Beautiful Don❤

One of my teachers at GIT. Great player

Extraordinary and beautiful.

a musical shred guitar monster

Hey Don , i was at GIT in 1977 when they moved the school further up Hollywood Blvd closer to highland.. i had a old gibson L5 with a Charlie christian pick up.. i remember the les paul you had with the pitch bender.. you were a great teacher...

When I knew Don, pre GIT, I didn't know who Monk was. Many years later, having sung this song countless times, it's a pure delight to hear the harmonic richness of this arrangement, and Don's soulful phrasing. Truly brilliant guy, and wonderful human being.

Don is a great guy! If you are reading this, Don, I'd ;love to buy you coffee, lunch - maybe teriyaki! Best Jef Veilleux

Brilliant!

I knew of him through his books but hadn't heard him play like this. What a player!

39:18 so sort of like some stuff I heard Chuck Loeb play with steps ahead

4 minutes 22 seconds of my life well spent ! Thank you ❤

Simply brilliant...Monk/Bach....like Ted Green Don Mock is a genius level guitarist that few people are aware of.

Question: Is Don Mock still alive?? This video is the last thing I could find of Don. His webpage was not update from 20009 ongoing. I could not find any newer records of Don Mock! Anyone her who has more information? Kindly appreciated! Thanks a lot! Cheers DimiZ

Don is probably one of the most underrated guitarist of the last decades. Maybe because he's mostly known as a jazz educator. This rendition of round'midnight is beautiful.

Fantastic playing, and arrangement, wooooooow !!

Wow!

I couldn't get rid of my synth guitar quick enough. Like a guitar shaped keyboard. Nothing like the organic feel of an acoustic alone or electric with a tube amp.

Amazing!

I have listened this version a lot of times. What a counterpoint! Extremely beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing your talent.

True genius, as good as it gets, counterpoint inspired by the Gods!

I was there at Don Mar Warehouse in Covent Garden in London for the GIT Audition with DM and Tommy Tedesco.....sometime in the 80s, I had just graduated and signed on for GIT in LA.

His Sound reminded of me Schoenberg sound.

Don for president❤️🥇

Don Mock! 🥇been following you since i was a kid. Coolest modern style. Took me ages to learn all the licks and lines. I love the dominant chord scale so much i use it every week at my gigs to this day

Thank you for posting! Don Mock was one of my favorite teachers at MI. I remember him showing me those ii v i licks built off of seventh intervals. Great player, great teacher and great human being!

Great !!!!

Great!!

3:08 The "WOW" signal from the Speace! :D And a true MASTER from the Earth!

You're the best!!!🦅🦅🦅🇵🇭🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱👍👍👍👍👍

GREATEST PLAYER AND TEACHER!!!!!

He should be much better known. Great guitarist

1:00 that sound wow

Just when you think you've seen it all you come across something like this. Just recently discovered Don Mock and I'm impressed in more ways than one. Thanks to Levi Clay for mentioning Don Mock!! Now I'm going to devour all things Mock!!

wow, that is some fluid playing, mercy!

Don Mock keeps looking at Yanni.

Thanks Master! Awesome!

I want to sound like Don when I grow up - so lovely! Great tones and wonderful playing and arrangement.

only heard of his by chance on Scott Henderson's jazz rock mastery dvd

Thanks !!!!!

The finest version I've ever heard. Beautiful LP too! But the player makes it sound like that! Stunning.

Nicely done, Don. Glad to see I'm not the only guy playing jazz on a Les Paul.

@Axel Fabry The truest words written

Phenomenal.

Masterful.

Masterpiece! Epic interpretation!! So inspirational to me. Thank you Don

My friend Danny Hoefer ( an amazing player) suggested I listen to Don as he was his favourite player. Easily the best version of this timeless classic.

one of my heroes

A true master.

On a Les Paul and not a Jazz box.....great arrangement....great job....what year is the Les Paul? not a huge fan because the butt is so heavy

Solid !!! Great playing Don! Jan Hammer look out 😊👍🏼
