man oh man that was some wonderful playing. It must of taken some time to come up with this one. It's rare to hear a electric guitar played with the tone knob turned way back these days. great tribute! |

Just curious... ...do you play with a combo, too? This sounds great as is. You know I love your solo work. It would also sound fantastic with a small drum kit and stand up bass... ...done Charlie proud, Mark...really love this...nice last chord... |

That's some kinda pickin you have going on there Mark. You don't really hear this kind of cool Big Band Jazz guitar playing much anymore. I feel we're all the lesser for not hearing more of it. But like everything else, it'll make a comeback one of these days. Can I ask what kind of rig you're playing. To me it almost sounds like an old Gibson like maybe a L5 or something. I suppose it could also be a Gretsch like maybe a Country Gentleman. Well no matter, whatever it is it really sounds great as does the playing on this tribute. Very smooth Jazz licks and beautiful sounds Mark. Thanks for posting it. Ed |

Terrific Musical Tribute It's scary to imagine what CP might have accomplished if he had lived longer. Great job, Mark. Nice, authentic approach and a terrific tribute to a legendary guitarist. I hope your hand is improving for you. I'm back to about 90 percent now... and thank God for every bit of recovery. But I know how frustrating it can be. ;) --- Joe |

not just the notes but real feel... and a grove a mile wide... WITH JUST A GUITAR!... that's class... and reflects years of work.. but it didn't feel like work did it... very impressive stuff here Mark... |

Those notes roll out with a happy bounce. Great swing to the rhythm, and lovely playing. Thanks for sharing, Keep well, Doug |
I admit it. I fav'd it before I listened to it. Alright. I also downloaded it before I listened to it, at least before I'd listened to it all the way through...
But you know, I voted AFTER I heard it, and as for the download, I'M NOT GIVING IT BACK...
I can't believe, sometimes, that you're pulling this off on an Ibanez Strat. This track sounds hollow-bodied as all get out, and not like a Strat pickup, either...
As for the tune itself, it's obviously lovingly and respectfully constructed, with a pretty melody and harmony, although I detect that lingering chords-with-numbers problem still hangin' in there. Work on that, won't you?
With continuing admiration,
Ed
