I'm a 17 year old boy from Spain that plays this song at music lessons at the moment and with your video I was able to write a walking (I play bass guitar) and I can play over your tune and also practice and improve it. Thanks a lot, this video help me a lot, great job!
Thanks Pop everything with is getting old but you know what,those old Jazz tunes are composed so great,so this old guitar goes well with old Music but with FRESH improvisations,LOL greets Vic.
Good playing! One of the most beautiful things on jazz and a great originallity on guitar playing is when we play our guitar making it sounds like piano keys, mainly the right hand of the pianist when he plays melodies. GOD bless you, my friend! 5 stars! Greetings, Marques.
Vic What a great tune love the song of your guitar, all was not well with me at the doctors, however all is not doom and gloom, listening to you play makes my soul feel good not to mention you make it look so easy yet so COOL how I wish someday I can see you play in person in the states. Peace be with you...like the hair cut. Hen
Thanks Mrs Arciniegas, Paris has always been an attractive country for Jazz musicians because of the cultural climate,there was always much more appreciation for their Art,might be so uptil this day,greets Vic.
@@rvonf5880 My teaching days are over, have done that my whole life, now is time for relaxation and playing for my pleasure, keep studying and playing, greets Vic
Great hearing this, so it has to be, ideas has to go from one generation to the next. Fine you're letting me know cause many now a days take all for granted and just are in the consuming modus, thanks and much success.
Hi guitaress1,well here's another fan,simply great musicians,every note on the spot and John Lewis sure composed some great work (Django that's another one I've got to tackle,great tune) thanks for dropping in,greets Vic.
Hi Rich, good for you man you bought the Polytone,great little amp,one of the best for Jazz, you know Rich if you sit down and play some things you enjoy,sounding good to your ears you're on your way man,there the joy is coming and that's what you need,greets Vic.
Just brilliant Vic, this performance is worthy of much more than 5 stars my friend, as always!! This is just the type of tune to make you relax, brilliant! Love, Tamara xx
@jazzfluter1073 In Holland we say: You hit the nail on the head. First thing in becoming a good musician is to kill the Ego,it's a stand in the way and of no importance. Unfortunately I always notice when the Ego is larger than the Spirit,a very common thing to detect as a man in Zen-philosophy.
Thanks wolfgang,I can see you're a Jazz admirer and love listening to it,we can shake hands on that field also in the field of finger style,you're a Maestro in that style,greetings my friend.
Terry you're a first Class Poet,your words dance like Indians round a fire,not only once but always,so lively full of Imagination,simply delightful reading them,thank you my lady,friendly greetings Vic.
Hey, Vic! There u go again. How smooth, how relaxed, how intense! What a phrasing again! And what a logic in your play: you make these changes sound absolutely straightforward! Ratings are disabled at this moment, but it sure is ***** Greetz from Switzerland, Jogi
Thanks Vic! I was concentrating on doing some work with my website when I received your video. I had to leave the work for another time. lol Just what I needed, a nice soothing tune from you to get all the stress out of my system. Lovely tone, playing and sound balance. 5***** ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫♪ ♫ ♪ ♫♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♫
Thanks John, glad you liked this one,I had a ball playing it, I'm getting so much vids sent by people that actually have nothing to do with Jazz,that I'm really glad I see you here John,someone who knows the Jazz tradition and history,thanks man,greets Vic.
Wow,what fantastic chosen words my friend,you're a Poet,someone who knows how to listen and knows how to let his Imagination flow,thanks man,love your Heartfelt comments,simply great, greets Vic.
Thanks Michael, wow time flies man, 8 years ago , a long time. Great you're checking out my older work, sometimes I listen back older tunes and think, I've recorded everything very critical so they still sound pretty good :-) greetings Vic.
HI Vic, great version of one of your recommended standards. Great for getting ones chops together. This one takes some gettinused to due to the rather fast changes, I'll get there in the end, I think. Saludos desde España
Hey Vic, thanks for your thoughts on that. I've been studying Jazz for the past couple of months. I've been slowly teaching myself how to read music and have been spending a few hours a day doing so out of a 50's jazz real book. And I have been progressing. But even so, I've only scratched the surface because Jazz is such a complex genre. If I had of watched you play 3 months ago, I wouldn't have appreciated it near as much as I do now.
Hi Sarah,my dear,I nearly have vacation from the Music school then I'm off again to listen to all my friends(and of course you too) it's hard work giving all these students guitar lessons,glad it's vacation time, thanks for your ears,hug Vic.
Thanks Hen for dropping in and listening,I hope all goes well with your health,and I'm sure glad that my Music has a positive vibe for you,I do believe Music heals people if it's played from the Heart and with good intention, well Hen maybe one day I'll be doing some gigs in the States,who knows,then I'll shake your hand and drink some beers with you,keep well now,greets Vic.
Hey Vic!! Great to hear you playing I enjoy it very much!! What can I say unless it's brilliant as always!! If I could I would give you a lot of more than 5 stars!! Hope you're well! Hug Sarah :-)
Thanks Pancakechef, man,I spent too much money and the tickets are quite expensive, guess I'll be following it on TV and I do hope they pick out the good acts, hopefully not too commercial,greets Vic.
@issarakoat Thanks, I think the Jazz has that depth when well-played to again and again grasp the listener,one of the truest Art forms,thanks again,Vic.
Thanks Maestro Scott, got some nice Ideas from your Octotonic Vid that I incorporated here, it gave me some fresh ideas, Please do your version it's a cool tune man,then I'll be tapping' my toes,Swing it out brother,Vic.
Thanks Shally,guess you're right, people who have no affinity with Jazz don't know the depth and certainly don't understand. I have Seymour Duncan humbuckers on my Epi and am very pleased with these pick ups, I also have a Jazz Box but I love this guitar too,greetsVic.
nice epiphone, that must be an old one, i bought a sheridan 5 years ago but the inlays dont go as far down the fingerboard, great playing as always 5 stars my friend
Dank je, ja de ritmiek is super belangrijk in Jazz,het moet van A tot Z swingen,zeer belangrijk dat is de basis,uiteraard is ook een goede nootkeus belangrijk :-) groet,Vic.
Hi Marques, strangely I like hornplayers more than guitarists in general(just for a few exceptions) It's like sax or trumpet sounds closer to the human voice and I find that quite attractive, somehow they also seem more melodic,thanks for listening Amigo,greets Vic.

You've managed to make a lazy summer afternoon a little cooler with your bright improvisations and gentle swinging sounds. That's cool.
I like it. Your soloing is jazzy and compelling, and it's clear that you command a great deal of knowledge and cultivated feeling.
