Geweldig eddie genieten van jou video's groetjes van Richard

[@geofixated]

Loved it. As an old guy just getting into jazz guitar, I think the speed perfect. Thank you so much for posting this song. Only take the good and leave the mean behind you.

[@epipick]

One of my all time favourites. Thank you.

[@clarencecovington5702]

Excellent phrasing, tone and articulation!

[@EddieLastra]

Thank you kindly!

[@tripp8833]

Wonderful solo!

[@timdouglas620]

Yes, especially the phrasing from about 0:50 - 1:14. Very very nice!

[@parsonscharlotte1]

Loved it...nice good night song.

[@vdiprenda]

Thanks Eddie. I stumbled on this and decided your solo would be a great project to transcribe and analyze with my teacher. I'm having a ball with it.. Very nice work!

[@TMNigel]

Always loved this song. Nice rendition!

[@germanpianist]

Prima, Sir !!

[@EddieLastra]

Thanks Dave, glad you can see the Warren influence there, I'm always delighted to hear from fellow students of the master

[@freestyleguitar4461]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@NickBenish8]

Sounds great! You've got some great ideas here, and like always your tone is so buttery smooth. Thanks for the video, Eddie.

[@EddieLastra]

Hi Nick, thanks for your very kind comments. I'll be posting more videos very soon, stay tuned....

[@EddieLastra]

Hey Dallas, Thanks for your kind words, glad you like my vid clip. I started out jazz self taught and later studied with the late great jazz teacher Warren Nunes. That opened a whole new world of playing for me.

[@EddieLastra]

Thank you Andres for viewing and commenting. I generally play a Bm form over the Gmaj7, a BbMa7 form over the Gmin7, I'm not familiar at all with the modal system, I was taught by my teacher Warren Nunes to analyze the tone centers that the ii v I's belong to and play the associated scales and arpeggios. His method was quite different from most other players. Hope that helps explain a little. You can contact me at my email for further questions or help: [e-mail] Best Regards, Eddie

Great job!! Where did you get the backing track?

[@drivers1959]

Great playing,.......do you have the chord chart???? thanks

[@Iamuc]

Great job Eddie!! So smooth!! I was wondering what scales/ arpeggios or modes are you using for the Gmaj7 and for major and minor ii v I ? Thank you!

[@corvusXXIcentury]

HI Eddie, I've a 8 jazz guitar lessons by Warren Nunes , but I didn't get its audio anywhere, just the partitures; so I've been studying them on my way. Would be possible that you'll play them and to put it on youtube ? thanks.

[@EddieLastra]

hi alvaro, what is the title of the book that the Warren Nunes lessons came from? I might be able to help you get the audio. I thought about posting video clips of of some of those lessons, was not sure if there was any interest in them

[@corvusXXIcentury]

Eddie , I found two books of him at U.de A. library from Medellin, Colombia, so I photocopied them 10 years ago. and just a few months ago I knew who was him by the web ; one of them is a blue method,and another a jazz method with lesson 34 ( exercise 1) to lesson 42 (exercise 8) , there aren't anymore titles on those books ; of course these lessons are very interesting for us, the jazz guitar students of the college.

[@Iamuc]

Hi Eddie! What do you mean by form? Arpeggio? I don't understand why do you use the iii over the Imaj7 (bm ver Gmaj7) I Know they share chord tones but how does it works? This approach you are talking about? Same thing with the G minor haha.please can you help me with this? I'm really interested in this approach

[@Boldstrummer]

Hi Eddie, What was the back up track?

[@shaalis]

swinging' :D

[@172003rubens]

Slow hands but fine! Nice notes and timber .

[@EddieLastra]

+José Rubens Thanks, my hands were a bit faster when I was younger, but in my older age arthritis really has really slowed them down, but then that has made me focus more working on good tone and musicality

[@xXJennieMarieXx]

Hi Eddie, what guitar is that?

[@EddieLastra]

Hi Jennie, that is an old Epiphone Emperor II, currently sold as the Epiphone 'Joe Pass' model

[@jensclarberg6419]

I'd say don't worry about playing slowly its completely fine. I think you have nice ideas but need to rest more to really make them stand out, constant 8th notes makes it quite dreary to listen to even if you had nice licks. You play over the chords well but sometimes I feel like the form was slightly lost and you needed to approach the chord tones better.

[@horbergus]

You're good, but you should practice timing, and even more important, swing! At this point, your playing pretty straight 8th notes, listen to how the great players played and articulated their 8th notes and learn by listening. Otherwise great, nice clean and interesting playing.

[@EddieLastra]

hobergus, Thanks for your advice and tips. I'm working on those very things now, hopefully my future video clips will show a little more swing and articulation. Always something to work on in this jazz stuff... :) ~Eddie
