Georgia On My Mind - Acoustic Guitar Solo Jazz Improvisation

[pauldeasy123]

Sexy Guitar is what I would call that.. Very Nice mate



[MarkPhelan1]

That was sweet. Like nectar of the Gods my friend...

[Sammisysta]

Beautiful job.

Thank you for sharing.

[maiasomer]

a great low profile guy! I would like to know his name. A great guitar player! wonderful!

[edudzzaj]

@maiasomer Thank you very much. The first 2 tags on the video are my name :)

Maybe I should upload something new one of these days, haven't done so in a long while now.

[maiasomer]

@edudzzaj Thank you for answer. I'm a guitar player too, since my 4 years old and i'm 55 now. I love this music...and I love Stanley Jordan's version. Your version is too important and cool...pay it more!

[MrBlainehelm]

DUDE! Could u make a tutorial vid for this please????

[edudzzaj]

@MrBlainehelm I am a really horrible teacher, I tried doing a tutorial, but end up trying to cover every detail and end up "...oh I been talking for 10 minutes and most of it was rubbish."

Also short of writing full tabs, there would be a bit of chord theory to cover, which I'm not really good at either. I will try do a video showing some of the basic licks etc tho since a few asked :)

[SetMiner]

What mic is that ?



[Myoldcountry1]

i was deeply moved by this

[edudzzaj]

@Myoldcountry1 wow, thanks :)

[henkjansart]

very nice

[ProfessorNguyen]

you sex machine you

[scottymaxxx]

WOW....great....now i need to play more........marvelous. INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!

thanks for that.

[Praclik22]

What an adorable work man! That´s why i love acoustic jazz, you can hear every bend, crack and sound. Really enjoyable man, great arrangement, nice feel. What an inspiration to practice! Thanks again,

B.

[edudzzaj]

@Praclik22 Thanks, great comment. Myself I been more into electric guitars lately, but you defined the qualities I love about acoustics really well in that sentence :)

That it inspires you to practise is the best compliment of all! Thanks for listening and commenting.

[Uvve123]

Haha, how could you dislike this? :O

[oOSgtPeppersOo]

Its often useful to keep in mind to perform the 'Song' and play around it, don't let it get lost amongst noodling

[horbergaren]

is that a martin dx1r?

[edudzzaj]

@horbergaren It's a Martin D-1, from one of the early batches with laminate sides not solid sides like the current ones. However, I have compared it to d-18s, d-28's, gibson acoustics, taylors, etc and I wouldn't swap this axe for any of them.

[horbergaren]

@edudzzaj yeah, martins are the best, i have a dx1-r

[subbotniki]

Simply fantastic. Love it!

[horbergaren]

how the hell did you do that

[edudzzaj]

@horbergaren do what :)

[bilbonks2004]

Hey man great work.. It's inspiring to see people turning old classics in to their own personal versions :) Keep up the good work!

[edudzzaj]

@bilbonks2004 Hey, thanks for that, and for sub - glad to have ya.

[tonypadrone1]

Charlie Manson you have been practicing...........a long time I presume!

[edudzzaj]

@tonypadrone1 Yea I try to squeeze in some practise time between the culties.

[littlemanmays1187]

Wow man that was great....would you put up a video of some of those licks that you play in that they are so smooth....

[edudzzaj]

@littlemanmays1187 Hey thanks alot, and sure - I will do that. A few people asked now so I will do a video soon showing some useful licks. My laptop broke so I haven't been uploading anything for a while, but I recently got some new gear to sort that. Thanks for watching and subbing :)

[edudzzaj]

@Strongbanana A condenser and a little stereo reverb etc helps yes, but the guitar sounds pretty damn good in itself.

[blizake2000]

Porta Pros FTW

[edudzzaj]

@blizake2000 Haha yea I used them in my videos for monitoring sound because they were the only headphones I had. As monitoring headphones, though, they are not very good, so they were replaced by a nice set of Sennheisers for that purpose.

[blizake2000]

@edudzzaj I just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD595

[edudzzaj]

@blizake2000 Nice :) My HD280pro's aren't bad, chances are your 595's sound better than mine though, if for no other reason cause they are an "open" headset, I needed a closed headset to eliminate monitor sound bleeding into my microphone when recording.

[davetoo100]

So get on with it... got fed up a couple minutes in

[edudzzaj]

@davetoo100 video reply me your take on it.

[helloween21]

nice play!!!

[MalfoysMuppetMates]

I thought I was getting good at guitar, but you've just put me in my place :P

[edudzzaj]

@MalfoysMuppetMates Music is a never ending learning experience :)

[markgalloway]

A new subscriber here.

[lneme]

AMAZING!!!

[theoak84]

this was very sweet playing. smooth and flowing, and just the right amount of flavor.

[johnbohlinger]

cool. Dig you style

[tbon3r301]

THAT GUITARS GOT AMAZING SOUND

[edudzzaj]

@tbon3r301 Yup, it's a "cheap" Martin, but it still kicks ass :)

[Gibson0918]

very very nice

[edudzzaj]

hehe the webcam is mounted on my laptop screen, and I was looking at the screen ;)

[RickInRock84]

Beautiful..great skills..

[FingerPickenFun]

Grreat job ! Different chord placings within the structure of the tune. Real nice job! Clean -up your runs so the notes are noticeable during your stagatto runs and you would have a masterpiece for sure! Take care!

[Crainey45]

I lovee this mellow sound

[sayalaperbandel]

it was boring

[CormacGuitar]

it would be better if you could elaborate on why it was boring : / I rather enjoyed it.

[maneli]

beautiful take on this one man!

[joako122354porlo]

this is really good y really feal it :P great musician congrats !=D

[SmalltimR]

Ah man I'm totally feeling this...

Great vibe and great transitions...

Thx for a good time.

Please post more.

[edvinaaa]

I can not call this jazz

[mpeter8]

it still is ;) georgia is an old jazz standard...

[AntiJoanna]

why do the bearded ones have all the skill? Like Samson methinks.

[amerikanprincess]

Nice chords and leads. Nice Martin too. I especially like the last rephrasing where the chords and leads come together. "jazzdude" backwards, that's a hot handle! :)

[edudzzaj]

that last rephrasing you mention I stole from John Scofield ;)

thanks

[dern89]

good shit man. well done!

[keiichixpp]

いいなあ。とてもいい。

[edudzzaj]

[eenhoopzever]

GREAT playing! Do you have tabs or something?

[edudzzaj]

Thanks :)

Sorry don't have tabs or I'd send you.

[dreaminglad]

great playing bro !!

[sabian545]

sounds great

[bigdash]

Great feel and articulation without loosing a sense of warmth and emotion.

[sumss]

I must say it makes me want to break out my acoustic again and play some soul like that

Great work!

[RojazzBG]

fantastic! and love the screen name (guessing it'a a reference to emanon)

[edudzzaj]

Glad you like it.

I'm not sure what you mean by emanon (apart from being noname backwards, a rap group, a cafe and a ton of other things, according to google) I was just fed up with tryin to find a screen name and I like gnellips sdrawkcab anyway so :)

[RojazzBG]

originally, it's the name of a jazz tune by dizzy gillespie

[edudzzaj]

Oh ok, hey thats cool I didn't know there was any sdradnats zzaj sdrawkcab :) I'll have to look it up now.

[RojazzBG]

haha :-) definitely do, it's pretty sweet... i mean, s'ti ytterp teews

[RojazzBG]

fantastic! and love the screen name (guessing it's a little reference to emanon)

[cruiserc57d]

Very, very nice... I wish I could play guitar like that!

[edudzzaj]

You probably could with practise. The really hard part is learning to make the silly faces while playing :)

[Bluesguitarman64]

I like it. Beautiful feeling!

(Rob from Italy)

[edudzzaj]

Thank you

[TakingBackRay]

Beautiful.

[edudzzaj]

Thanks :)

[pickinpop]

absolutely the best version of all time, you have inspired me to learn some new chord shapes and voicings so i can improve my version here on youtube, thanks so much for posting this

[edudzzaj]

wow thats high praise, glad you find it inspiring, been checking out alot of your videos, you guys play lot of nice stuff there!

[streifenfrei333]

amazing... i cant stop listening. wich mic are you using for recording? greets from vienna/austria/europe ;-)

[edudzzaj]

Thanks glad you like it, hi to you from Norway :)

The mic is a TSM MT87S, looks expensive but its pretty cheap and decent sounding, good value buy.

[neatfreeek]

wow wow we wow, the sound is great.

[edudzzaj]

glad you like it :)

[VickyMaldives]

Yay, wonder if you still remember the lyrics. Without drinking coffee because you know that with coffee is just cheating :P

dunno it helps me remember stuff.. but maybe its just an excuse

[edudzzaj]

I cheat, I have the lyrics written down ;)

[atiram80]

Love it ;-)

[edudzzaj]

Thanks ;)
