When you said you were working through the arrangement, you weren’t kidding. That was a lot of work.
What a wonderful arrangement. Superlative presentation by you.

Beautifully played Duffy. Great arrangement and wonderful use of dynamics. Bravo!

I think remember you showed/pasted a video of him once here.. yes that is like walking bass lines contemporary jazz riffs with bass lines..sounds like more than one guitar ..that is good practicing for any standard! really nice relaxing music and well performed!

What a feeling – excellent.

Duffy, that was terrific, a gorgeous Gershwin melody played beautifully. In terms of playing guitar, you included everything, chords, melody, slides, bends, harmonics, walking baselines, the list goes on. I particularly liked the smooth gentle start, steadily building tempo and volume throughout the piece. Just great …..

You have hit a new high with this arrangement, so very laid back.wonderful stuff.

Duffy,
That is a beautiful arrangement, congratulations. The bass lines drew me right in. I’m in awe of how many extended, altered, diminished, sus, inverted and add chords you must have used and how you, surely, know what each of every one of them are.

Duffy,
That is just superb! A master class in arrangements and played beautifully. The best solo guitar interpretation of Summertime I’ve heard. Joe Pass couldn’t top that one. Did you study music composition in college? Really enjoyed it!

James

Duffy,
Great playing on one of the all time great melodies.
Bob

Really good Duffy!!I can see Porgy casting a line under a shade tree along the Mississippi! You captured the whole feel of the song!! Bravo!

Hey Duffy, that was 100% nice! Everything about it was nice, I like hearing that rhythm on the lower strings with the melody on top. You took your time getting there.

Firstly, I like your idea to transpose a George Gershwin piece to guitar. You managed this very well. You kept the original spirit, but made it your own. your playing is superb.

When I heard everything, I said to myself, a great idea was well implemented. You have made your own track out of it. Very pleasant overall package.

Expressing your feelings on someones else’s tune, well, you did it very superbly .

Duffy, this masterpiece is a really complicated thing and you did it awesome! Was great pleasure to listen it!

Incredible work here, Duffy. Congrats on that man, because it was absolutely beautiful and a real pleasure to listen to (as others have said).

That! Was really good. Enjoyed listening to this.

Really cool piece and great performance.

Hi Duffy – I just finished viewing this month’s challenge submissions and was getting caught up on some of the forums. I can’t believe I missed this excellent Showcase of yours. This is an amazing arrangement, and so well played — kudos. I especially loved the walking bass lines, but that was only one of many things to like.
