Rik Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi y'all, long time no see, lurking sometimes for old time sake. I used to be a half decent guitar player, posted quite a bit on the old forum. After coming to terms with my disabilities , started to noodle again over a backing I heard our resident jazz guitar guru Kenny ply some bop lines over. My version is way worse ;). Anyway, have a listen if you like : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hey Rik. Glad to see you participating on the new forum. You betray yourself when you say that this song is "worse". I think that you have done a terrific job on this cheery jazz number. I enjoyed listening and thank for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 If this is the music in the elevator, let me ride! LOL I think you did a fine job. Good guitar tone and your playing was excellent. Fit right in with the song. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markno999 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Rik, Great to hear some new music from you and this track sounds fantastic. One of the things I really like about your playing is your timing and groove are always impeccable. Many guitarists struggle with timing. You hit all the right notes and keep it flowing smoothly all the time.. Great stuff and look forward to hearing more..... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywtelejazz Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi Rik , I like what you did Your version is a good listen You had nice octaves going during the songs opening phrases .. I enjoyed the space and breathing room you left open as the song played . Yeah , nice use of electric Gypsy type of scales and sounds , Sounds good man . all the best, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
