Like your playing. Was playing along. Was playing with various notes. Sometimes matching notes. Glad to come across your playing. I'll probably try on piano. The best.
Aside from the beautiful counterpoint of your compositions, I find the sound of the strings without being plucked with a pick giving a warmer sound. A sound that is perfect for these standards.
Richie, these are wonderful arrangements. A couple I've bought from you in the past and have woven some of your voicings and reharmonizations into my arrangements. Thanks so much for your contributions to chord melody. It is such a rewarding way to play jazz guitar.
My favorites are : Satin Doll, Green Dolphin Street, Funny Valentine but that being said, i love them all. I enjoyed also all your intro and outro on all of them.
Richie - All 12 solos are really pretty. Satin Doll, Summertime, and Green Dolphin Street were my favorites. Love the walking bass in your arrangements.
Thanks for your feedback Ron! Those 3 tunes seem to be among the favorites which is helpful to know. I'm a sucker for ballads but I will have to arrange more tunes with walking bass lines...
Great arrangements! Stompin at the Savoy had the best feel, Green Dolphin had an amazing intro, Summertime had fantastic movement, but my favorite by far was Alone Together, you took it to another level.
Thanks for your feedback Bill! Green Dolphin seems to be among the favorites with most but I'm glad that you like Body and Soul which regardless of my arrangement, is seldom played or appreciated by many guitarists. It is a must know among sax players. The art of the ballad!
All of these tunes are nice. I particularly enjoyed Satin Doll, Summertime and Georgia. In general, I think a bit more syncopation and interspersed solo lines would be interesting … but that’s personal preferences. They’re all great chord melodies.
Thanks Alain! I know what you mean by the syncopation and interspersed lines . I normally don't play these tunes this way. I usually improvise around them with more of those elements. These performances have no improvisation and are played almost exactly as written on the PDF so people can follow them and learn them...
@@RichieZellon I understand, it’s a fine way of helping jazz guitarists learn to play these standards. Improvisation will come later. Thank you for all the great instructional material you post on You Tube, I appreciate it !
Thanks! Misty is among my personal favorites because of all the counterpoint and inner moving lines, but you're the only one to mention it so far. :( I play a lot of these on classical guitar and they sound great because I use a lot of open strings and classical guitar techniques to begin with.
I find I like sections of different renditions best. Sections of Green Dolphin, Satin Doll....the colors in Blue and Green...the pacing in Body and Soul...sometimes I didn't want to hear the finger style mini arpeggio openings of the chords, and wanted a heavier lower E string. Maybe I just wanted a less bright guitar sound....
Thanks for your feedback! Note that TH-cam compresses all the audio and especially emphasizes the high frequencies. It also depends on what speakers you listen to them. It sounds very bright on cell phones and some laptops. Other than that, the arrangements are based on my personal taste which naturally is going to appeal to some and not to others. :)
Hi, I have a question with respect to your Bebop Guitar Improv Series. Is it written in tabulature form? And are there any prerequisite requires for the series. I' msorry is this is inappropriate/unrelated to your great vid but I can't find the answers on the BGIS webpage. Cheers
You probably didn't click on "tell me more". Anyhow, it does include TAB and you should be able to find all sorts of detailed info here: bebopguitar.richiezellon.com/about-volume-1 Be sure to watch the videos! If you still have questions, send me an email: bebopguitar@richiezellon.com
I wouldn't trust the former NY mayor and attorney to teach me arpeggios...🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, these studies are for classical guitar and don't utilize the scales and fingerings needed for jazz. Most of it is triadic from what I've been told.
So glad I came across your music 🙏❤watching from capetown south africa
Thanks, enjoy!
Right there is what it’s all about ladies and gentlemen. Gorgeous Richie, Thank you!
Thanks Lindsay!
Wonderful tone and it's sweet how the bass comes thru. Thx for putting out.
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Richie! All Blessings, Peace, and Light! Be well always!
🙏🔥🙏
Like your playing. Was playing along. Was playing with various notes. Sometimes matching notes. Glad to come across your playing. I'll probably try on piano. The best.
Love you and your hat it makes me so happy
Thanks for the beautiful concert Richie! I'm looking forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed It Thane!

Thanks Derek and I'm happy to hear they have been useful in your playing!
Thanks Richie. I bought Satin Doll after watching this video. Your arrangements are very nice. Thank you Marc. ✌️🎸🎶☀️
Thanks Marc, enjoy!
My favorites are : Satin Doll, Green Dolphin Street, Funny Valentine but that being said, i love them all. I enjoyed also all your intro and outro on all of them.
Thanks Donat! Seems like Satin Doll and Green Dolphin are among the favorites.
So beautiful arrangements ❤️❤️✨✨
I'm enjoying lots of favorite tunes! I'll like to learn this skill for playing between my vocals at solo gigs.
Richie - All 12 solos are really pretty. Satin Doll, Summertime, and Green Dolphin Street were my favorites. Love the walking bass in your arrangements.

Lovely, Richie.
Thank you🎸👍👍
These sound great. I dig that the focus of these arrangements is on melody and pocket. I wish I could play guitar like this!
Thx Danny! It takes time but if you put in the effort you'll get there!
Beautiful playing, Richie. I love the intros and endings.
Thanks James!
Love the Body and Soul arrangement. Fresh take on a tired melody!
Thanks for your feedback!
What a wonderful set of songs. I found all the arrangements captivating and especially loved the tasty ending on Misty. Thanks Richie 👍
Thanks Bernard! Glad you specially enjoyed Misty. It's actually one of my favorites from the arranging standpoint.
Great . Bass line on Misty is really good 😀
I wish I could play like you do..
Great playing,
and beautiful guitars
Great arrangements! Stompin at the Savoy had the best feel, Green Dolphin had an amazing intro, Summertime had fantastic movement, but my favorite by far was Alone Together, you took it to another level.
Thanks Brian for your feedback, it's much appreciated!

Thanks for your feedback Donald...much appreciated!
Спасибо!
You're welcome!
My favourites: Body and Soul; Green Dolphin Street.

Muito bom Ritchie! Podia lançar um livro também!
Sim! Obrigado
exellent !!
Hi, I think I like ”Misty” best .Wonder how all theese great arrangements would sound like on a classical guitar?
Thanks! Misty is among my personal favorites because of all the counterpoint and inner moving lines, but you're the only one to mention it so far. :(
I play a lot of these on classical guitar and they sound great because I use a lot of open strings and classical guitar techniques to begin with.
The way summer time was played , it sounded like wayfaring stranger . But yes it was summer time.
I find I like sections of different renditions best. Sections of Green Dolphin, Satin Doll....the colors in Blue and Green...the pacing in Body and Soul...sometimes I didn't want to hear the finger style mini arpeggio openings of the chords, and wanted a heavier lower E string.

@@RichieZellon Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'll check out the links. cheers
Blue in Green - How did you get Bill Evans inside your guitar?
LOL...I wish...Thanks Ken!
What do you think of Guiliani 120 arpeggios studies? Useful?
I wouldn't trust the former NY mayor and attorney to teach me arpeggios...🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, these studies are for classical guitar and don't utilize the scales and fingerings needed for jazz. Most of it is triadic from what I've been told.
Yes he is right. I’m classical player and they were great for me. But no help for jazz guitar fingerings
👏👏👏
None above. I prefer Autumn Leaves😁
