TARO is a fine musician, & a better player than me,.....but this doesn't swing - and all Jazz must swing. It's an exercise in technique to me. Metheny's original version has warmth & a gentle swing which makes it more musical.
@wartree This is a great guitar, it's just tuned REALLY low. Most baritone guitars set their lowest strings at either an A (so ADGCEA) or a B (BEADF#B), his is set at a G (GCFBbDG), so this is just so bass-y that it muddies the sound. Also, Pat Metheny plays it in Nashville tuning (the two middle strings tuned up an octave) which Taro chose not to do. The higher octaves add some clarity also.
@drien0011 you play good though

headphones are very important when you play alone on an acoustic guitar

Still, he's playing the song really well.
