I have re-cast this same video with notation in HIGH DEFINITION mode at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8txTc2z68c&feature=channel_page
This is much improved in quality.
This is 3 play-throughs of this Gershwin song improvised from the basic leadsheet- played very straight, with a variety of harmonies, and styles. Unfortunately some of the comments are unreadable so for anyone interested, this video, with clearer text, and the midi file recorded as this was video-ed are at my homepage at

Play the midi file in a suitable program (the free Vanbasco's Karaoke player for example) to slow things down or see more clearly the notes being played on a keyboard.

  • The link to you midi file no longer works. Any chance you could Post it again. Nice work by the way.

  • Thanks for the coment - and thanks for pointing out the problem with the link. I have corrected this - but better still, I have taken this video and re-cast it with scrolling notation and clear piano view in HIGH DEFINITION mode. See the 'More Info.. ' button above to link to it.

  • It is good to hear your play. You should write a music jazz book.

    Bingo sir. I play a 4-string acoustic bass and cannot get all or even many of Doug's voicings, but like you I learn from listening.

    C> Thanks Doug. This is what You-tube was devised for.

    Indeed sir.

  • i love this so much

  • Always love the way you play your songs.

  • SPEECHLESS!

  • Love the 'Gershwin' sound, on the opening few bars. This is the first song I learned to play 'Chord-solo' on the guitar. I can't get all your voicings with six strings, but I have learned a lot from listening and reading the notes you post. Thanks Doug. This is what You-tube was devised for.

  • Man, I love your stuff. I learn something from every post. Thanks ...

  • "embrace me, my sweet embracable you" love this tune.
