500 Miles high

[heyguesswhat1]

Wow you play song very good. My teacher me this one to learn but it seems that you have a lot more chords than what i have written. Are you play the singers part?

[Jazzguts]

@heyguesswhat1 I made an own arrangement and harmonized the theme with chords, something I love doing, thanks and success with your study,Vic.

[Arborwaychet]

Man ... as everyone says ... you got the feel 'laying back on this and so beautifully understated lines ... 'in the pocket' ... thanks for the post

[Jazzguts]

@Arborwaychet Thanks, for your generous commenting, it's always my pleasure,greetings Vic.

[cuetty]

Hey, you have a beautyfull sound !

[Jazzguts]

@cuetty Thank you, sound from the Soul,that's what I'm after,Vic.

[cuetty]

@Jazzguts

Yes but beside soul,

what Amp was used and what Stings are you playing ?

I really like how your guitat sounds :)

[Jazzguts]

@cuetty Soul is the most important then,1. Seymour Duncan humbucker,2.played straight into 4 channel Folio notepad (spirit) mixer3. Strings: Thomastiek inFeld 011. Thank you , Vic.

[cuetty]

@Jazzguts

Zoran

[Jazzguts]

@cuetty Wish YT was around when I started out, I learned by ear without Videos anyway hope you enjoyed learning the parts,greetings Vic.

[cuetty]

@Jazzguts

Yes thanke you a lot it was really helpfull for me.

hm ... having youtub is good and bad.

You get really fast and easy tips trics and so on, but you are not "forced" to train your ear. That is a los

Bye and keep on plaiong so nice :)

[BlueInGreen1959]

Nice music, sir. Soft and mellow. That's what music should be in a way.

[Jazzguts]

@BlueInGreen1959 Sure certainly not aggressive and depressing,there's too much of that around which only creates more negativism,Vic.

[jazzman3071]

Very hip man. I feel like you are living every note you are playing...great stuff bro.

[Jazzguts]

@jazzman3071 It is man, it is,that's all I can say,Vic.

[george4mon]

nicest looking guitar ever!

[Jazzguts]

@george4mon Ad hopefully the nicest play ever.

[hanzabass]

you completely blow me away, Victor, thank you for puting up all this great music!

[Jazzguts]

@hanzabass It's my pleasure and you made my day with such a meaningful remark,Vic.

[lucaseugenioquintao]

Hi brother. I can imagin you playing in Copacabana beatch in front of the sea...

[Jazzguts]

@lucaseugenioquintao You mentioning Copacabana,that's a great tune do do an instrumental with, Vic.

[groove2miriam]

Nice! -- what a beautiful job! I'm a fan of Flora Purim's version too.

thanks ---miriam

[Jazzguts]

@groove2miriam Thank you very much for your reaction,it's great how people like you show their appreciation much obliged,Vic.

[micheleapicella2]

beautiful, i love your version

[Jazzguts]

@micheleapicella2 Thank you for your ears and enthusiasm,Vic.

[bradenls0]

this is a great smooth style of the song, I really like the recording too

[Jazzguts]

Thanks bradenls0,I sometimes play it faster but I was experimenting here with a slow-medium Bossa feel,I agree the tune stands out good in this style as well, Vic.

[arthurmee]

Absolutely fantastic guitar playing . . . . great choice . . . . Chick Corea ia the man.

[Jazzguts]

@arthurmee Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed,your praise is much appreciated,Vic.

[keyborjohnson]

Great playing. Realy 5 stars. Amasing guitar sound.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Johnson,love your professional playing Amigo, and that singer you got not only a eye catching beauty but also great vocalist, saludos Vic.

[pirrungon]

delicious with a bossa style

[Jazzguts]

Thanks pirrungon, glad you enjoyed my version,greets Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Hi Steve,I don't have and make any Mp3 fragments of my backingtracks,I advice you to purchase a new version so you can make your own,it's a very user-friendly program,so you wont be depending on others,greets Vic.

[SteveFimmel]

Hi Vic.

All I can say is - wow, what a great version!

I'm an Australian and trying to link up with others who are into some of the jazz and jazz fusion produced in the 70's.

I read above that you created your backing track using Band in a Box.

Is there any chance that you could send me a copy of the file (assuming there is an MP3 or WAV version available)?

I'd seriously be willing to pay you for it!

Thanks.

Steve.

[dallton2007]

I started studing this song, and I found you here. Very nice phrasing, congratulations. Keep on jazzing !!

Dallton from Brazil

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Dalton,the great advantage of YT is you can find people who all have an individual approach to Music and learn from them all,wish it was around in my time,greets Vic.

[brunobordi]

[Jazzguts]

Thanks pachsabun, yeah those where the days man, Light as a feather with the Chic Corea band,fantastic always a great inspiration,greets Vic.

[melodykentucky]

The work has gone too late into the morning (3:37 AM). So where do I run to chill out? Of course....

Thank you Vic. (I'm still looking forward to getting my hands on a VvK CD.)

((U))

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Melody, well that's very late indeed, mostly I'm broken the next day,lol. In a while I'll have "Soultalkin" and "Every Shadow has a Heart" for purchasing on my webSite,greets Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Pepe, Chic has and will always be a great inspiration, fantastic that you're checking out my work, I have to say you're a man that goes for the Music,I see in your video's the main thing is your inner-development as a musician,the fact that the camera is running is just something extra,that's a true musician,full concentration man,gracias por tu amistad Vic.

[leyva905]

Exelente maestro muy buena inprovisacion sin repetir eso me gusto mucho y con mucho sentido muy bien elaborado y sin la agresividad del autor en un estilo muy propio que eslo que mas admiro en un musico muy muy buen trabajo,saludos desde miami

[HarmoniasDaLuaJazz]

amazing. our band plays this.

[Jazzguts]

Muchas gracias Harmonias, I love Chic Corea, always inspiring to play,check out my "Armando's Rumba" (one of my older Vids) success with your band,Vic.

[thatGUYinTHEmustang]

nice guitar man. what model is it?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks THEmustang.... it's a GB-20 from Ibanez,taken out of production, GB-10 still available,greets Vic.

[andercs666]

very good..

[Jazzguts]

Thanks andercs666,you're a fine player(nice sound) liked your version as well,welcome to my channel,greets from Holland,Vic.

[zikahendrix]

[Therapist1972]

5 stars! great ! ~♥

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Kim,appreciate that, greetings Vic.

[ambilevous]

hey vic: thanks for the online lessons. what is that film inside the f holes, does it cut down on feeback? how do you attach it?

I'd also like to know if the pickup and bridge are stock or not? thanks, steve; NY, NY

[Jazzguts]

Hi Steve, I had feedback problems so my custumizer put in a piece of hard plastic in the F-hole to prevent this,it really helps. Further the pick you see is a seymour-duncan hum-bucker, I replaced the original Benson Ibanez,this pick-up pronounces the mid frequency more and has more body (bass),the bridge is made of wood and is original, this guitar isn't produced anymore,but I'm very glad I own one,greets Vic.

[Torfinnmadssen]

That's it, I'm going jazz.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Torfinn, that's what I want to hear, Jazz is harmony,an adventurous voyage, soul-searching, responsibility in Freedom, a way of life,greets Vic.

[bashingbrains]

Really amazing stuff to hear !! Keep up the good worK

[Jazzguts]

Thanks bashing, check out my new Vid(still processing for optimal Imaging quality) "My Romance" tell me what you think, greets Vic.

[rick0886]

Echt supergaaf! heb veel van je posts geluisterd ondertussen, vind de manier waarop je speelt echt heel mooi.

heb je nog tips voor me wat betreft fingerpicking? (behalve veel oefenen, dat begrijp ik ;P ) of waar ik hier wat info over kan vinden?

Kijk uit naar je volgende posts!

[Jazzguts]

Hoi Rick, mijn benadering is een totaal concept proberen te krijgen van muziek, ik denk dat wanneer je jezelf traint zo te luisteren en alle partijen belangrijk te vinden je een heel eind komt, bas,akkoorden,ritme en melodie, dat moet er allemaal zijn, groetjes Vic.

[HermanHanauer]

Het is fijn weer naar je bijzondere muziek te luisteren.dank je wel Victor.

It`s a paradise for the ear

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Herman, fijn om zulke enthousiaste reacties te krijgen,erg motiverend voor mij deze feedback,muzikale groeten Victor.

[jazzyedwin24]

I never heard this song before, it such a beautiful tune and your playing it make it sound so smooth. You one bad cat Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Edwin,it's from the Chic Corea Album"Light as a feather" with Flora Purim and Stanly Clark, there it's played much faster,but I also like it as a slow Bossa, thanks for tuning in<greets Vic.

[fredhale]

Victor, this may be my favorite of all your posts. Beautiful !!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Fred, the first time I heard it from Corea in high tempo,I heard it's beauty in the chord progression and melody,glad you liked it,Victor.

[Arturito29]

OLALA! you make a magic music with this guitarrr! Bravisisimo Vic!

 Un abrazo, Art

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Artur, see you're really checking me out lately, I'm getting quite some attention,glad for that. In the end the "throw -away Music" will loose this race. In fact it's not a race for me because I'll always be doing my own thing, for me Music is no competition just following my path,Greets Vic.

[archtopbrownie]

Sweet Victor. Love the tone and touch on this guitar.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Lance, the momentI bought it years ago I knew it was for me, favoured by Pat Metheney as a marvalous instrument,now a collectors Item ,but this one won't fall into Japs hands with dollar signs in their eyes,LOL,greets Vic.

[JogiBass]

Hey, I don't like Corea, I don't like Bossa. But I DO like this!!!!!

[Jazzguts]

Well Jogi that's a tremendous compliment it means you're digging something Else, let me guess: my style and interpretation, thanks man for always tuning in, Summertime coming up don't miss that one, greets Vic.

[Arturito29]

A great performance for a great day, you are a great master and a real acrobatic olalamusic samurai ! Thanks it was a really nice present for my birthday :-)) Acrobatic is about the way this music enters to the soul and make it feel so high and smilee! Please Keep sharing your passion with us! Arthur

[Jazzguts]

Congratulations Maestro, many more years on this planet together with us. It's about the Soul man, when we cherish our Soul we cherish that of others,like my good friend in Chess playing :"Artur", a true Maestro in his field and a great teacher,greetings Vic.

[funkymitty]

Hi, Vic

Very wonderful version!

good bossa nova rhythm.

Your jazz tune is so classical and tasteful.

Huggs :)

Mitty

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Mitty, I really enjoy playing Bossa Nova,in Jazz,great rhythm to play over,thanks for tuning in and commenting,most welcome always, greets Vic.

[muskete]

Hey Vic, the new sound quality is amazing!! Thanks alot for your vids!

Greetings from Madrid!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks muskete, been experimenting a lot lately with sound and Image improvement, it's starting to bear fruit, always welcome,greets Vic.

[TuviaGering]

nice playing as always! is that a new guitar?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Tuvia,no this guitar is from 1981, but I cherish and keep her in good shape,greetings Vic.

[LanangYogya]

What a wonderful playing with beautiful guitar sound! Everytime you play a new tune from the artist I'm not familiar with, it make me try to look other songs from the artist! I don't listen Chick Corea too much, after watch this I really want to search his other songs! It happened when you play E.W. & Fire too. And Vic, your guitar phrasing always make me jealous. I wish I could play improvisation thing like you did..

[Jazzguts]

Thanks so much Lanang,always welcome man.Chick Corea is fantastic,a great inspiration for me, man don't worry I get the same feeling when I hear you play Flamenco,I mean I can do a bit of that but you're the real deal man, to dominate all these styles I need an extra lifetime of studying, keep in touch,Vic.

[johnvankampen]

500 Miles High, this one seems a 1000. Hi Vic, Nice sound and feel like always and in Bossa Style allot different and more swinging. Miles would have liked this style and who knows he's up there blowing his trumped swinging on the clouds with his Angels. 5* it is and keep those beautiful tunes rolling man, Loved it, Greets, John (Willemstad)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks John,how you like the Vid quality in high resolution,yesterday I bought an additional external drive (500GB) cause I'm planning on doing all future Vids in this quality,everything is so much nicer this way,sound and Imaging, maybe you're right about Miles,what an inspiration that guy was, abrazzo Vic.

[johnvankampen]

Hi Vic, yes the quality is suburb, sound imaging all very much better, like Warner Brothers real Prof. Boy I have a 40GB external Drive and thought I had allot. I have several CD's from Miles and one in the time he was very depressed these tunes have never been published before his style is quiet different and can hear the rather sad sounds coming from his trumpet still unique in style from the master within. Life isn't easy as times pressure becomes to much to handle. Greets, John (Willemstad)

[Jazzguts]

John one of these quality Vids take up to nearly 300MB and I'm not going back to a lesser quality now,now you understand why I bought that 500 GB external hard disk,good quality cost money( but will pay back, our secret) and for Miles,the guy was a great Musician and Artist,he had vision during each period of his life, I'd like to hear that CD you mentioned,never heard of it, got to start working on our Site again,greets Vic.

[johnvankampen]

You are right Vic, I need to make time for our Website. The year started your brother very hectic with both businesses still made money last year is worth hanging on. I tried a couple of days ago but the ideas just didn't come to me. Don't worry, I have my designs and layout ready on paper, now it's just to get them written out and uploaded and once I start will finish it all. We will talk soon, Greets, John (Willemstad)

[donPabloArturo]

Good Afternoon Victor.

Thank You for Chick Corea's pece by You. Really smoothy and with bossa nova feeling. NIce hear and see your videos, because you play from Your soul.

Greet

Artur

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Arthur, heard anything bout Naudo,is he back on another new channel? It's great you mention "Soul" man, it was always my task to bring "balance" between intellect(knowledge) and playing from the Heart,you refer to as "Soul" it is my life's destiny, a hug my friend,Vic.

[donPabloArturo]

Good Morning Victor. I still observing a new videos of Naudo on Y.T. But all are from another people. Thanks God for this people who remember Naudos creativity and Himself.

God bless You

Artur

[Jazzguts]

Artur,I'll send a mail as soon as I can to Juan Ignatio(his camaraman) and find out what the plans are for Naudo,how can we forget such a great person and friend,I'll get in touch with them,till later,Vic.

[joepius]

sir, you are the king of smooth fluidity

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Joep, think we'll be watching each others Video's for a long time to come,thanks for your ears man,greets Vic.

[joepius]

Likewise, Vic !

[smarthouse59]

Hey Vic, nice goin' ! This kind of jazzy tunes is really soothing. Nice arpeggio's at 2:26. 5*

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Wouter, great having you here, just bought an external hard disc to store Vids (500 GB) getting kinda crowded on my Mac,I'm planning to shoot all further Video's in high resolution,

till wednesday man,greets Vic.

[SabMei1]

Hi Vic,

this was a very nice improvisation. I wish I could do that too. I always have to look on my sheet music. Perhaps you could give me a lesson ;-)?

Sabine

[Jazzguts]

I know what you mean,Sabine when I was going to the conservatory I was staring at Music sheets all the time, then I saw these Jazz Cats playing the most beautiful standards without Sheet-music, I thought I'm going to train mentaly to do that too, visualize all the chords in my brain then put the paper away, it feels much freer and I don't need paper all the time.Greets Vic.

[Justinshort09]

What was your usual practice routine to "visually put those chords in your brain?"

[Jazzguts]

Well Justinshort09, a very interesting question, what I do with a new tune is learn the theme real well (the theme has the form in melodic sense) then I strum the chords and start humming alternative melodies to myself,then I put away the sheet-Music and see if I can go on doing this without paper, then after a few days repeating this process I've internalized the Form of the Music and know it by Heart, Greets Vic.

[crlk]

Yeh yeh Vic, you simply rock.

Always full of emotion, i love it.

Waiting for more interpretations =D

[Jazzguts]

Thanks crik,it's great you mention emotion, that's so very important to me,I mean one can have all this knowledge but if you cannot canalize it in some individual expression,all seems so meaningless, greetings Vic.

[Bulerias2005]

Excellent performance! The improvisation is fantastic, and I love the harmony -- sadly I have not heard the original version, but after hearing yours, I'm definitely going to check it out!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Dave, it's in the line of what you're doing I think,really enjoyed your Jobim (empty Beach), great atmosphere, I love Jobim as a composer. We'll surely keep in touch man,you got loads of talent,I've heard that,greets Vic.

[fredhale]

Vic, thanks for all of your great music. You are a fabulous musician.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Fredhale, much appreciated your great reaction,greetings Vic.

[BodineSpeaks]

Oh, yeah! Nice take on this great tune! That fine improvisation is just rollin' off your fingers. Wonderful!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks my great Amigo, this year we'll continue to have a great time on the Tube, enjoying each others work and hopefully inspiring each other a lot,greets from Holland,Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Daryl,you pinpoint exactly where it's at, phrasing,good and interesting notes and precise rhythm, glad you commented Maestro you're a talented damn good player,great meeting you here, keep in touch,Vic.

[snarfergarfer]

sweet comment,greets Vic.

[justherewatching]

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Mary, it's a good thing this rhythm makes you want to move, and I think your little dog will like it too, I might name another piece: Dancing with dogs,LOL greets Vic.

[Iggypres]

It is a masterpiece played by a real artist with an attitude and understanding towards jazz . Every chord , every note are pure joy to listen to. 5 ***** !!!

Igor Presnyakov

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Igor a real great comment, ansd coming from a real artist like you that really means a lot to me, thanks my friend,all the best, Victor.

[fall0utboy]

very nice video, what amp are you using?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Fallout,look between my replies to Carvetop01,there you can read what I use and how I record,greets Vic.

[stephanegiovannelli]

Hi Vic, I love this tune...Thanks to post it.

Very good melodic phrasing in you guitar solo...Great tune and good ideas developped with a big feeling.

As always Five stars for you*****.

Best.

Stephane.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Stephane, great hearing that from a great player like yourself that really means something to me,always welcome man,Vic.

[freddym223]

beautifully played as always Vic! you never dissappoint us!!! damn! i'm sure i spelled that wrong :-(

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Fred, glad you enjoyed this fine Corea composition,greets Vic.

[kherstrams]

sweet sound, very soothing..great playing, thanks for sharing (5 stars)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks kherstrams, glad you enjoyed my version,greets Vic.

[Kikalani]

Awesome tone and superior playing. Love the bossa nove beat as well. Great!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Chuck and Deb,thanks for always checking me out and commenting,much appreciated,glad you enjoyed this one, greetings Vic.

[vibeman27]

Victor,

Very nice man. Soothing to my ears today. See my urologist and my cardiologist next week. Getting better slowly.  cheers :-)

BruceW

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Bruce,good to hear that things are picking up for you, just keep playing and let Music sooth the Soul man, have a good glas wine on me brother,Till soon all the best,Vic.

[carvetop01]

Excellent arrangement. beautiful harmony, you have a classic jazz tone and delivery. To me the improvised solo fits very nice. It's melodic. There are several lines that imply harmony that is not played. Very clever. Martin Taylor is a master of that also. The line at 1:56 lags slightly behind the beat which is clever. Some of the greatest jazz singers did that also. I have listened to this several times. I can not find anything negative.

VERY well done,

allen

[Jazzguts]

Thanks soo much Allen for taking your time to write such a fantastic comment,really inspiring to me to know you as a person with great love for Music and a very good musician. You mention Martin Taylor he's an absolute killer musician, I love his playing also his harmonized themes. It just entered my mind,you wanted to know through what I play, I go straight into my old little "Spirit-soundcraft" 4 channel mixer, and slightly adjust low's ,mid and high's(EQ) from there into the PC audioport,Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Allen,just reading your comment I overlooked something you mentioned that's interesting, that lick at 1.56 there I play a C triad and D triad against Bb maj,here especially the D triad (D,F#,A notes) gives a very interesting color against the chord,the F# is raised 5 of the Bbmajor7 chord,the C traid has the E as interesting note,the flat 5 of Bbmaj7, I love experimenting with triads,I think your ear grasped that outside sound at that spot. Thanks for sending,Still got the Blues,from Igor,Vic.

[patricegoyaud]

It's an awesome version Vic

Patrice

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Patrice, glad you enjoyed my friend, always welcome,Vic.

[RonenHalsadi]

Great performace. Both, melody and solo are great. You managed to bring good alternative to the pino version, enjoyable one  :)

BTW, how did you create the backing tracks? Ronen

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Ronen, I make my own backing tracks in B.I.B. (band in a box) new version, it's strongly improved,thanks for your ears on this one,greets Vic.

[lp1888]

Amazing version Victor.

You have Passion and quality !!

5stars, Leonard

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Leonard, a comment from the Heart,what else can I desire, greetings Vic.

[taohuan]

i love your guitar

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Taohuan,and I love your comment too,greets Vic.

[mostlybossa]

Loved it ....... played impeccably ! warm regards Domingos

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Domingo's always welcome, thanks for your ears on this one, regards Vic.

[Qpidon]

Vic,

I realy liked this one! some very groovy riff's in there...I will have to play this one again...!

Love,

Pascal

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Pascal, it's a fine composition by Chic Corea and I could improvise on it for hours never getting bored, how can some one get bored making Music? It means the person doesn't have the key to his own Imagination, Greets Vic.

[cataclysmichael]

Nice and relaxing, I like bossa nova :)

[Jazzguts]

Bossa Nova is a great rhythm and very Musical style, full of beautiful chord progressions and melodies,greets Vic.

[jkilcull]

gorgeous...

so is the guitar...

what kind?

do you know "How High the Moon"?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks, jkil.. this is an old "Ibanez GB-20" absolutely love this instrument great feel to it, I know "How high the Moon" might record it sometime,greets Vic.

[geoffpeterstrio]

great!! I love this tune.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Geoffpeters, glad you appreciated my playing,greets Vic.

[JesseGuitar07]

thanks for sharing your music:)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Jesse,I know you're always listening,a fine musician you are with lot's of Heart for the Music,greets Vic.

[RMAN923]

Magic.....Truly superb.....Thanks....Roger

[Jazzguts]

Thanks RMAN, always welcome man,greets Vic.

[pauldil]

Well played Vic. A beautiful song. I've also been working on this tune recently.

Regards,

Paul

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Paul, I agree with you, I used some of your concepts here, combining three melodic minor scales on the 2-5-1 in A-minor(man I learned that from you and I'm really grateful) Do you know the concept of combining three half dim arpeggio's in the case: B (half-dim) D(h-dim) and F#(h-dim) also works great. I'm also wood-shedding lately,so much still to learn man,I need an extra life too,LOL greets Vic.

[pauldil]

Vic, yes, I use that half-dim approach too, cool sound! Also try the same with a major 2-5-1, only using 3 m7 arps, so in C it's Dm7, Fm7,Am7

Best,

Paul.

[johnboytosh]

This is so amazing! 5 stars are not enough to rate you! :D

[Jazzguts]

Thanks johnboy, just fantastic that soo many people are enjoying my Music out there, Greets Vic.

[jimmymccombs]

REAL NICE FRIEND

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Jimmy, always welcome man,greets Vic.

[pickinpop]

it seems you do your best smoothest playing on this guitar , very nice song here the tone of that guitar is so even and mellow

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Pop, I'm a lucky guy to own such an instrument,and as you see I always treat her with love,lol,greets Vic.

[JustSpecialForYou]

That narrow deuxpiece stopped (haha) me from moving with this great piece of music,my friend! Wow, I really have to move with this.

And as always you play it perfect and with great feeling also!

Let me listen one more time!!! :-)

Roeleke :-)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Roeleke ,I picture you movin round with your cats, learning them to appreciate some tight rhythm, yeah have another listen on me and it's special for you,lol greets Vic.

[jwwetzel]

WOW did you get a new camera? the quality is amaaaaazing :D

[Jazzguts]

Thanks James, I'm filming on the highest resolution now, that's advized by YT getting the best Image and sound results 640-480. I'm very pleased with this quality, greets Vic.

[jwwetzel]

yea and the audio sounds great! If you add "&fmt=18" to the URL for this video, just add it to the end of the web address, you'll hear an even MORE clearer stereo rendition, the audio will be CD quality. Sounds very very good my man :)

[Jazzguts]

Thanks for the advice James, man that stereo is awsome, I think this is the utmost I can get out my Mac OS-X with built in camara, now I've milked out all the quality,ha ha, Greets Amigo,Vic.

[renoldg]

Great pleasure to listen to this one.Beautiful chords and improvising and a very nice guitar sound.

Saludos Renold

[Jazzguts]

How you doing renold,long time no hear man,great having you around listening to my Stuff,always welcome amigo,greets Vic.

[cartoonage]

Wonderful guitar , Vic. Sounds great and looks good too!

[Jazzguts]

Yeah Elie,been doing some experimenting with Image and sound improvements, keep in touch man,greets Vic.

[nurikara]

very impressive version really, ill try to work on that and learn something

the version in light as a feather is also among my all time favourites.

and a question:

i found out the chords but how do you approach the song in improvising? Chord by chord or in terms of modes/ modulations? If latter, how many modulations are there in the chord progression?

(sorry if that was malopropos/cheeky, i know noone else personally whom i could ask it to )

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Nurikara, guess I'll have to start giving lectures here on modes , modulations, and Jazz theory as well, I'll send you a mail with the basic Ideas I use,however after all these years of playing I think I'm mixing quite some possible concepts that are applicable,of course complex to explain in a few words,we'll keep in touch,Vic.
