    Tommo -

    You were the blues guy during lockdown. I'd have thought this tune was up your street. Aren't you going to do anything with it? Only wondering

    Hey, its only been a day!

    Hep, I liked that, right from the volume swells...which aren't as easy on a thinline IIRC

    Gets a little Carlton-esque even!

    Still am! And that tune sure is right up my street. Have been a bit busy the last couple of days with giving lessons and some other unexpected and unnecessary sh*t. Guess I'll give it a shot tomorrow!
    Thanks for asking!

    So while I'm learning the tune itself, I thought I'd go ahead and take a stab at improvising. This is pretty spontaneous, i.e. unpremeditated, ie. I have no idea what I'm doing. It's kind of a "working draft" as it were.. a very drafty one at that. Honestly, I enjoyed hearing the L5ces through the Princeton so much I just couldn't stop playing even when I ran out of ideas.

    Think of this as a cry for help!

    Sorry about the Strat joke Anyway, I really didn't seriously consider that option here. John A and Hep took care of the overdriven stuff

    Getting to look forward to Ronstuff's contributions. Very personal feel.

    Regarding the "energy" in my take/s (alluded to several times), I wasn't aware of that as a thing as I just play naturally. Good to know it's appreciated. I would actually like to get the "plink" out my archtop sound, but that would mean a more complex and time-consuming recording approach. Never been a standards player (pretty obvious) but exposure to jazz harmony has really opened up my approach to music in general. Very grateful for that.

    Just what I was thinking. Normally, it's 'Hey, it's only Sunday or Monday! ' Next one'll all be over in 20 minutes :-)

    Here's another using Kris's funky backing track. No video this time.



    For those keeping score at home:
    Guitar: D'Angelico EX DC
    OD: Joyo Tai Chi pedal (Zendrive clone)
    Amp: Garageband BF Super Reverb model
    Effects: A little chorus and stereo delay; a lot of reverb, all GB plug-in

    Clams, eh? Maybe those New Zealand variety cause DAYUMMMMM, that was TASTY.

    I guess you paired those clams with some nice fixings and quality home made spaget, cause that was mighty fine playing. I really enjoyed it. Might steal some of those clams for myself

    Now that's mighty fine for such a spontaneous take, lawson!

    I like your laid back approch - good space between the lines.

    fun story: i once saw a then-young-lion alto sax player, who shall remain unnamed, standing next to nat adderley reading worksong from the aebersold playalong lead sheet.

    LS,
    Your sound is the best jazz guitar sound over this jam.The backing track is fantastic - a fancy driving bass and drums play.
    In my opinion you would surely feel much comfortable at a slightly slower tempo.
    The rhythm section provokes a rush behind it and drives improvisation.
    anyway...this is jam.

    Here's my contribution - guitar could be a bit louder compared to the backing track but I didn't want to re-record because this is the first take like it is supposed to be:





    Like before: any comments, suggestions, critique are welcome.

    Thanks for watching and listening.

    Tommo,
    Nice playing ...Very good rhythmic phrasing.Guitar is ok- it doesn't have to be louder.You're pretty well suited to backing.

    Lawson, id say your best take here so far! Really grooves, in pocket, nice lines, lots of blues.

    Wzpgsr, love the tone a swinging lines. Where did you get the organ track? That sounds so good and your playing fits it perfectly.

    TOMMO, nice take...love that you threw in some Kessel/Ellis bends.

    I might have a go with that wacky kris track. Its like the complete antithesis of what I thought should work for this song, but everyone sounds great on it!
