Smooth Improv #7

[JBeezie428]

[theonemodifier]

tone & taste,what else do you need?

[21ECUS]

Extra !!!Bravo!! et merci pour les idées Claude

[MrdacPrdeli]

kaufland music :D :D



[aleksandersucharski]

the tone is gorgeous.

[vladimirem1950]

Хорошее легато и вибрации. Плавность изложения достойна восхищения

[ilovebluessolos]

OH MY GOD! Could you PLEASE tell me what guitar that is? I mean, the SOUND!!!

[0113roland]

Nagyon szuper ,nagyon szeretem hallgatni teljesen megnyugtat.

[gpoop23]

Curse me and my stupid teenage mind buying a piece of crap metal guitar. I could of got so much more out of a decent jazz guitar, but spikes and horns and that pretentious punk saleswoman distracted me.

[hiphopsucks96]

I noticed everyone is picking on the shredders, telling them to "slow down and feel what they're playing." Well, the shred is what sets jazz and hard rock apart. Let shredders be shredders, alot of the time they put alot of work into their technique, and those players do feel what they're playing. Need I remind all of you that this is a jazz video? There are greats like george benson that play crazy fast. Should we pick on them? No. Let jazz be jazz, let shred be shred. End of story.

@hiphopsucks96 THANK YOU

[danukenator123]

@hiphopsucks96 Amen

[tomsutey]

[DozAldako]

eargasm :)

[WilburyVision]

Beautiful playing , gorgeous sound.

[specc94]

Ear orgasm! really good.

[xXstiffllerXx]

this is amazing

[mikecazzx]

Peerless guitar lookm great, but I do not think it's possible for a company to make an UGLIER headstock.

[BuddLightbrain]

@mikecazzx Other Jazz guitars are like this, straying away from the Gibson type which I find the most aesthetically pleasing. I prefer this than to the headstock that starts wide near the fret board and narrows at the end. If you are into the music rather than the looks it matters not what the guitar looks like, see ya point though!

[gpoop23]

@mikecazzx Really? I kinda like it. Has a sorta unusual, artistic look to it but isn't too alien.

[slickjames1]

do u have a cd?

[cluke90]

great sound

[RichGirI]

the guitar sounds too woodie should try gibson es175

[ZappaBlues]

What is your setup to get that wonderful tone? Thanks.

[Situious]

This is pretty basic jazz, I don't know why everyone raves about this guy, there are many jam guitarists better than this.

[Vahnkilone]

From one metal guitarist to all others... This is our roots, this is where shredding originated... And this is STILL the nicest version.

[TheGuitarFreakk]

You are so right.

[reptilicus]

@Vahnkilone You couldn't play jazz if your life depended on it. "Our roots". Yeah right, dinkus.

[MDABE80]

Oh...so sweet......so tasty.....when I was younger.....before the hearts I fixed....5000 in all...just so fine this guy...:)....like djk..makes me smile...

[exposurejd]

Amen, "Dictum1"!!!! Shredders take note!...Very nicely played...

Respect & Peace To All...

[acodaniel1]

Great sound of your guitar there.

[Dictum1]

Shredders, Sit up and pay attention....Less is more.

[Trixterzzzz]

@Dictum1 I agree that shedders need to slow down and feel what there playing, but what i really love it when you go from a slow tempo to a fast one and back down i think sounds really nice. Im not saying that your comment is bad it is a very good point but it dosent all just have to be all slow it can go up and down to make it more of a veriaty =)

[danukenator123]

@Dictum1 Completely false. Playing slow =\= more emotions. Playing fast =\= emotionless. Lane, Holdsworth, Marshall, Duane, Benson can all shred and strike an emotion (pun intended) chord. I've seen fast nonsense and slow dreck. Its all about the feeling put behind the writing not the speed its played at.

[jazzdings]

Wie geil ist das denn? Hut ab!

[Gibson0918]

BRILLIANT

[jasscat01]

Man, I love this arrangement; It is my style of playing.

Jazzy B

[sollinkmaster]

very good.

[Flavorbaby]

Nice playing, brotha.

[djksolo]

this just put a BIG smile on my face, thanks for posting this wonderfull piece. ;-)

[tenorbanjoguy]

Speechless! Simply gorgeous playing!

[yinx1]

Awesome Playing

[Carnage028]

[arcainjust]

[silvercresent1]

[LiquidGenerationBand]

[RANWIL13]

[idkyoo]

[nebolg66]

I don't like jazz, but this guy made me love it!

[SpeedPic2782]

man, u have a hell of a touching vaness with that axe

[bigcv0921]

man this man is awsome, this song really relaxes me =)

[WitmerXL]

I could listen to this stuff all day. Im into heavy metal, but I also love this kind of jazz :p

[FFXGuitar]

same metallica is my fave band of all time!

but this stuff is amazing

[silvercresent1]

Ditto. I love KoRn and deathklok. this is comforting tho.

[jacobcs]

@WitmerXL funny how after youve listened to metal for a certain period of time your views on music in general change, no? i was a metal head (still love it) for years, now im attending college to study performance in classical guitar. i love this stuff.

[firstactfan]

@WitmerXL Im a huge metal head too but this stuff is almost more entertaining than that to me.

[arturo1709]

soooo sweet!!!!!

nice smooth jazz

[Nickibal]

This tune is awesome Matt, so sweet and beautiful. Where are you located? Where do you play? I would love to come to a show.

[XimheartbrokenXX]

You are an amazing player and writer, i must say

[hopediamond4real]

Did you study Wes Montgomery? You have a similar style, and coming from me, that is a HIGH compliment, because not many out there can even come close! You are sounding good.

[EDWANN]

Fantastic ! C'est trés bien jouer,cette mélodie est magnifique.

Est ce une compos ou une reprise?

C'est tout à fait dans le style Benson on dirait.

En tout cas Bravo !

[ThrashMetal]

you're really good. you deserve great success. best of luck to you, matt.

[gapgaplatido]

i loved it!! but i have a question, when u write this kind of music, do u have the melody first or the harmony first??

[Julian2Sounds]

this is awesome. is the backing track available at all?

[michael7d7]

another great one matt!

[elevn7]

very nice Matt. always a pleasure listening

to you.

[BocaFriend]

This is exquisite, Matt. From the solo intro, to the unfolding of a musical story. Each time I listen, there are new characters and settings to discover. If any authors have writer's block, this might be their antidote! Inspiring.

[johnhorneguitar]

You get the best tone! Very confident and relaxed performance, nice.
