        Hello there,

        In the last two months, I have spent several times in a hospital.
        But now I’m back on the guitar 😉
        I recorded a small, jazzy tune.
        I hope you like it.

              Hey Blue,

              Nice mellow jazz performance. Glad you’re back, hope it was nothing serious.

                I’d buy that for sure!

                LOVE it!

                Just curious – where did you get the backing track? Did you create it yourself?

                    i love this easy listening smooth jazz; noodling melodically over mellow chord progressions, i could this all day and night. You’ve got great jazz tone here, and i hear those Wes Montgomery octaves, so cool. Well done bluesheki. Sometimes this stuff sounds easy, but it actually took me years to get into these scales (mostly natural minor/Aeolian) and to keep track of the chords changing behind me, because i find it more creative (and also more challenging) to touch base on the passing chords rather than just run the same scale over the whole progression. So well done, smooth jazz for a rainy day, and congrats on making your own backing track.

                          So smooth and beautiful. Reminded me of one of my favorite artist Jeff Golub. I could listen to you all day. You inspire me!!!!

                          PS I hope you hospital visits are over..

                            your comment makes me smile and speechless.
                            Thx a lot.

                            Ps.No, my hospital stays are not over yet.

                                Hey bluesheki, that was so cool.

                                The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                                It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

                                  I stumbled upon this early this morning. What a pleasure it was to listen to this with coffee. You are a fine player and your production here is tonal bliss. Thanks for this man. I hope you are recovering from what ever it was that landed you in the hospital. Keep ’em coming please!

                                      The decision for the trio is a real good one. To be honest, buying this little friend is one of my best investments. So much fun to work with. I’m already curious about your first post with it.

                                          Bluesheki I will try some jazz when the Trio + arrives. It looks like a really cool addition for jamming by yourself and improvising.. Thanks for the tip. Will be here in a couple of days..
