensharpeleven]

@sylvain54000 Thanks again! I appreciate you comment Sylvain.

[nathalia827]

[sevensharpeleven]

@issjakers Thanks!

[riffmeista69]

Ahahahaha 0:12 - 0:14, obvious Led Zep influence

[autume2010]

[ClarkKent2024]

one of the best of a lot of performances of Wave on youtube

[sevensharpeleven]

@ClarkKent2024 Thank you so much!!

[UkEliteGlitchers]

its really calming and relaxing this! i tried meditating to it and it helps!!

[jkip44]

Great ideas and improvising Walter! Also, great single-note chops. Nice sound, even on the Gibson solid-body. Please keep up the postings.  Thanks, Walter.

[sevensharpeleven]

@jkip44 Thank you so much for your comments!!!

[renatinhoalb2002]

[BanaNananoMi]

ur my new hero XD

[PoxHaunted]

0:12 stairway to heaven?? xD nice

[777jordan]

mm great playing, but I do agree, some parts are very stairway to heaven-y. Perhaps on purpose?

[RadiusX7]

oh! pimp double time!

[drumsticks10593]

smooooth my man.

[NightGallery]

You explore the harmonic structure of the piece wonderfully, which accentuates Jobim's compositional genius. He was a monster of harmonic progression. Well done!

[LAMERFENER]

omg you have amazing rhythm feeling !!

[bibihyfor]

Very very nice!!

[pamirs94]

amazing arr.!

[justplaybaby123]

great player

[acidsjester2]

smooth

[horizonhunter117]

Blowin away!

[Yontar]

kick ass!!!

[junka22]

fantastic playing!

[lobobunda]

omg :O

nice ._.

[limaktba]

Cool man. Sweet, modern voicings and the single note lines were insane too. I was hoping to hear some more of them. Great tone too-shows that you don't need a hollowbody to get a good sound for jazz (Martino is proof of that anyway, but ;))

[danix450]

nice stairway to heaven intro incorporation lol i like it :P

[dziepiejazz]

Great playing

[jbctah]

Great! I enjoy watching all ur videos. Thk for post.

[sevensharpeleven]

Thank you!

[jkip44]

@sevensharpeleven Great ideas and improvising Walter! Great single-note chops as well. Sound is great, even with the Gibson solid-body. Keep up the postings. Thanks Walter.

[leoblack97]

How long has it been since I hear a very special version, with that endless succession of arrangements, the single is great.

I subscribe, Greetings!

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks! I appreciate your comments!

[cabesar]

secillamente genial,......

[jazzyedwin24]

I having so much fun watching you playing, it just great.

[MrGospelGuitar]

That's two of your songs I've listened to now. Your playing is fantastic.

[nunayobidnis]

It was pretty startling the first time I heard it - this nice relaxed improv, then all of a sudden, you break into a sprint!

Are your nails kept long? I ask because I'm retraining myself to play in a similar fashion, after decades of using a pick, but I'm trying to relearn how to blaze without one - seems you've got that figured out!

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks for the comment. I keep my nails long (not too long though) so I can transition from chord melody to fast single lines without having to grab a pick and also keeping the same kind of tone, for that I use my index finger nail as a pick.

[dphidt]

What setup are you using to get that sound? Eq settings, etc? It's an awesome jazz sound, esp. from a solid body.

[sevensharpeleven]

in this particular video I used the bridge pickup, tone control half way .10' strings, going to an old solid state peavy amp. with flat EQ and a little spring reverb. The tone, however, can change tremendously depending on how you play. You can achieve different tones with the same set up. Thanks for writing!

[nunayobidnis]

Wonderful! Are you using a thumbpick for the fast sections, or is it fingers, a la Wes Montgomery? Hard to see....

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks for the comment! I am actually using my index finger nail as a "pick" on the fast double time section. I find it very handy, and it also helps keeping the same tone.

[monmonky]

wow!!!

[LBET]

Warm and wonderful. Loved the a taste of "The Girl" at the end. AND all on a Les Paul custom.

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks for the comments!

[themanster101]

can really hear the Chet Atkins/Lenny Breau influence here. Good job.

[mmmgjl]

nice work dude!

[ironmonger100]

Superb.. I was somehow expecting to hear familiar progressions but what I heard was unique, definitely your own brand. Really enjoyed it, thanks.

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks for your comments. You are a very fine player yourself! Enjoyed your videos very much!

[kurtrosenwinkel]

loved this

[Frequency9876]

Wow, that is dope. I am very inspired.

[MarcioAPQ]

Caro amigo, chorei de emoção, desde que Jobim se foi, nunca vi nada igual!!!

Congratulations!!!!

[Abovedarim214]

The best solo version on youtube

[sevensharpeleven]

Thank You!

[kevinyoung00]

[yoncloud9]

[seniorplayalot777]

[docsbassist]

way to throw girl from ipanema in at the end!

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks for you comment!

[georgeguitars]

fantastic version!!

[sevensharpeleven]

Thank you!

[thatlldoit]

Sensational playing mate, from a fellow jazz guitarist. Congrats, the fluency in your fingers is strong, as is your knowledge of altered chords and scales. Love the double time improv too.

Greyflatlander, perhaps before you go telling people what to do in such an emphatic way, check your facts. This song 'Wave' was most DEFINITELY written by AC Jobim.

[sevensharpeleven]

Thanks for your comments!

[Mazu1980]

Excelente Walter!!!!

[sevensharpeleven]

Gracias!

[Greyflatlander]

Wave isn't by Jobim, it's by Herb Ellis!!!!

Fix your video description!!!!

[MoFabri]
