[rgilchrist4]

I never tire of listening to your playing, and I am always amazed at how effortless it appears. If I could buy that ability, I would sell everything I own to get it.

[pauldil]

@rgilchrist4 Thanks a lot!  Very kind of you!

Hi Paul. Haven't signed on for a while. Haven't heard your Desafinado before and made it a project to learn. Great arrangement and improv.  Regards, Jack.

[pauldil]

Thanks Dallas! I'm using .12's as well, D'Addario flatwounds.

[SUNNYD3322]

Crystal clear melodic lines. Well done!

[pauldil]

[crwin1071]

Perfect, awosome, I really enjoy the way you playing, keep in tune........

[pauldil]

Thanks a lot!

[buttcheekwarrior]

what scale are you playing?

[pauldil]

There would be more than just one scale involved, and on this tune I used major, whole tone and melodic minor scales, but I don't really think in terms of scales. It's hard to explain briefly, but I think of chord tones more than scales.

Paul

[AmundLauritzen]

Very nice lines! The feel is just perfect.

Antonio would be proud.

[pauldil]

Thanks again, Amund!

[clhgr15]

Paul

[cogiteight]

Very, very nice playing - smooth, tasteful, soulful, and that's coming from a guy about your age who's been laying since age 17. Nice job on a classic GB favorite GB. Did you study formally and if so where?

[pauldil]

Thanks a lot cogiteight. I've taken lessons on and off since I first started playing. I attended GIT back in '77 when it first opened.

Regards, Paul

[bandacandiera]

[Jazzguts]

Small philosophy here Paul,this stuff of yours is so good, that one can easily come back a few times and enjoy yourself again and again, now isn't that a sign of interesting Music? Pure melody made in the moment,greets Victor.

[pauldil]

You're way too kind Victor :) Thanks!

Paul

[besserodrigues]

Paul. Tudo de bom.

Você toca muito bem, até o suing é o mesmo da bossa nova. Só falta ser brasileiro.

Parabéns!

Paul. Everything of good.

You play very well, until the swing it is the same of the bossa nova. Only lack to be Brazilian.

Congratulations!

[pauldil]

Obrigado muito besserodrigues. Eu aprecio realmente seus comentários!

Paul

[jacquillo]

beautiful tone and style !!! ***** Se você disser que eu desafino amor Saiba que isso em mim provoca imensa dor Só privilegiados têm ouvido igual ao seu Eu possuo apenas o que Deus me deu Se você insiste em classificar Meu comportamento de anti-musical Eu mesmo mentindo devo argumentar Que isto é bossa-nova, isto é muito natural O que você não sabe nem sequer pressente É que os desafinados também têm um coração

[dziepiejazz]

Very good playing, great feeling and a very nice tone. Wishing you all the best for 2008.

Greetings, Dziepie

[pauldil]

Dziepie, thank you very much! All the best to you too!

Paul

[Chordwayze]

Great tone, smooth swinging beat and not a note out of place. A lovely improvisation on one of Jobim's best. Classic Paul. Lovely playing. I hope you had a great Christmas and here's to a Good New Year for you and yours.

John

[pauldil]

John, thank you for those kind words. Wishing you a great 2008!

Paul

[JogiBass]

Great impro, very smooth, nice sense of melody, and what a goot time! Big hand for you! Greetings from Switzerland, Jogi

[pauldil]

Jogi, thank you! I've been checking out your flagstaff videos as well as your duos with Pat. Really looking forward to hearing more of your music!

Paul

[JogiBass]

You honour me, man! Please check out the Flagstaffjazz Website, also, for our actual sound.

By the way: We have a similar story: I didn't play for a full 10 years. Then the basses found me again in 2002.

[violaozim]

I don't know how you do this but its just great, fun playing, up and down the guitar's arm, and closed eyes too :)

[pauldil]

Thanks a lot, violazim! I try not to think too much when I play. Sometimes it shows :)

By the way, that Raphael Rabello video on your page is incredible!!

Regards,

Paul
