More than Words.

[CatGoesBOOM]

awesome

[RuntLaLaLa]

This is beautiful ^-^



[jmbgouveia]

I actualy enjoy it better than when Nuno Bettencourt played. Great inspiration to create a tune like this one isnt it?!!!

[Jazzguts]

@jmbgouveia You bet it is Joao and the thing is: I think melody,bass and harmony at the same time,lol,greetings Vic.

[jmbgouveia]

If one day I decide to learn a tune fingers style, this is gonna be the one I start with. Great performance Victor. Regards

[Jazzguts]

@jmbgouveia OK good news,but don't forget to order my nice worked out Tabs then you'll be supporting me a little too,lol,Vic.

[GuenterGeurts]

Hi Vic, das ist gut! Ich liebe diesen Song.

All the best, Guenter

[Jazzguts]

@GuenterGeurts Danke Guenter,glad you enjoyed, maybe Holland against Germany? You guys are playing great,Vic.

[GuenterGeurts]

@Jazzguts

I hope Vic. That's a dream.

[HellGriff]

Always great to hear another one from you :)

[Jazzguts]

@HellGriff Thanks glad you enjoyed,Vic.

[jmbgouveia]

fingers style is beautiful so do you

[Jazzguts]

@jmbgouveia thanks Joao, glad you liked it,Vic.

[marcmickey]

sounds great my friend

[Jazzguts]

@marcmickey Thanks a lot Amigo,Vic.

[HanzP]

Hi Vic, this really is a wonderful arrangement,

great playing and marvelous sound!

Bravo! I like it!

Greets, Hansel

[Jazzguts]

@HanzP Glad you enjoyed,keep your eyes and ears pealed for a new Blues coming up,Vic.

[francoprs]

That's very sweet Vic!

I hadn't heard this song in a while... you did a fantastic job on the finger style. I only wish that one day I too can do finger picking. I guess is like my "vibrato" challenge... but I think that I am getting there now.

I look back on my first videos and I get reminded that it is all about dedication.

Thanks YT for allowing people to have "video diaries"... well... that is, until YT decide to cancel and delete somebody's account! :~(

Best regards,

Franco

[Jazzguts]

@francoprs Thanks Franco, glad you liked this one, it's a good composition and those I enjoy working out. If you want to hear Blues-Vibrato check out my newest tune I'm going to upload "Born under a Bad Sign" also listen to Albert King's vibrato and you'll learn a whole lot,incredible those old Blues men had it all down man. Certainly it's bout dedication, a marriage with Music is not an easy one, it's more demanding then a beautiful lady,lol, Vic.

[sabaqat]

guitar playing is awesome, and nice recording equipment. i like your guitar, what kind is it?

[Jazzguts]

@sabaqat Thanks the brand is in the info-line under the Video,glad you enjoyed.Vic.

[freddym223]

nice Vic ! don't know this one.i'm out of the loop :-( i like the classical feel though and the cean playing

[Jazzguts]

@freddym223 Thanks Fred,it's a quite popular song from some years ago and I liked the theme and progression,greetings Vic.

[MrMichehl]

Yes ! !  Super ! ! !

[Jazzguts]

@MrMichehl Thanks for your enthusiasm,great,Vic.

[onebocawoman]

Hi there, Vic! This is just wonderful...always a joy to listen and watch! Awesome arrangement and feeling in your playing! Thanks for posting! Have a super week!

Hugs, Linda

[Jazzguts]

@onebocawoman Thanks Linda,glad you enjoyed and I enjoyed watching your Dance video Terry made, great pictures looking very passionate on the ball room floor,those must have been great times,dancing the Nights away, hug Vic.

[archtopbrownie]

Just a few words about "More than Words".... well done. :o)

[Jazzguts]

@archtopbrownie Thanks Lance, you still used some words, LOL, :0) Vic.

[willybass123]

You played it awesome Vic!!!!

Nuno had some great ideas in his compositions.

Bill

[Jazzguts]

@willybass123 Thanks, Nuno surely did know his Classics, that's for sure,Vic.

[Keesfarida]

Hoi Vic alweer een nieuw moppie,ik kan dat tempo van jou niet bijhouden joh, dat nummer zit geraffineerd inelkaar, en altijd een goed geluid ,heel clean gespeeld,mijn compliment hoor,groetjes uit Rotterdam ,Kees.

[Jazzguts]

@Keesfarida dank je Kees, als ik alleen een schnabbel heb dan speel ik hem altijd dus ik dacht ik neem hem maar voor de Tube op,groetjes Vic.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Just a few days a friend of mine and I thought about this wonderful song - and now you're presenting this fantastic solo guitar version! That's thought-transmission :-)))

Great arrangement, Vic! All thumbs up!

Cheers,

Bernd

[Jazzguts]

@BoeckmannLudwig Thanks Bernd I had this one for a while playing on solo-gigs and thought it's a great tune to present on YT,thanks man,don't let me stop you guys from doing your version,cheers Vic.

[peterqb24]

Wonderful !

[Jazzguts]

@peterqb24 Thanks Peter,always welcome,Vic.

[CountryWesternGal]

Hello Vic.....

What A Beautiful Upload

Really Well Played As Always

My Sweet Friend Two Big Thumb's Up

~Love N Hugs From Patricia~

[Jazzguts]

@CountryWesternGal Thanks Pat for your always great and involved commenting really appreciate that,hug Vic.

[carvetop01]

Vic,

Another great arrangement from you. I like the rhythm in this performance. Your playing is very clean (as usual). I like the timbre of your guitar as well. The mid-range helps to "punch" the rhythm.

I'm also glad to see that you are finally asking to be compensated for your arrangements. You have been giving away free lessons and music since I have know you. Many of your arrangements and performances are master classes in themselves. You drop little pearls of wisdom for those who look.

[Jazzguts]

@carvetop01 Thanks so much for your very wise comment Allen, I can see you're a fantastic listener because all you say is true. And as for the arrangements,many guys approach me for Tabs (scores) but they want them for free I'm not in that bag anymore, it's too much work to give it all away for free besides I'll be spoiling those guys to the bone,lol,Vic.

[ClaudeSirois]

Very nice arrangement & playing.

Thumbs up 4U Victor

[Jazzguts]

@ClaudeSirois Thanks Claude great coming from you,hope all's well,Vic.

[1wiesehoefer1]

very well, vic, must say that i didnt knew betancourt - shame on me - and all the stars for you*************

[Jazzguts]

@1wiesehoefer1 Well Friedl, you know I give lessons so I keep track of lot's of Stuff that's going on nowadays,this doesn't mean the old Stuff isn't good material,because it is,Vic.

[chezruss]

Vic

i love your guitar playing, and was interested to see you re selling the score to More than words.. so i clicked on the link to go to yr site - but it says Lessons Underconstruction and i couldnt find the score anywhere else. any help would be appreciated - thanks

[Jazzguts]

@chezruss Thanks for the interest,I'll send you my Tutorial, so you can see my repertoire that I have scored and is available ,Vic.

[LONGWINDING]

Hi Vic, what a beautiful arrangement of this tune. Yes, many students like to play this one (not easy to sing the bridge, by the way;-)) - so here the folks have the chance to buy a nice arrangement! It´s worth every note!

I like it when you play the acoustic most. So clear in sound, and perfect in technique!

Liebe Grüße, Frank ;-)

[Jazzguts]

@LONGWINDING Thanks Frank,I said to myself against all oppression of people who expect everything for free I'll continue to score all my Stuff,if I can't sell them I have them neatly worked out for my Students anyway,who are very glad with these neat Guitarpro5.3 scores.I'm not giving in giving away all my arrangements for free,there's simply too much labor involved, I don't understand folks who do so,they're very un-businesslike . Thanks for your very encouraging words, all the best,Vic.

[trycom88]

Great job again Vic, love the song and love your arrangement

[Jazzguts]

@trycom88 Thanks a lot,it's great all these wonderful reactions. Vic.

[carlos13190]

so beautifull vic

thanks a lot

[Jazzguts]

@carlos13190 Thanks Carlos,hope all's well,Vic.

[abhikmazumder]

Wow! What a treat! Your bassline was so impressive that it almost sounded like two guitars playing. Terrific arrangement and playing!

[Jazzguts]

@abhikmazumder Thanks brother,yes the bass-line is very important,I love chord inversions,something I learned from listening to Bach and The Beatles.A good chosen bass note changes the whole atmosphere, you've got musical ears,Vic.

[victor038]

pasame las tablaturas

[Jazzguts]

@victor038 Si quires pagar algo para mi trabajo lo te mando una lista con todo los canciones,saludos Vic.

[gucholnegro]

another beutiful playing

[Jazzguts]

@gucholnegro Thanks for your enthusiasm,Vic.

[itsranton]

Love this song man. great job

[Jazzguts]

@itsranton Thanks for your great reaction,Vic.

[Mariekesone]

Very Fine playing...no wonder its requested a lot from you...

You must be a big inspiration to many guitarists on Yt:-)

Ik wens je een prettig weekend toe,

xRineke.

[Jazzguts]

@Mariekesone Thanks Rineke, judging all the reactions from across the Globe I think you're right. People (musicians) shouldn't forget I was busy years before the Internet period,studying and training every day. Now I sometimes have the impression people think they can have everything by pressing a few knobs,this doesn't work for Music,it's back to the school benches with discipline,Vic.

[sunriverperson]

Victor,

Beautiful acoustic melody, you play that genre so well. Sometimes I can hear a beat in my head, but I usually don't have the same mastery of tempo like you when I try to play. Maybe someday the beat and the playing will come together. Beautiful tune to play to as well. Thanks.

Rich

[Jazzguts]

@sunriverperson Great you mention that of the Beat, I've trained myself very hard at that point to continuously follow my built-in metronome,mostly tapping my foot to the basic beat. This is certainly trainable for every body once you put your mind to it,all the best Rich,Vic.

[puika1987]

Very nice arrangement. Your a great player. All the best to you

[Jazzguts]

@puika1987 Thanks for your fine reaction,and always very welcome, Vic.

[dennisisms]

The harmonies in that song are so "Beatle-ish,

Thanks again

[Jazzguts]

@dennisisms You know your Classics, and as a Beatles-analyzer I know what You mean. Paul Mc Cartney, the King of chord inversions,his bass parts are a melody on themselves, very creative,I'm glad I was raised on that sound (among others),Vic.

[dennisisms]

Pretty, pretty song, made even prettier

[Jazzguts]

@dennisisms Thanks Dennis, Nuno Betancourt sure knew how to write a decent tune man, this one's pure Gold,thanks for tuning in,Vic.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Vic A Joy and a blessing hearing you play..

Hey !! Your shirt looks like an " Aloha Shirt" .. COOL !!

[Jazzguts]

@SIRONEDRAGON Thanks Ken it's a summer day here and then I'm always feeling good in the sunshine. I know what you mean bout the shirt,indeed kind of "Aloha".I see you wearing them a lot too,LOL,thanks Brother,Vic.

[AlexisGuitar94]

@Jazzguts haha a "summer day" in Montreal it's rainning and it's very cold :P

Awesome song Vic!

[Jazzguts]

@AlexisGuitar94 Too bad for you brother, I pick the day when the sunshine wakes me and the second thing is play my guitar,lol,Vic.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

@SIRONEDRAGON You made the tune even cooler with that shirt.. LOL ..

[SabMei1]

Really fine arranged and played, Vic!

Enjoyed your music and good mood.

I try to learn the percussion beats on the strings. It´s not that easy to attach it into the melody. But yours are perfect!

Big summer hug - Sabine

[Jazzguts]

@SabMei1 Thanks Sabine, for your lovely comment, in my head I always hear the back-beat of the snare drum and in certain tunes the percussion beat create that swing I love so much. especially the Intro here has that lovely syncopation. I always say: A guitarist should be a little drummer as well,LOL, big hug Vic.

[Jazzguts]

@StratBurns Thanks William, I see you front row brother in a cheerful mood,greetings Vic.

[turkamine]

Outstanding again Vic.

[Jazzguts]

@turkamine Thanks man for always being here,Vic.

[jreichbart]

Great! I was thinking of uploading this tune myself but no point now...

[Jazzguts]

@jreichbart Thanks Jake, that's a great compliment brother from a very good fellow picker,all the best,Vic.

[miulum]

[Harky1951]

Another great upload. You can play the heck out of any style Vic. Hey....love the shirt!!! It seems to go with your cheery persona. Your selections always put a smile on my face.

Pam

[Jazzguts]

@Harky1951 Thanks Pam, it's good weather here and I thought this shirt goes good with this tune and the weather,great combination,Vic.

[Harky1951]

@Jazzguts No wonder you sound so incredible. You have a great attitude about life in general I think. If we were on the same half of the world, I would certainly take some guitar lessons from you!!!! You would have your work cut out for you though!. LOL

[donPabloArturo]

Good Afternoon Victor

Music saying more than words. Great interpretation.
