[@wesleyc.4937]

Boy, that montuno in octaves has a ragtime feel... kinda!

[@vincebrizio953]

Good morning, I'm Vincenzo, an Italian Who lives in Nl . I always follow his channel, you play really good!!! I would like some advice maybe you know it :
I would like to change the volume and tone potentiometers (which don't work properly), of my jazz guitar bought used (Ibanez AFJ81), with only one Seymour Duncan SH-2N pickup. I would like to buy 2 quality potentiometers that fit there. What do you advise me?

[@1299Nello]

Hi Richie thank you always for your beatifull video lesson can you tell me the name of tune you play on the beginy of video ?

[@RichieZellon]

Thanks, the name of the tune is La Prima de Estela

[@1299Nello]

@@RichieZellon thank you Is really nice tune

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

Hello Richie, is the Autumn Leaves comping at the end , is that in the Lesson package? Thanks

[@RichieZellon]

Sorry, no it isn't...just all the separate montuno patterns..

[@kenzeo]

In the beginning, you were counting 4 in the space of the two bars shown, yet each bar had 4 beats per measure. What am I missing?

[@wesleyc.4937]

The rewind button?

[@RichieZellon]

That's because I was counting in half time!

[@davew4174]

Yes more like this, should we count/feel in half time then?@@RichieZellon

[@kenzeo]

Congrats on knowing everything, except providing me with the right answer like Ritchie did below :)@@wesleyc.4937

[@RichieZellon]

It depends on the tempo. Usually if you're going to play uptempo feeling it in half time is better. Time is a relative concept though...
