TASTEFUL in the extreme. This shows a very mature playing outlook based on musicality, and not on attempting to impress the audience with number of notes, speed, exotic fingerings, or outlandish fingering positions. I applaud your touch and your tone.
Like all your tunes great rendition. I have a request would you play ‘Maria Elena’ on a Nylon strung guitar as with your feel I think you would do great job. Many thanks Frank
No pude terminar el mensaje: este Sr.tiene la virtud musical de transformar temas originales en versiones muy interesantes, para mi gusto,y cambiar a "algo" más contemporáneo y actualizado.¡Genial!❤❤❤😊😊😊
As a Brazilian musician that I am, I loved his swing Girl from Ipanema seasoned with a touch of Caribbean bolero. Original hearing was tasty. Congratulations on special and neat arrangement! BRAVO! hugs.
Beautiful. I live in Nashville and am musican. A few bits and pieces of a Vince Gill or Chet Atkins feel. Very very comfortable and captivating. Just Damn Good.
Thank you for watching and commenting Kenneth. Coming from the guitarists' mecca in Nashville adds an extra feel good value to your remarks. Very much appreciated. Regards, John
You are more than welcome John. A couple of questions. The strat is beautiful. What year is it? What are you playing through? Love the work on the whammy / vib. bar. And the arrangement is quite well constructed and creative. Was that your idea or a collaboration? How was the track behind you put together? Look forward to your response. Again, such nice work and interpretation. Ken loxsilan
You did an exellent job on it! I couldn't help but remember a gig our little band played in Cincinnati back in the 1970s. A gig where we made great money for playing nothing but this song over and over and over, for more than an hour. It was a fashion show and we were the background music. LOL!
Absolutely beautiful, I love this piece of music anyway but your version just blows me away, I could listen to you all day. Bought a guitar when I retired but struggling badly, would give anything to be able to play such a lovely song and look as relaxed as you while playing. Well done! Now going to check out your other stuff.
+andre oldnall Thank you Andre for your comments. Keep persevering and enjoy the guitar, you have to train your fingers to different patterns which become natural after a while. John
Very good arranjement, I'm brazillian and really loved how it sounds. By the way, this is the first time I've seen someone play this song with this "cool" and "nice" feel, keep up with the great work. Cheers!
+Leonardo Capnaone It is great that Brazillian people enjoy the way I do this number. If it is an original way to play it and is accepted then that is even better. Many thanks Leonardo. John
Wow...I am about to perform my own rendition of this song...and thinking about doing a billion and one notes...and here you approach this from a less is more perspective. Sweet sounds mate.
Thanks Anwyll. Tommy Emanuel once told me that expression in a note can give more pleasure than several regimentally hit notes... he is right! Pleased it registered with you. Good luck with your performance - just be yourself. John
I've heard pro jazz players play this song and destroy it by putting in way to many notes. This guy plays it simple, beautiful and enjoyable to listen to. This is the best I've ever heard this song played by any standards.
TASTEFUL in the extreme. This shows a very mature playing outlook based on musicality, and not on attempting to impress the audience with number of notes, speed, exotic fingerings, or outlandish fingering positions. I applaud your touch and your tone.
Very much appreciated from a fellow musician. I agree with your musical sentiments - emotion and musicality say a lot. Many thanks.

You're the Man....Loxsilan !! Unbeatable !! Tom Jobim will be very proud of you !!
Thanks, praise indeed! Very much appreciated.

Wow that was a beautiful rendition! I really love the chords that you used! Please do some more bossa nova guitar music in the future!
Thanks for the lovely comments, they really are appreciated.
John
Did you know the bossa nova is not jazz?

Another fine job John. Keep up the good work.
This is a tremendous achievement. Amazing playing!
that is so freaking awesome that uses of your tremolo on that Strat was beautiful definitely tips for me to learn from
Many thanks for your great comments.
John
Lovely number...was my first tango dance with my high school sweetheart...
This is one of the best versions I have heard, simply awesome.
Beautiful interpretation ! Thanks for posting
Welll played, Mr. President Carter.
mellow..and appealing , played on a fiesta red Strat the way LEO had intended,...now this is another classic!
I particularly like your very casual use of the whammy bar. Well done, it gives the sound a very nice vibrato.
Just beautiful John 🎶🎸
This is one of my all time favorite songs. It will take me a lifetime of practicing to play just like you.
That was simply exquisite.
