Wait for it...

Twiddles 'n all (hopefully no twaddle)

Well, I suppose I'm just not a twiddly sort of person :-)
Um, not clear on the relevance of the Stevie Wonder. Good song and all that but... Were you entirely sober?
-
Nicely twiddled, John. No twaddle :-)

So you weren't... I suppose it was a bit early for that :-)

Cool expression...towards rock articulation.

First time trying to play this song. My first take was a little fresher and bolder, I think, but unfortunately I'd plugged the wrong jack into the wrong socket so didn't record the backing track (iRealPro).

Hi !
This is my humble take.
-
This is another take...
-
-
I'm sorry, I did it again...
-
This was a great way to check out my new Blu 6 with my Tele (direct out to DAI):
-
This is not jazz...I can play like Carlos...
Feeling:
Box
-
I want to hear Lionelsax do it on saxophone.
-
Fascinating...
-
I just tried the same approach with the same backing track as the first take, using my laminated achtop (AF207) thru the Blu. It's amazing how this amp brings out the basic character of each of my guitars. The input stage(s) ahead of the direct out are amazingly transparent.

It was just a take, I did it because my wife wanted me to play it on the saxophones.

Back in the saddle this week. Here's my take:

Hey, wzpgsr, too short! But nice twiddlies

Andy LaVerne is the author of rehamonized chord changes.
My version is a bit simplistic and more latin style.
