Great timing, cool arpeggios, nice sound.
Shows that you don’t need all the bebop clichés to play a great solo. You did a wonderful job here, no showing off, just good timing and relaxed playing.
Too bad the tuning of the guitar is somewhat off.
Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums. Check out these great contemporary Jazz Styles: www.jazzstylezz.com

Hello Dzjang, Thank you for your message! I'm happy to read that you enjoyed the tune and don't react like some jazz snobs to whom a standard has to be played with a str8 jazz groove and with certain (cliché) lines. Thanks! You made a right comment about the tuning. I always tune my guitar before playing/recording. But oddly enough, after I posted the video I saw that my D string was still not perfectly tuned  (the other a bit but the D one was the most clear have been detuned). This is an old Fender Mustang 1966 (my usual guitar is a more modern yellow Ibanez), so lesson learnt and next time I will TRIPLE check (lol) that the tuning is right on for all the strings. Cheers!

Anyone who says a song "has to be played" a certain way is, IMHO, missing part of the point of music, other than, perhaps, to assure that the band all have a common view for a rational performance. Music should (must?) be open to interpretation or it will atrophy. Even orchestral works, though there's less room then for interpretation, but consider "A fifth of Beethoven" or "Nut Rocker".

Totally agreeing with you Scott. But you know who the biggest snobs are ? Jazz players. And I learnt it along the way. This is a shame to me because music is music and as much as I believe in styles I also believe in not having our mental stuck with patterns and clichés. This is anti musical.

A very neat improvisation.
Great articulation, and an interesting delivery.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
