Hi all,
Now that I have more time I composed this tune. Can't really define the genre (acid jazz, jazz hip hop..).

Styles used :

Jazzhop.sty (Part A)
Torment.sty (Part B)

Guitar used : Fender Mustang 1966
Effects : THU-FULL
BIAB 2020 (I received my 2022, haven't installed it yet)
Mixed in Reaper

Hope you will enjoy it!

Absolutely fantastic.

Excellent guitar playing and a spot on mix. Loved the video also.

I would call this smooth jazz. YMMV

Loved it.

Great, you sound like a guitarist I like by the name of RJ Ronquillo. Awesome session guy. Nice playing WITH the sax. Terrific work!

As Mario said: Excellent playing, great mix.

I love it as well. laugh

Mr. Napoli...

There is nothing like watching/listening to a musician who knows how to play his/her instrument! Your performance came off as soulful and deep-feeling.

Forget about defining the genre. It's simply memorable music with a mellow groove and a laid-back feel that is perfect for repeat listening.

Hi Solace,

Very nice guitar playing.

You just need some lyrics now.

Best Regards
Nigel

Jazz hop. The rhythm is too Latinate/hip hop to be smooth jazz to my ears. I rather preferred the non sax parts.

Masterful playing. You make it seem so effortless. Well done!

You are right, who cares about the genre, music is music! Thanks for your kind words!

Such good tone! And the melody is perfect and perfectly played, Angelo. The sax was a nice touch. I'm with Mario on the Smooth Jazz, but not a fan of categories. I'd put this one in the class of Really Good Instrumentals.

OMG I come back tonight and see all those comments! I was not expecting that, I'm so pleasantly surprised! Thank you all guys for your kind words of support!

This is so excellent...what ever style it is or isn't it is GOOD music...the video was mesmerizing to watch you play so effortlessly (or so it seemed)...great listening...thanks for posting.
Posted By: Torrey Bliss Re: Solace - 01/22/22 01:29 PM
Angelomusic,

That was awesome! You have a SUPER tone going for you with Mustang (I used to have one and always regretted getting rid of it)

This is one of the very best smooth jazz pieces I have heard here! There is no "noodling" going on with the guitar, it has serious structure! Such fluid and soulful chops being played!

I saw this posting a couple of days ago and have been meaning to give it a spin....glad that I did! Loved it! Thanks and take care, Torrey.

Very well played.
Cool sax.
Good music.

Rob and Anne-Marie
Posted By: Angelomusic Re: Solace - 01/31/22 01:10 PM
Thank you so much guys!
Yeah Torrey, I love the Mustang. It belonged to my father. Each time I go back to France (where the guitar is, at my father's house) it is a delight to play with it. Kind of a tribute to my father.
Thanks again guys!

Outstanding playing and tone.
Very soulful chops.

And you wrapped it all up with an excellent BiaB session and mix.

Also It was nice to have Jeff Beck play after you on YouTube!

Well done and we enjoyed it.
