  • Jake, have you made a CD of all this beautiful music you're making? Because I would definitely pick it up, as I'm sure many here would. This is such a beautiful song and your choices on it have made it only better. I love your playing, (and I am a guitarist). It's just wonderful.

  • I can't believe how smoothly that went. I'm astounded by your playing. Guitar music has never really been my thing, but the way you play strikes those 'chords' you might say, in everyone's heart and souls. So rich, fluid and full sounding, of exquisite song choices right to complete detail. Amazing! <:P

  • OMG!! I really love this song

  • Great job!!

  • I'll use this song as a springboard to compliment you not only on your fluid playing skills, but your awesome choice in your 70's mellow soul selectons, this selection included. Bravissimo!

  • Thanks! Two things: I can take any 10-18 songs from my channel and put high quality wave files on a CD for you. 15 bucks plus s&h. Also, it just so happens that I finally posted my official CD "16 Songs" on CD Baby. Go there and search my last name, reichbart, when the CD comes up you can sample all the songs. Thanks again!

  • Excellent arrangement- I'm in the process of watching all your videos now.

    I am curious: why does your bridge pick-up have tape over it?

  • Thanks! Nothing mysterious, my neck pu broke so I moved the bridge pu over then just covered the hole... one of the controls broke too that's covered as well. I also have a piezzo pu so that's got a bunch of blue tape to hold it.

  • Beautiful rendition. Great chords!

  • I play the saxophone, and through learning my instrument and understanding music, I've felt less satisfied with it. Nothing is impressive to me much anymore, because I can point out imperfections pretty decently. You, my friend, achieve perfection. I love it.

  • You are very kind, thank you!

  • Jake...you are are an amazing talent. You are blessed, sir. You have inspired me to work harder at my craft.  I don't play the guitar, but am a singer, and you really inspire me to become better. Thank you for sharing your music.
