Jim, Great post - thanks. I have just got the Beatles for classical guitar and the arrangements are really good. I will order the ones you suggest. I remember...
Thornel was an early influence on me, more for his soulful comping and fills. Eddie McFadden is another in that style, and in my generation, O'Donnel Levy. ......
I don't know if you need any more tips or help, Will, but I've played hundreds, maybe thousands of solo gigs, and I found that putting things in guitar keys...
I think it's fair to point out that neither Benson nor Armstrong compromised their playing by "going pop", they relied on their vocals instead. Kenny G, on the...
... This thread is the very first time I've ever heard say that Kenny G actually had any skills to dumb down in the first place. His overdub over "Wonderful...
Thornel Schwartz is way underrated. I saw him once with Charles Earland and I just couldn't believe he hadn't become a more recognized and well known player....
Everybody is much too hard on Kenny G I think. Some of his stuff is lovely for example In A Sentimental Mood is one and the tune he wrote for his wife is...
Dear Friends: I have two fun shows this weekend – I hope you'll stay in town and celebrate the holiday with me! Saturday July 4 @ the Bar Next Door w. The...
... Hi guys I haven't followed your posts in months. I tried to learn too much too fast and overwelmed myself, I can't spell, but I'm back. Pluss I was so busy...
... Don't take this too serious then but Kenny G did pander to critiques. When Song Bird came out I heard a lot of sax players say all he does is play fast...
"I heard about a guy who went to Phil Woods for a lesson and Phil Woods asked if he knew Cherokee in all 12 keys. The guy said no and Phil said learn it. And...
Juan, I knew Eddie Mcfadden he was one of the nicest people i had met on the scene in Philladelphia. I did not know Thornel Schwartz but in the early 1980's i...
Juan, Fondi, O Cubano <---made me feel happy. the melody elicits a happy feeling for me. it reminds me of something i may have heard as a child which is why...
I have a horrible embarasing confession to make. A few years ago I got tired of all the talk about Kenny G. Jazzers trashing him and yet knowing these...
Hi Chris, I was there also. What a great show by the way. It also amazed me the incredible acoustics of the FSC. Although I was in the fifth level the sound...
Hey Tony, I will let you know - I don't think there's going to be any problems. I'm actually in Finland, the last name is just a leftover from the olden days.....
... That sounds like a great idea, also for a blues tune. The usual hand signals works fine - fingers up is sharps and fingers down is flats. For example, hold...
Thanks, Jack, I appreciate the kind words! Cheers, JV Juan Vega In a message dated 7/1/2009 8:29:27 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, jack82957@... writes: ...

This concept is new to me cause I'm a sax player. I never stopped to think what it would be like being a guitar player and playing with a keybord player, of...
... Yeah you're right. I was just coming from the perspective of learning tunes in different keys myself. Maybe my words were too hard about Phil Woods. I've...
) ... Cool. My generation never learned that kind of thing. I'm 38 and I live in Utah. Nobody in Utah knows anything about jazz in utah. There's me and a hand...
Hi Tom. ... Yep, loved it! What did you think of the openers? I really liked them, and I'm sure the singer helped them sell a few CD's on the break. :) I'd...
