love it when jazz players use nylons guitars, it’s the way to go for absolute zen sound and playability , thx

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you Andy

[@tonyg6158]

This is so beautiful. Just lost a friend. Thank you for the beautiful playing, just what I needed so soothing.

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Sorry to hear that. Glad you enjoyed it Tony

[@Phyligree]

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you !

[@ssomnaed2720]

Chris is a very tasteful player. Everything he does is just terrific

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you!!

[@walterfingerstyle]

Great arrangement and playing Chris. People usually look at Blue Bossa as an "easy" tune, but it's actually very tricky to play it as Chord Melody on the guitar, and you did a fantastic job, as always!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Hi Walter, thanks for always taking the time to watch and give me positive feedback. I really appreciate it!

[@at3396]

Thanks Chris much better than my arrangement. I have get yours, very cool.

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Cool, thanks!

[@paullandry5907]

Such a great rendition! I've gotta say... I'm loving the sound of your Quilter 101 mini reverb amp! So warm, round and full! You lovin' it?!! If so... I think I've gotta get one!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Hi Paul, I really like this amp. For the money, I don't think you'll find anything better. And, it only weighs 2 pounds!

[@kevhan8601]

I recently picked up a Quilter 101 based on your videos thinking I could sound like you!! The amp sounds great love it, better than my Fender tube amp, unfortunately it didn't help me sound as good as you...

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

I really like the way that amp sounds, and it only weighs 2 lbs!

[@Keesfarida]

Chris Whiteman thanks Chris. I’ll keep listening!

[@rickpattinson8253]

Great version ! any plans to release sheet music for this in the future ?

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you. Unfortunately I can’t get a license from the publisher to release this in print form.

[@andrewdavis5913]

Holy shit I fell in love with this chord melody, could you link the lead sheet you used, or anything, I need to read this

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Hi Andrew, this is something I arranged in my head; however, there has been such an interest lately that my publisher will be offering this arrangement in standard notation and TAB. Should be available in the next week here: www.musicnotes.com/l/Chris_Whiteman

[@andrewdavis5913]

[@alessandroferrarimusic]

Beautiful sound, how did you do that?

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you. Just plugged direct into the quilter mini 101 reverb head.

[@cesarsifuentes8098]

Smooth and sweet Chris! Is there any way you can maybe send me a link to the picking ect?

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks Cesar. I don’t have anything written down for this.

[@michaeldoucette943]

[@kevhan8601]

Hey Chris, very nice as always love the arrangement, any chance you posted on SMP ?

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Can't sell it on SMP, so i didn't write it out....

[@lchPutzHierNur]

i always thought that when i would have to choose between hearing and eyesight that i give up my hearing. not so sure about that anymore

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks my friend. I hope hope you keep all your senses!

Nice mystical tone, nylon sometimes has "it"

Joe Henderson is also very surprised...

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Ha!

[@user-ij4iq7cj9q]

this is not melody btw

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

It is not melody, but a term called “chord melody”, which refers to this style of guitar playing/arranging. mattwarnockguitar.com/chord-melody/#what

[@TheEpochCompanion]

The melody is absolutely in the arrangement. As chris states, this is a chord melody arrangement.

[@MrWeedpatch]

Nice playing kid

Thanks
