I've been coming back to this video every couple of months for two years now. I get more out of it every time. One of the best lessons I've seen, on one of my favorite tunes.
Just happened upon this one while browsing through the tube for versions of this tune. A favourite of mine since I heard it for the first time. Great idea to play this fingerstyle - reminds me a bit of "St.James Infirmary". One thing I like to do is change the B-7b5 into an E7b9 (or Bdim7) by changing the a on th g string to g# - makes for a nice transition. Thanks! Tom
Great lesson (somehow I missed this 2 years ago!). This is my favorite song on David's great album - "Blues, Ballads and a Pop Song". Do yourself a favor and check out this album is you don't have it. (of course, Grant Green's version is great as well) Thanks David, John WA, USA
Thanks John! I just found out there's a live video of this from the recent Chet Atkins convention in Nashville - it starts at around 7:38 in. I can't do much about the ambient fiddle leaking in from the room down the hall :-) th-cam.com/video/zh9_cndMjIc/w-d-xo.html
I will! I love Oscar Peterson. There's a great live record, "at the Concertgebouw" (I think I spelled that right) with Herb Ellis on guitar and Ray Brown on bass.
I do not currently give Skype lessons, but am working on a way to provide some feedback and practice direction on a more personal basis. When I do, I'll have news about it on my site (fretboardconfidential.com). In the meantime, thanks for watching!
My favorite Jazz, blues album is George Benson's second release entitled 'uptown. It has an earnest and fire about it that jumps out at you from the opening track right to the close. Produced by the legendary John Hammond and his unique, captivating way of bringing the listener into the session. This is a headphones, lights off, recliner experience from start to finish. Incendiary, pre-pop Benson guitar and vocal. The insatiable Ronnie Cubrie on baritone. Master of grove, Lonnie Smith on B3. Bennie Green, trombone & Jimmy Lovelace on the kit. It doesn't get much better than that.My stand out track is 'clockwise'. A royal kick in the jazz player, wanna be yob from the get go.Yummy!
Thank you, man, for advancing my comprehension of this beautiful piece. Now, back to work.

Tremendous lesson Thank you !!!
Awesome video! Gave me some cool perspectives on how to approach this tune
Killer tune, love the lesson to play it fingerstyle 🙏
Great lesson David just getting into this
Oops I missed this one. It's always good to spend time arranging by ear during idle moments. Cheers !
Thanks for this!
Wow. Thanks so much for following up and posting this! It is amazing how you pack so much into a 14 minute video lesson!
Thanks Bruce! I'm always trying to keep them as short as possible! :-)
Great stuff. Thanks for this. My weekend is now sorted.
Happy to help :-)
Interesting lesson. Thank you for all these great guitar moments you share.
Glad you're enjoying :-)

Excellent, as always! Thank you so much.
You're most welcome. Thanks for checking it out!
Marvelous - as usual
Thanks Daniel!
Another five minutes of you taking off on this would be terrific!
There *is* a performance video from a couple weeks back on the same tune. If you missed it: th-cam.com/video/5x60w0ob1F4/w-d-xo.html
Often wondered about the influence of Chansons on that generation that spent so much time in France...

Definitely check out Oscar Peterson Trio +1 Clark Terry. Great album. The second track has a vibe similar to Idle Moments at a little faster pace
I will! I love Oscar Peterson. There's a great live record, "at the Concertgebouw" (I think I spelled that right) with Herb Ellis on guitar and Ray Brown on bass.
And Lone me a Dime !!!!

That's a great one! There's also lots of hot stuff on some of the early Jack McDuff things he did.
