It don`t mean a thing

[appetitefordynamite]

I think I've listened to this over one hundred times and it still makes me grin ear to ear and want to dance like a fool. You're playing brings me much JOY! I think I'll check out I've got a woman now. Thanks a million Martin.

You GuYs! I would've paid if you'd been charging money. I think you guys go way beyond the money..Chester lives cos u play :) One day we will play together I hope..we virtually do now :>) LoVe is all You need. Keep on picking_JKL

[appetitefordynamite]

1:15 -1:18 gave me goose bumps for real.

[appetitefordynamite]

OH JOY!!!

[toetapper04]

That was fun and a fine performance. I will adjure you as I do my students..."Stop looking at your hands!".

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment.

[nowbehere]

That is just great. I really like that long arpeggio in the middle and at the end. You have a lot of Chet's tunes down to perfection, probably better than anyone else I have heard play them, and I've always loved his arrangements. Thanks for posting all these.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for the kind words.

Nice job on a tricky tune, I used to use just my finger tips too, but had to start using finger picks now that I'm a senior citizen, as fingertips wear out to & get sore, so I switched... Don

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for your kind post; Don.

[MMISSOURICLEM]

I really appreciate your posting this video. Thanks to you, and your letting the fingerboard and fingers show I am learning to play "It Don't Mean a Thing." It gives me a great feelling each time I play it. You;ve made a pleasant contribution to my playing, and thus to my life. Thanks.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for the kind words, buddy.

Martin

[Mercury6]

Lovely!

Could you tell me what thumb pick you are using?

Thanks.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching and your kind comment. I use Fred Kelly speed picks (white) and sometimes slick picks (orange).

Martin

[Mercury6]

Thanks Martin.

Are you also using finger picks?

[BoeckmannLudwig]

I play with my fingertips and keep my nails short

(no fingerpicks).

Thanks

Like hearing Chet play it himself. One of my favourites too.

Personally I think you should a bit more bass in there like you did around 01:30

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks for watching

Toll, das hätte Chet himself auch nicht besser gemacht!
