Drop a comment below in support and appreciation of these amazing guitarists! 🙌

[@HristoVitchev]

So honored to be a part of these absolutely mesmerizing group of six-stringers. I am so inspired! Thank you Chase for doing this.

[@pickinstone]

Glad to see Peter Mazza playing on here and doing well. NO ONE plays harmony quite like Peter Mazza, he's an NYC treasure. I close my eyes and hear Stan Kenton ala Bill Holman's arrangements. I hear 20th century classical composer complexity and nuance ala Oliver Messiaen. Great playing by all the musicians all around, but I wanted to shout out Peter--as a fellow Nu Yorkah (now living on the West Coast).

[@ChaseMaddox]

Thanks for listening! 🤘

[@brandoncoleman9491]

An honor to be here amongst all these beastly musicians! Lovely playing by all!

[@nuthinbutlove]

You were wonderful Brandon. Love the tone 🎸❣️

[@jzgtr100]

Hi Brandon, Nice to see you on Chase's channel.

[@NathanLevMusic]

Yo! Loved seeing you on this! Glad to see you getting wider recognition!

[@ChaseMaddox]

An honor to have you! And for those that don’t know, Brandon also played the piano accompaniment for his recording 🔥

[@mr.nobody2244]

[@joshuasohn47]

Love this series of collaborations you’ve been doing, it’s put me on some amazing guitarists and most of all just some amazing arrangements. I literally have gone back to that first autumn leaves Collab like over 100 times. Would love to see you do this style of vid with another standard. Thanks for all the amazing content!

[@ChaseMaddox]

This is exactly why I started putting these collabs together. Thanks for your comment! Much more to come in 2024 🤘

[@joshuasohn47]

[@ChaseMaddox]

[@NathanLevMusic]

Glad to see Brandon here! He’s a mainstay in the Cincinnati scene and it’s cool to see him pop up on one of your videos!

[@ChaseMaddox]

Brandon’s been a friend for a while! I’m really glad to include him on this 🙏

[@surfrduede]

Enjoyed Hristo and Mason’s interpretations. Beautiful articulation throughout.

[@DaddySantaClaus]

great technique all of them however, i prefer the last guy as you can actually listen and enjoy the song. I'm a guitarist myself and sometimes its nice just to hear the tune it self played with a bit of class, for the lack of a better word. I mean just because you can do a lot, do you always have to??? no disrespect meant whatsoever, they are all great, just where is the song????

[@ChaseMaddox]

Thanks for watching! The last guy's name is Mason Rasavi 👍

[@lascellehewitt3542]

Simplicity does it. Too much verbosity, which takes a way from the beauty of the song.

[@ChaseMaddox]

Indeed
