My Top Three are Barry Greene (for concept), Tim Lerch (for tone) and Jonathan Stout (for originality). I watched this video twice and I must say that all of the performers are world class. I did not want to watch it a third time because I would probably have to change my mind... Thanks for making this possible, Chase Maddox! 👏
Thank you so much Chase it was a real pleasure to watch this vid and enjoy and be inspired by all of these fine players. I’m honored and more than a bit humbled to have been part of the gang. Tim
I’ve got a bunch of your truefire courses and doing the 7 day trial of solo sensai all day. Thank you so much for helping me to make more beautiful music. I love your lessons cause of your calming presence then I learned you were a zen monk and I thought “that tracks”.
Tim Lerch, focus, complexity, tones, sounds, cleanliness, timing, oh and an impressive telecaster, and Jonathan Stout, so classic, with the sound and the effortless playing.
Ive never heard of Dan Wilson but his performance blew me away. Loved the Monk bass fills he did and he has amazing chops that fit right into the song. Discovering Dan was alone worth the watching of this video. Max and Cecil were were my 2 other favorites. Great job everyone!
Around 2011 I attended a Tommy Emmanuel concert at the Florida Theater in Jacksonville. Barry Greene was the guest guitarist. OMG, Barry Greene’s playing is just incredible. He played a few Django pieces with Tommy which were surreal. If you have the chance to hear Barry go do it, he’s a phenomenal musician.
I didn't watch the whole video yet, but Tim Lerch made it for me, not only a master in technique, but also extremely pleasing and full of feeling. Loved it as a guitarist but mostly as a human
Tim Lerch…. The tone! He easily brought new unique beauty to this already beautiful song! All the subtly gorgeous dynamic manipulation he is able to apply to coax this magic from his instrument is so remarkable. Deep, Pure, musical, expressive beauty! Sorry for gushing!
I loved Tim Lerch’s performance. I guess it was the most comprehensible for me, very melodic. And also liked the more vintage “Charlie Christian” style a lot by Jonathan Stout ❤.
Tims playing is so subtle and and mellow and that is the general goal that I think we should have on a guitar very relaxing not too much tension solo but just beautiful because it fits with the song
They all are mind blowing! Personal favorites are Stout because he swings so hard, and Stryker because he plays the tune and delivers it with a good feel, nice sound, and a thoughtful but appropriate arrangement. Again, everyone’s performance is fantastic making this video a treasure trove of guitar knowledge. Many thanks to everyone who made this!
awesome video. I am always searching for pros playing standards that I can learn from. these are all amazing and eclectic examples of virtuosic playing but with elements that any of us can use to approach these tunes with. amazing stuff! what a wonderful display of the diversity of jazz guitar!
thanks to the players for taking "the challenge" and thank you chase putting this together. what a great concept. all the guitarists bring something to the party - some of whom i wasn't familiar with. this is an absolute treasure trove - almost encyclopedic. so much to digest here. will be coming back again and again.
Great to see this concept brought into the jazz space. I really dig Jonathan Stout’s playing; he’s a modern master of a somewhat lost style. Tim Lerch makes everything sound like warm honey. Just great all around.
What a great video, thanks so much. I'm curious whether anyone knows which archtop guitar Tim Lerch is holding in the still photo at 14:36. It's a beauty.
I could listen to all these guys solo works forever. There is a certain genius in their play and approach to the music. It's always wonderful to hear and wonder how they do it. For me, Tim Lerch is one of my favs so I loved his approach- very Ted Green. Your list of players turned me on to some guys I was not familiar with. Can't wait to dig into their stuff. Thanks for that. Loved this!
Max Light's chord sequence at 41:47 to 41:50 is the most beautiful portion of all players. Graham Dechter was a wild and fun ride! However, I think I appreciated the flow and tone of Tim Lerch the most. That being said, all were enjoyable and represent the best of jazz! Thank you for sharing this with us, Chase!
Great video Chace. I think what this video reveals is the essential appeal of (jazz) music; it’s the unique voice of each musician. Music isn’t a competition, each performance is fascinating and beautiful.
Cool video, great idea. All were terrific. I liked the Tele-jazzers, just goes to show, it's a versatile instrument. I've always loved Jonathan Stout's swinging groove, he gets that acoustic to really project! (And of course, the Charlie Christian vibe!) Tim Lerch's tones and harmonic ear are wonderful. And Dave Stryker really had that groove going as well - I want to learn some of those bits! Makes me want to play!
This is an incredible concept!! Would love more of this so much. Instead of then just saying what they did, it would be cool to interview them about it. Tim was great. He kept tempo well and wasn’t rushing or show-offy, just making great music.
I prefer players that don't go too far out and instead keep in mind what song they're playing. The mood the song has is a very important thing to me. Therefore, Cecil's playing really made me smile! Beautiful single-note runs, smart chord choices and just the right amount of trickery! I could listen to that for hours! ❤
@@ChaseMaddox Oh and one more thing... Bends. Way too many people think bending strings is forbidden in jazz. If that were the case, Gábor Szabó would never have made a single record. 😄
I agree with you 100%. I think that is the mark of great musicianship. It’s ok to play outside. But you need to keep the listener knowing where they are in the song.
This is one of the best formats on TH-cam. Many TH-cam channels do a horrible thing called pattern interrupts where they do annoying things throughout the video and make cheesy distracting jokes to increase viewer confusion and thus retention. Conversely this was a normal straightforward way to organize a video and I appreciate that.
Took me a couple sittings to absorb all this. All the renditions were great and the players were very generous to share their thoughts. From rubato versions to swing to hard rhythmic bopping. Excellent.
Thanks for making this incredible lesson/performance - one of the best things ever for jazz guitar!! Super cool!. Many many revelations , each player brought something compelling to the the table - Max light was wild, loved Cecil’s simple tasteful melody statement , could go on and on Lots of material here to keep listening to and learn from Thanks !!!!!
Really cool concept, Chase! Didn't see any mention of Graham Dechter's playing. His time feel and groove can provide a treasure trove of study alone--and his sound REALLY fills the room, in person or on video. Check out his playing on The Lineage Trio--classic, bright, and swinging. Great teacher as well--helped me develop my sound! It'd be awesome to do this again. What about Peter Bernstein, Andy Brown, Bobby Broom, Bruce Foreman, Ed Cherry, Julian Lage, Mark Whitfield, Russell Malone...? The list goes on. Impressive work with getting all these great musicians to play on one tune. Please, please, please, keep the ball rolling!
They were ALL amazing and it's hard to remember back to which was the most interesting/appealing. But I do remember feeling particularly energized by Max Light, Tim Lerch, and Graham Dechter. I fee like those three guys took a tune everyone knows, and did something really unique. Also Raul Midon's version was really joyous, which I loved, but, as I said, they were all wonderful.
That's a good way to put it and I agree. I'm a guitarist but I'm not so immersed in jazz that I can hold on to some of the wilder rides (especially with no backing track). Tim still went on a journey but I never felt lost. Also as soon as I saw and heard his tele I knew he was a bit different and wasn't disappointed.
@@silphv yeah, I play too but am also not into the 'wilder rides' of jazz as you put it so Tim's version was perfect for me. The fact that Autumn Leaves is my all time fav song also helped :)
Really great video - every player gave a different but valid and beautiful interpretation on this classic standard. Going to have to listen through a few more times to each one.
Wow, I didn't know any of these players. All were great but the two JS's -- John Storie and Jonathan Stout -- were the ones I most wanted to listen to over and over. I'm checking out everybody's stuff online.
just getting started to watch and so far. 1. Barry's tone is pure jazz guitar. sweet 2. going to thouroughky enjoy not only all the music Im about to hear but the instrument eye candy
I never EVER supposed at this time of my life I'd learn SO MUCH using one of the most underrated tunes on the American-Jazz Songbook (well, at least here among Brazilian supposed-to-be jazz players). I'm still shocked with the first performance!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Lots of cool ideas from everyone here. My man Jonathan Stout brings in the swing though, making it the most listenable to me and the one I would keep going back to.
This vid is a phenomenal teaching tool. Listening is the only activity in music and in life, more important than playing. Thank you for the contribution.
Thanks Chase for posting this. All really great players (and at least one I know of is also a KILLER singer). Sincerely appreciated Mr. Stout bringing the old school playing as well as all of the other diverse of playing styles (and yea KILLER chops too ).
Great performances and all wonderful players, some that I hadn't heard before! I hate to pick one because I don't like approaching music like an Olympic sport, but I have to say that Barry Greene is a tough act to follow for any world-class player. So much interesting stuff in there and so well executed, a piece of art!
Excellent video. I really enjoyed this, not only was the playing and improvising great, the philosophies that all these players have about music, was valuable, and insightful for me, and the differences in sound, approach, etc, gave me a well rounded listen. I'm gonna look for more of these on your channel, so thx again. All of these were great, I watched ALL twice, Graham Decthers version blows me away.
Thank you! I’ve got 3 more of these videos types on my channel. One with a group of guitarists playing a blues and my most recent with guitarists playing over a ballad 🤘
Brilliant video 👏🏿👏🏿👌🏿 I am a Bass Guitarist, but I love RHYTHM Guitarists a lot (chords), especially in the Jazz genre, but also in other genres. It's the same way I love Pianists with a great left hand (comping). Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Wow I completely enjoyed this compilation of talent and ideas for interpretation! I wish more would have been said about the rigs and how the various tones were achieved; Tim Lerch get my vote for most gorgeous clean tone, and Cecil Alexander for best use of overdrive, his tone harkened back to Wes M. Thanks all!
Graham Dechter, Barry Greene and Max Light were particularly inspiring for me here. However, these are all amazing guitarists and each take is special.
What a great video! They were all amazing, and you've introduced a bunch of fantastic new-to-me musicians. So much to learn from the depth and variety of approaches and concepts, but if i had to call out anything in particular, it would be the musicality of Cecil Alexander's phrasing - so tasty! ❤
John Storie, a little shout out for your Fender D'Aquisto Elite! I purchased one (Antique Burst?) in the mid 1980's. (~$700) Great sounding guitar acoustically and through any amp. Also nice to play bigger chord stretches with the shorter scale. Eventually passed it along to my son. Jazz On!
Yeah man! It's been a fun guitar to have in the stable. It was a gift from another guitarist, and it certainly has a retro vibe to it! Thanks for checking out the video - honored to be on here with so many great guitarists
@GOODTARGETBARTZ Yes, he is playing a Fender D'Aquisto. You can search - 1986 Fender Guitar Print Ads Robben Ford Tommy Tedesco Master Series if you want more information from "back in the day".
..hey Chase!..i’ve been watching your videos from the background for awhile now man, did a few years at Berklee many moons ago, a lot of rock and blues playing since and doing a lot of self learning for the last five years or so using all the resources that were not available to folks in the 1970s and 80s.. This idea of a bunch of super players doing their thing on a given song is one of the best I’ve seen on YT yet and I’m fairly familiar with all the other people sharing strong content like Jens, Nathan Borton, guys teaching Barry Harris concepts etc.. ..last thought..the sound of Tim Lerch is incredible with those Charlie Christian pickups..Fender! Thanks for doing this..i hope you continue this type of viewpoint in the future..Victor in NY
Before listening to everyone else (and I know it's gonna be great), I'm pausing after Barry Greene's performance to say how much I loved it! I've purchased many lessons over some years from Barry and they are phenomenal. OK, back to the play button ...
Everyone is fantastic, Grahams performance blows me away. But I think I will listen again to everyone. Also enjoy the Melodic phrases of Raul and how he superimposed the harmonic with his lines
First let me say thank you chase for put this together I’m a new student of jazz and have been exploring different versions Joe pass, Barney kessel, hank garland,Jim hall, Wynton Marsalis, but to listen to these guys talk about their thoughts or motives is like a class and for that I am very appreciative. Dan Wilson is one of my favorites caught a show in Cleveland ohio of him doing some miles Davis stuff it was amazing
Thank you. This was an education on jazz guitar. So many times you play a standard and get bored with it, but hear these artists play all different ways with different approaches makes you rethink the meaning of standards and the ways to approach them. Even at first viewing, I got a little something from each to try to combine some new approaches, with new ideas. It would be great for you to do this again with a different standard, and may a couple different players too.. to expand out ideas and approaches. Thank you.
@@jonathanstout6618..hey Jon!..thanks for sharing your background information on the great pre bebop guitarists..my teacher Jack Hotop was a gentleman of that generation and emphasized listening to Charlie Christian as a prerequisite to all that came after..love your playing here..thanks for be a part of Chase’s presentation here
Another swingin cat with tons of fresh ideas is Jon Hunt (clarinet)! Would love to see these two Jons play together but Jon Hunt is in Australia. youtube.com/@jonhuntmusic
This is a fantastic idea !.Sad to say a few of these guys I wasn't familiar with at all. All of them such masters. I dig Stryker the most can't say why- beautifully developed little solo. The guy taking through all the keys was just a freak of nature (in a good way). Keep it up Chase!
Which performance was your favorite? What concept/approach did you find most appealing? Let me know! 🤘
My Top Three are Barry Greene (for concept), Tim Lerch (for tone) and Jonathan Stout (for originality). I watched this video twice and I must say that all of the performers are world class. I did not want to watch it a third time because I would probably have to change my mind...
Thanks for making this possible, Chase Maddox! 👏
Mr. Tim Lerch- but love them all.
Cecil Alexander, Barry Greene, Graham Dechter - especially liked these
cecil reminded me of barney kessell occasionally there, wowzers. He rips but also has sick feel.
Tim Lerch….soo good!
Thank you so much Chase it was a real pleasure to watch this vid and enjoy and be inspired by all of these fine players. I’m honored and more than a bit humbled to have been part of the gang. Tim
Appreciate your work and playing on this!
Tone, taste and telecasters… so true
Your take on this was phenomenal. Thanks so much - inspiring.
I’ve got a bunch of your truefire courses and doing the 7 day trial of solo sensai all day. Thank you so much for helping me to make more beautiful music. I love your lessons cause of your calming presence then I learned you were a zen monk and I thought “that tracks”.
Tim Lerch, focus, complexity, tones, sounds, cleanliness, timing, oh and an impressive telecaster, and Jonathan Stout, so classic, with the sound and the effortless playing.

I agree. The fist thing that hit me was the tone. Perfect execution.
Musicality and originality and genius also come to mind
That was dope af and I subbed.
My 2 favorite from the video!
You're lucky to have had such a great player for a teacher.
Definitely!
I can't even imagine how effort you put it. I really enjoyed entire video. My pick is Tim Lerch :)
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Tim Learch is bringing back the one and only great Ed Bickert. Wonderful.
All really good and very stimulating ideas from all Barry Green was my favourite great inspirational video thank ypu
Thanks David! 🤘
With Barry you gave us The Dessert Before The Main Course, Love him and our RIP Friend Pat Martino ❤
Haha that’s one way to put it! 🙌
I loved Dan Wilson’s version, so creative and technically dazzling, but he always keeps the melody close by.
Thanks for listening! 🤘
Liked them all, but Barry Greene’s chord choices/ arrangement made him my favorite.
Thanks for watching!
Cecil Alexander, for his melodic soulful solo, Stout's mastery of chordal swing, and all the others for being so damn good.
Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks so much, cheers!
Holy cow, Max Light was incredible. I loved that so much
Glad to hear it!
Graham Dechter is so incredible and this clip is no exception. Thank you!
He really went in on this one! 🤘
Ive never heard of Dan Wilson but his performance blew me away. Loved the Monk bass fills he did and he has amazing chops that fit right into the song. Discovering Dan was alone worth the watching of this video. Max and Cecil were were my 2 other favorites. Great job everyone!
Glad to have introduced you to Dan’s playing! 🤘
Check his work with the late Joey DeFrancesco, e.g. "100 Ways". Amazing player.
Raul Middow, great guitarist that I did not know. Wonder how many more like him that are out there ?
Enjoyed all the playing and particularly how different everyones approach was. Thanks for doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
Around 2011 I attended a Tommy Emmanuel concert at the Florida Theater in Jacksonville. Barry Greene was the guest guitarist. OMG, Barry Greene’s playing is just incredible. He played a few Django pieces with Tommy which were surreal. If you have the chance to hear Barry go do it, he’s a phenomenal musician.
Absolutely! 🤘
Jonathan strout did some sick things, loved his swing. Very very cool
Thanks, even with an extra "r" added. Ha!
I thought he’d add some interesting contrast to the other guys. Glad you enjoyed!
Jonathan had just fantastic tones from his guitars.
More videos like this please!!
Working on it!
I didn't watch the whole video yet, but Tim Lerch made it for me, not only a master in technique, but also extremely pleasing and full of feeling. Loved it as a guitarist but mostly as a human
Thanks for watching Alessandro! 🤘
Tim Lerch…. The tone! He easily brought new unique beauty to this already beautiful song! All the subtly gorgeous dynamic manipulation he is able to apply to coax this magic from his instrument is so remarkable. Deep, Pure, musical, expressive beauty! Sorry for gushing!
Gush away! 🤘
I loved Tim Lerch’s performance. I guess it was the most comprehensible for me, very melodic. And also liked the more vintage “Charlie Christian” style a lot by Jonathan Stout ❤.
Tims playing is so subtle and and mellow and that is the general goal that I think we should have on a guitar very relaxing not too much tension solo but just beautiful because it fits with the song

Wow, thanks!
Mind blowing… my thoughts, exactly.
awesome video. I am always searching for pros playing standards that I can learn from. these are all amazing and eclectic examples of virtuosic playing but with elements that any of us can use to approach these tunes with. amazing stuff! what a wonderful display of the diversity of jazz guitar!
Glad you like them! 🙌
thanks to the players for taking "the challenge" and thank you chase putting this together. what a great concept. all the guitarists bring something to the party - some of whom i wasn't familiar with. this is an absolute treasure trove - almost encyclopedic. so much to digest here. will be coming back again and again.
My pleasure! That’s the idea! I wanted this to be super valuable and something people would want to come back to again and again.
Love that tele & the tones it produces. Great player pulling the trigger on it.
Thanks for watching! 🤘
Great to see this concept brought into the jazz space. I really dig Jonathan Stout’s playing; he’s a modern master of a somewhat lost style. Tim Lerch makes everything sound like warm honey. Just great all around.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Thanks so much!
@@campusfive I second this, they're all great players but that one really stood out to me for sure
Wonderful all around. Thanks for doing this, Chase, and thanks to all of this world-class musicians for playing so great!
Hey Adam! Thanks for checking it out, and glad you appreciate it. I'm a fan of your channel as well 🙏
What a great video, thanks so much. I'm curious whether anyone knows which archtop guitar Tim Lerch is holding in the still photo at 14:36. It's a beauty.

Thanks for your thoughts! 🙏
Thanks man, honored to be on the clip with so many outstanding guitarists
Love this! All outstanding approaches. Max Light, man- every note so round and chewy :)
Tim had me swinging. The development of his ideas unfolded beautifully too. Terrific
Glad you enjoyed!

That was the goal! And all I asked them was to play the tune in their style. No requests for how to play it, what tempo, etc.
All were awesome performances - everyone owned it big time. Loved the old time from J Stout - that was a treat.
Glad you thought so!
Cheers and thanks!
Thanks for making this incredible lesson/performance - one of the best things ever for jazz guitar!!
Super cool!. Many many revelations , each player brought something compelling to the the table - Max light was wild, loved Cecil’s simple tasteful melody statement , could go on and on
Lots of material here to keep listening to and learn from
Thanks !!!!!
Thanks for checking it out, and feel free to keep coming back! 🤘
Dan Wilson is the craziest man in today's jazz scene😂😂😂
Man is on fire! 🔥
Tim Lerch´s playing is on another level. All of these ara amazing guitar players. Excelent video man!!
Yes they are!
Those split second decisions I see Barry do, amazing. I'll quickly go see the rest. Thanks Maddox
Thanks for watching!
Really cool concept, Chase! Didn't see any mention of Graham Dechter's playing. His time feel and groove can provide a treasure trove of study alone--and his sound REALLY fills the room, in person or on video. Check out his playing on The Lineage Trio--classic, bright, and swinging. Great teacher as well--helped me develop my sound!

Impressive work with getting all these great musicians to play on one tune. Please, please, please, keep the ball rolling!
I was also blown away by Graham’s playing as you might be able to tell from my reactions. All the guys killed it! Great suggestions 👌
My fav was Graham Dechter hands down loved where he took this piece.
Dan Wilson plays so beautifully, such a class act, using Monk basslines, that's original and Dan is a true original, ca.t imagine that being bested.
Appreciate your thoughts! 🙏
They were ALL amazing and it's hard to remember back to which was the most interesting/appealing. But I do remember feeling particularly energized by Max Light, Tim Lerch, and Graham Dechter. I fee like those three guys took a tune everyone knows, and did something really unique. Also Raul Midon's version was really joyous, which I loved, but, as I said, they were all wonderful.
Thanks for watching! 🤘
Tim Lerch, as he goes on the journey of the song he takes you with him, never feel like I'm
being left behind and enjoyed every note along the way.
Thanks for watching!
That's a good way to put it and I agree. I'm a guitarist but I'm not so immersed in jazz that I can hold on to some of the wilder rides (especially with no backing track). Tim still went on a journey but I never felt lost. Also as soon as I saw and heard his tele I knew he was a bit different and wasn't disappointed.

Definitely checking these guys out, subscribing to some of their channels already!
This is a fantastic video. Thanks for organising this. The song is so melodic. Wonderful sounding guitars. Finger style is the best.
Thanks Colton! 🤘
Awesome video brother! Glad to see so many great musicians all play this tune 🙌
More to come! 🤘
Nice assist!
Been playing over 60 years.
This is great to use this approach as it gives us new ideas on great old standards and others. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘
great stuff. I especially enjoyed Max Light’s playing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Kasper!
Such freedom and elegance. Damn. Especially liked him trading melody phrases through the octaves.
i loved Tims fingerstyle on telecaster. Also John its clear melodi the hole way !
Appreciate you listening! 🙏

What a great video! They were all amazing, and you've introduced a bunch of fantastic new-to-me musicians. So much to learn from the depth and variety of approaches and concepts, but if i had to call out anything in particular, it would be the musicality of Cecil Alexander's phrasing - so tasty! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 👌👌
Great concept and I can only say that the originality of all performers was very inspiring indeed for a " classical " player.Great job thanks so much.
Thanks for listening!
Amazing, all of them … I could appreciate all the different subtle variations. Very rich. Very inspiring. Thank you everyone.
Thanks for listening and appreciating! 🙏
Jonathan Stout, Dave Stryker, and Cecil Alexander for me. Great video 👌🎶🙂
John Storie, a little shout out for your Fender D'Aquisto Elite! I purchased one (Antique Burst?) in the mid 1980's. (~$700) Great sounding guitar acoustically and through any amp. Also nice to play bigger chord stretches with the shorter scale. Eventually passed it along to my son. Jazz On!
Yeah man! It's been a fun guitar to have in the stable. It was a gift from another guitarist, and it certainly has a retro vibe to it! Thanks for checking out the video - honored to be on here with so many great guitarists
@GOODTARGETBARTZ Yes, he is playing a Fender D'Aquisto. You can search - 1986 Fender Guitar Print Ads Robben Ford Tommy Tedesco Master Series if you want more information from "back in the day".
Tim all the way.
Great video. Wonderful to hear how different musicians approach the same tune. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
..hey Chase!..i’ve been watching your videos from the background for awhile now man, did a few years at Berklee many moons ago, a lot of rock and blues playing since and doing a lot of self learning for the last five years or so using all the resources that were not available to folks in the 1970s and 80s..
This idea of a bunch of super players doing their thing on a given song is one of the best I’ve seen on YT yet and I’m fairly familiar with all the other people sharing strong content like Jens, Nathan Borton, guys teaching Barry Harris concepts etc..
..last thought..the sound of Tim Lerch is incredible with those Charlie Christian pickups..Fender!
Thanks for doing this..i hope you continue this type of viewpoint in the future..Victor in NY
Hey thanks for your comment! I’m glad you dig it and thought it was presented well 👌
Tim Lerch, man…every single time 🔥
I love Jon Stouts playing!!
Cheers and thanks!
He’s great!
I really enjoyed Barry Greene and Max light..and of course Cecil too
Thanks for watching!
Before listening to everyone else (and I know it's gonna be great), I'm pausing after Barry Greene's performance to say how much I loved it! I've purchased many lessons over some years from Barry and they are phenomenal. OK, back to the play button ...
I purchased a whole 4 years from Barry 😁Glad you’re digging it, enjoy! 🤘
Tim, as always, 👍!
Mr.Stout #6 (Guy in the suit) Has it! First time I've had a chance to hear him. Nerd blows me away... Excellent interpretation Mr. Stout.
Everyone is fantastic, Grahams performance blows me away. But I think I will listen again to everyone. Also enjoy the Melodic phrases of Raul and how he superimposed the harmonic with his lines
Thanks for listening!
Absolutely incredible performances!!!!!
This was really cool, liked the wrap w Cecil up bluesy feel, just right w all
Thanks for digging! 🤘
First let me say thank you chase for put this together I’m a new student of jazz and have been exploring different versions Joe pass, Barney kessel, hank garland,Jim hall, Wynton Marsalis, but to listen to these guys talk about their thoughts or motives is like a class and for that I am very appreciative. Dan Wilson is one of my favorites caught a show in Cleveland ohio of him doing some miles Davis stuff it was amazing
My pleasure, Joe! Glad you got value out of this video, and be sure to check out the other videos and lessons I have on this channel 🤘
I usually wouldn’t watch such a long TH-cam video, but this was an awesome idea. Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
Glad you gave it a chance! 🤘
That much talent and hard work.. Beautiful compilation!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. This was an education on jazz guitar. So many times you play a standard and get bored with it, but hear these artists play all different ways with different approaches makes you rethink the meaning of standards and the ways to approach them. Even at first viewing, I got a little something from each to try to combine some new approaches, with new ideas. It would be great for you to do this again with a different standard, and may a couple different players too.. to expand out ideas and approaches. Thank you.
That’s the idea! Thanks for watching 🙌
Loved this intimate glimpse into all these brilliant musicians. At the end it was a prayer saying there is room for us all.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
Thank you Chase, what a great idea! Hopefully more to come.
You bet! 🤘
Can you meet and interview the jazz guitar legend whos still alive today?
Kenny Burrell & John Pisano
Its will be a exited content!
Great video Chase! I enjoyed the different approaches to this classic. My favorites are Cecil Alexander and Dave Stryker. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, Jerry! 🤘
Jon Stout for sure. I'm biased towards swing but he had lots of fresh ideas. Wish it was longer.
Thanks so much! It's funny that sometimes "old school" can be "fresh"!
@@jonathanstout6618..hey Jon!..thanks for sharing your background information on the great pre bebop guitarists..my teacher Jack Hotop was a gentleman of that generation and emphasized listening to Charlie Christian as a prerequisite to all that came after..love your playing here..thanks for be a part of Chase’s presentation here
Check out his Instagram and site for more! 👌
Another swingin cat with tons of fresh ideas is Jon Hunt (clarinet)! Would love to see these two Jons play together but Jon Hunt is in Australia.

This is a fantastic idea !.Sad to say a few of these guys I wasn't familiar with at all. All of them such masters. I dig Stryker the most can't say why- beautifully developed little solo. The guy taking through all the keys was just a freak of nature (in a good way). Keep it up Chase!
Thanks Robert! 🤘
My vote goes to Tim Lerch. It was a nice mix of tasteful arranging and improvisation which gave it a more complete listening experience.
Thanks for watching!
