I think Gigi must be pronounced G.G. because his first names are George General. As opposed to Zshee-Zshee which is a girl's name :-)

That's what fast stuff seems like to me. Maybe next life I'll be a speed demon and get lots of fans

I’m going in with an organ trio cut!

Didn't know this song at all.

Fun tune, great call Trips.

I see I should have made it a little faster - mine ran at 180 bpm.

Or you can simply google 'Minority lead sheet' and look under Images. Save from there.
Same for most tunes. Make sure you get the key right.

Cool relaxed playing with nice time.

Although my career as a guitar player began when I bought my first pickup and amp with my Bar Mitzvah money, I may have played one too many of them if that's the only musical allusion that popped into my head.....

I know what you mean, as much as I like Pat Martino I do find his solos can get a bit relentless over the course of a whole album.
I am unable to play like that, so I can’t help putting short bits in between the long bits, and leaving spaces while I try to figure out what to play next, or work out where I am in the tune. Fortunately it seems to work quite well!

Hello. Well, you boys are definitely banging it out. Most impressive.
As for pauses and all that, absolutely. I can actually do lines without stopping much but I find it unnatural. It might have something to do with speech patterns too; we say something, then something else. It's only people on dope or the chronically anxious who burble on without stopping.
I'm afraid I agree about Martino. Some of his stuff is great but it can get relentless, as graham said.
Anyway, here's one. It's a little bit faster than slow :-)

He made me realize that I’d been playing guitar solos using the sound of a saxophone but not the spirit.
Ever since then, I’ve let my own breathing guide a lot of my playing. I’m not into yoga or spirituality, but it does feel right.

I had to learn this one and realized that the intro is played a couple different ways and I didn’t exactly have the rhythm of the melody down after listening to a couple more versions last night. Heres a take and maybe ill do another with the other intro and the correct melody. About to go to work but will listen to the other takes later!
