The tone and playing are really excellent! I think the younger players should check out Johnny Smith and Mike Elliot for examples of this wonderful style!

Contrary motion where one line goes up while the other descends is a very good technique to spice up chord melody arrangements.

Joe I love your posts because you are 90% actual playing and just 10% talk. That means a ton to me. I'm on this forum mainly for the playing, hearing other growing guitarists trying their hand at different musical goals, and having a place where I can play for others who can appreciate what I'm doing right and gently let me know what needs attention.
I don't always post a reply because sometimes I put the video on "loop" and if I hit "Reply" the music stops... but I watch every one and really enjoy them.
But I also know how great it is when we post a clip and then have some conversation about it. I'll make sure in the future to speak up because good conversation is a rare thing these days!

Joe, this is fun. I love the bounce and lilt and the sweetness and sassiness all rolled together. A great piece and a perfect ending to what felt like a very long week for me. Thank you for all the effort. I hope to one day achieve that level of virtuosity on one or more of my tired old pieces. I'm getting stronger each day and may even be able to play a little bit this weekend!
Heartfelt thanks to you, buddy!

Joe I continue to be delighted with the tone you get from that guitar. Very transparent, very clean, and you have the technique and style to go with it.
I'm curious-do you find the lines and ideas in the Johnny Smith and Joe Pass performances that you transcribe sneaking into your efforts at improvisation? I find chord-melody "licks" -- you know, neat ways to move voicings over a ii-V-I, transfer really easily for me to other playing. But single note line playing is so much harder to "cross fertilize." I've learned some wonderful bop solos, and I notice I can really "hear" bebop better than ever, but still when I try to improvise those ideas just evaporate.
What's been your experience on that?
-
Great sounding guitar and nicely played. I can't play Jazz I just dont have the mind set for it. But I can appreciate the skill level and the sound so can enjoy jazz to listen to.

Joe, your playing always leave me with a smile on my face and in my soul. This one is no exception. You are an artist in your element!

Thank you everyone. I learned a lot on this video. If you notice, the images are nice and dark. I shot with regular basic cheapo Logitech webcams (2 c920’s and one 930 pro). They need ALOT of light to produce dark sharply focused images. But I like my videos to be darker. It makes the more dramatic. I solved the conundrum by learning how to edit videos in GREAT video editor, DaVinci Resolve. Not only am I editing without constant crashes (VideoStudio - garbage) but I found a LUT that darkens the image without changing its clarity AND I’m able to create MP4’s with extraordinary sound. The VideoStudio mp2 rendering (after crash upon crash) were 600megabytes. The MP4 out of DaVinci Resolve is 170megs, rendered in one shot and is 10x better. The reason I rendered mp2’s in VideoStudio is because the mp4 sounded like crap.
I think I have my workflow locked down now. I am happy.
Now like Qaman says, I focus on my grail guitar and prepare for it to happen.
Thanks again guys.

Hi,
I just posted a new Video, featuring the Solid Formed. fast becoming my favorite guitar.
When a guitar is dialed in, it says the things you want to say. This Guitar is infallible in its ability to project my feelings.
This is my absolute favorite Dean Martin tune. I hope you like my Video.

Beautiful tone. Nothing wrong with that pu Bro. You got your settings spot on with your recording. Sweet !

Bravo! While the guitar may lack "bling", the playing has "bling" , and just the right amount.
-
Very nice playing Joe. The guitar sounds wonderful - a real beautiful song.
-
Sweet!
Maybe you should add "Gibson Boy" by Tal Farlow to your repertoire.

Thanks guys!

Really nice playing and arrange. I could never get a sweet tone like that on that style of pickup. It was a very clean interpretation.
I dig the sustain on it, even with the ebony bridge... Probably a TOM would be too bright and harsh for this guitar.
Someone upload a comparison of an L-5 Wes with Tom and Ebony bridge, and i strongly disliked the ebony. But in here and in Campellone i really like them, why? I dont know.

Hi Gustavo,
Thank you very much. There is a Schatten Volume and Tone knob on this guitar and I roll off the tone quite a bit to get that sound. In my headphones it sounds even less bright than it does on the recording. I am very happy with the sound. I am glad you are too.
At some point I will get a new bridge-top made for the guitar that compensates for the anomaly in the low E string. But for now, Its OK..
Thank You Sir.

Just beautiful Joe. Your technique is so clean, the notes just flow. Is that your arrangement or a transcription? Whichever, it is just breath-taking.
I echo also everyone's praise of the tone you're getting from that very unpretentious instrument.
Also-this is a tune I haven't heard done by many players. It was fresh!
