Good job young Sir! I see you still have a little of that rock vibrato going on LOL.

Keep practicing, I am sure you will be able to do whatever you like in time.

Lots of good stuff going on here...a few points of advice (small things, but since it seems you're well on your way, here they are)

Jazz players don't do "covers." We play our "versions." "Cover" always seems to imply a note for note copy of someone else, even if i doesn't mean that. I know that seems really small, but...

Even if you're joking, don't call yourself a "guitar God." Being at your level at 14 is cool, but if you want a bunch of crabby old farts on a jazz forum to listen to you, kill that and the smiley face asap. Also, watch some youtube's of a young Jimmy Rosenberg and Andreas Varady. They will be humbling in the best possible of ways.

Suny Side has really great, classic, cute lyrics...when a song does, i like to know them, to help in my interpretation of the melody.

There was a lot of "scale up, chromatic down" lines going on...mix it up a bit.

That Suhr is sweet...don't feel like you have to roll all the character out of it for a jazz tone.

Overall, I was very impressed...stick with it, i think you will only get better--and with hard work at your age, you'll really be tearing it up by the time you're old enough to enjoy a beer between sets!

Nice, thats good stuff, keep on playing, memorise the melody and chords, don't read. Play with more feel.

Good Stuff
Nuff

Here's 12-year-old Andreas Varady, a really young jazz guitarist.

Alright man, thanks. But the reason I was reading was because we did not have much time to film, so I just picked a tune out of the Real Book.
