        Fun to learn this great standard.

          Definitely a classic and a favourite of mine Brian. Really enjoyed your version, well played, the melody shone through and loved all the embellishments too. Kudos for the slides around the 1 minute mark. Top stuff. All the best! 😎🎸😎

            Summertime and the listenen’s easy.

            Nice job on this Brian. Some sweet improv after the head. Agree, those slides were great too.

                  Nice and easy and laid back. Excellent way to start my day. Thanks!

                    Really nice playing over that track Brian. You made it look easy. That Tele looks/sounds awesome. Is that a custom?

                          A very smooth and enjoyable Jazz piece Brian! As Mike said, you made it look easy, like those notes flow naturally from your fingers and your guitar, but we all know it’s not easy to play this piece spotlessly as you did. Loved to listen to this piece dedicated to the summer, in summertime is perfect!

                            Wow, my brain can’t even think fast enough to create jazz improv like that. Well played!
