    There are so many outstanding versions out there that can´t be beatet.
    Anyway this is my voice in the huge choir, on Jimmy Van Heusens tune, with a latin feel:

    Nice...lots of movement....to be honest, I don't know...the baseline seems to distract a bit....you are obviously a very good guitarist!

    Thanks Artcore.
    Maybe my focus goes to let the melody sings and in addition to the normal bass notes, part of my style is to use the open bass strings as rhytmical ghost notes to keep it going.
    I think I could dampen that a little more to avoid the distraction, but I can´t promise, though ;-)
    Thanks for beeing honest.
    regards Uffe

    Incredible playing, loved the way you imply the harmony in the lower register, you make that tune groove ! I think that the ghost notes really add a lot, it drives the tune.

    Stratocaster is actually quite good for this kind of style!

    Nice sound. I could just sip some wine and then listen this like forever

    Nice job, Uffe.

    Hope you won't be offended, but this has to be my favorite:

    Nice version, Uffe. I never thought of this Van Heusen tune in a Latin groove, but you made it work ! For our fellow members , I hope you won't object to me adding a chord-laden version by Ron Eschete , who may have based it on
    the definitive Frank Sinatra '50's recording.

    Hi very cool take! Love the...swaying feel? Not sure how to explain it - very good use of dynamics leads to a really unique sense of rhythm.

    Glad you liked it, Goran and Pushkar.
    Pushkar, its so nice that you recognice my rhythmical intensions.
    Thanks :-)
