It Could Happen To You - Jazz Guitar/Organ Duo

[@gtrmusic69]

This is the problem with jazz. You have these great players who have practiced for decades, learned scales, chords, music theory, developed a great skill, great tone, spend tens of thousands on all the "right" gear, guitars, pickups, amps, strings etc. and in the end 99% of jazz players end up playing at small wine bars and restaurants and make a couple of hundred bucks for the night...if they're lucky. Both of you are great players and make a fantastic ensemble. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you! I think I made $75 for that gig 😂

[@guitarlots]

​@ChrisWhitemanGuitar yeah, but you are doing what you love, and using the talent God gave you, that is the secret to a happy life

[@artsie8282]

[@blastsucarta1068]

Super!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@eustace8520]

The organ sound on a keyboard brings me into a nostalgic state. Something about it... this particular piece reminds me of the final scenes of Le Samourai.

[@ringbangsoldier]

So much jazz guitar vocabulary in here it’s amazing!

Hello sir , do you have any advice for a beginner trying to learn how to keep time? Seems so complicated considering things like syncopation etc . Thanks !

[@anthonygiordano792]

Practice with a metronome, 24/7! It becomes muscle memory/ music second nature to be playing in time without a metronome, after practicing with it so much. Over time it will get so much better, so don’t get discouraged. You can also listen to something that has a complicated rhythm, or something you like the sound of rhythmically and transcribe that. You will get better in time

[@genec8393]

Nice playing and sounding. Do you recall what brand, type, and gauge of strings you were using? Effects?

I am using a Headstrong Lil King tube amp (fender Princeton Reverb clone) in this video. I do use the quilter live, but usually for solo guitar or duo with a bass player.
