I have been a Justin guitar student for two years now. I play guitar for more then ten years in total, but I think I made more progress in the last two years then in all the rest combined. So thanks a lot to Justin ans his team!
I am promising myself since forever to record myself and I finally did it I donāt have an amp, just a little āheadphone-ampā (I donāt know the proper name), that I plugged into our little box. So the tone is probably really badā¦ sorry for that. I recorded the jazz standard my funny valentine, as played by Paul Davis.
Any way, I would really appreciate your feedback and constructive critic. Thanks a lot in advance!
What a wonderful first post, Kevin. We donāt hear too many jazz standards here, a treat when we do. Your recording is ear and eye candy. The tone sounded good to me, the clean warm sound that I associate with such music. Then I get absorbed by watching both your hands, the chord shapes, the movement, the picking.
I suggest you pop over to #community-hub:introduce-yourself and share a little bit more personal background, guitar history, and goals as a member of the Community. We do like getting to know each other better in our Community.
Hi Kevin,
That is a pleasant 1st video ā¦ beautifully played, fun to watch and listen toā¦ and clearly some years of experienceā¦Bis Bis Bis
Greetings,Rogier
Very nice Kevin thank you and congrats on your first video share!
Jazz isnāt a genre I know anything about really beyond just itās style but that sounded suitably smooth and chilled, Iāll certainly look out for more from you to educate me further!
The guitar tone came over really nicely so however you were running that through the āheadphone ampā to the recording keep it there!
Delightful, mellow, performance. Did us proud there, Kevin. I do get drawn to learning jazz chords now and again. Itās such a great genre. That was one of the songs my sister used to sing in a pub in the Old Kent Road, London, when I was a spotty, teenager.
Well, this is very nice from all of you I am happy you liked it and will introduce myself as David Suggested in the Introduce-Yourself hub.
So if this is okay, I will continue to post some Jazz - Tunes from time to time right now I got 3 done and look forward to learn more of them in Grade 6 of Justins wonderful course.
Is it possible, that I happened to stumble across the one place on the internet, where people are actually really nice to each other?
Well, this all really helps a lot. I lately felt a bit demotivated to practice, and thought using the forum a bit would help me, and it sure really does! Cheers, Kevin
A jazz standard that devoid of all the usual chaotic razzmatazz and instantly recognizable, Iāll have some of that. Some tricky chords there Kevin, well applied and sounding good.
Your time has been well spent, great share. And Iād add a welcome as well.
Wow, how beautiful. I havenāt heard much jazz, aside from one time I was at a public parklands and a jazz quartet was playing. And a couple of videos Iāve watched here.
Really great listening, wonderful sound.
I am curious on the tone, itās so good. What were the effects?
That was very well played Kevin. Congrats on your first video share! Similar to @Notter jazz isnāt a genre I knew anything about until I joined this community and heard a couple of @robert.c.1984 AVOYPs. So thank you for indulging me in some more jazz standards. Look forward to hearing more from you.
