No Students for Two Hours Last Tuesday I had 3 students cancel at the last minute, thus I had two hours of time alone at the teaching studio. So to pass the time I outlined a couple of songs. This is the first song. I wrote down the chord progression. Then when I got home I put the chords in Band-in-a-Box using the Slow EZListening Quartet [85MST] style , selected my sound choices, and laid down the guitar part. The bass, drums and piano are verbatim from BiaB; these are all MIDI tracks. The guitar part was deleted. This is an after hours jam. I hope you like this quick and dirty.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Man, we could listen all day to that. If I had those chops you'd have to force feed me while I kept playing  Sooooooo easy to get lost in it and just float along with it....but then it ends. Very Nice J&B

Mario,
A thoroughly enjoyable listen. One to just sit back - and float to...
Delightful. Nicely played. Good mix.

Thanx to all whom listened and the very nice comments they left!
J&B - you are way too kind. I have never heard my chops and force feeding in the same sentence before!
Floyd, I'm glad that you enjoyed this one.
Ian, I have found that sometimes just a quick and dirty one, even if it has a few warts, is better than a long drawn out one. As I have said before I have been known to polish a song until it is really dull.
Scott, the guitar tone is from an inexpensive Jay Turser jazz box with 13-56 flat wound strings straight into Amplitude 3.
Charlie, thanx for listening and the very nice comments.
Guenter, I teach guitar, bass and music theory part time at a local music studio.

Very nice listening experience. Takes me back to the nights when you could easily find such great music in "supper clubs".
Thanks for taking the time to record and share your muse.

She was a classy dame, and she swept into the bar like a cool wind. "Give me the usual, Johnny." she said in a sultry voice. The guitar player was riffing on a mellow Jazz tune, and the cigarette smoke hung in the air like a day in L.A. Of all the gin joints in all the world....she's gotta walk into mine.

Mario ...
This is one of my (Alan) very favorite genres ... smooth jazz on Guitar. I'm a huge Wes Montgomery and George Benson fan ... as well as Joe Pass and Herb Ellis ...remember Herb Ellis?
Perfect backing tracks and the lead guitar is splendid! what a fantastic listen!!! That was worth the price of admission and more! Thanks for a great listen!
If you don't mind, what axe and amp were you using? Great stuff!

Thanx all for listening and the extremely nice comments on this quick and dirty ditty.
Robert-thanx for taking the time to listen and comment,
Jim - Thanx, I miss those supper/jazz lounge clubs. There are not left in this area.
90 dB - Are you reading those 40's pulp fiction detective stories again? The setting you described does match the song, thanx!
John-thank you very much!
Alan and Di - I remember all of those great guitarists. Don't forget Johnny Smith! Thanx for the very kind comments; I love this genre also and I could play it all night! I am using an inexpensive Jay Turser Jazz box model JT-136: unfortunately they do not make this model anymore. Ebay has one for sale now for $350. I ran it straight into Amplitude 3 preset Fender Twin clean.
Greg - thanx for the very nice comments.

Hey, that was a good listen, and a fine rebuttal of all those overpriced Guitars out there. You proved it's not the name on the headstock that matters.
