Fingerstyle Blues Guitar - Idle Moments

[professorhamamoto]

Genius. You "rag" the tune after playing through the head. And it all makes perfect sense.

It looks like a guitar. They look like hands.. but somehow the sound that comes out is beyond that.. Actually amazing. The little scraped finger getting the backbeat is extraordinary.

Splendid arrangement. It works so well. I remember a lesson of yours from years ago that had a load of Grant Green lines. Love this channel. ✌🏼

The kind of playing I aspire to. Thank you, David

David, Green’s version of Idle Moments is one of my favorites. Your solo acoustic arrangement is wonderful and really captures the essence of the song. You should really think about an extended course on this arrangement and improv ideas as the next Fretboard Conifdential course for sale. I, for one, would definitely be a buyer!

your playing and explanation always make me want to pick up my guitar. I learn a LOT from you and I appreciate that. love the emails too.

Great ! I love the way you play at these austere tempos (44 I think). Always inspiring.

Love the way the tune just seems to fall of the strings and just oozes about. Played beautifully and I think I could pick this up just watching you! I can hear some familiar sequences/ideas that you showed us in the tune 'Our Man', from the 'New School Fingerstyle Blues' course available on TrueFire. Sharing this stuff Worldwide is just fantastic David. Thank you. Ian from Australia!

So cool, DH!! Love that classic ancient, sweet Martin tone as nothing away from your Texas built Collings acoustic naturally!! This tune is makes me immediately think of our little sweet Himalayan Nikko I told you about with eating finally lost the other day by the go to pick up a cat deceased a huge bill for failing to help I said, should have listened to my Mom and gone to Veterinarian a bad place to reminisce over a recent loss of a beloved pet but you started the water flow with this nice introspective acoustic arrangement!

David, I still think you'd have a major hit if you offered an online course bridging the gap between blues and jazz. Great playing, great tune, great words of wisdom in your accompanying email. Really looking forward to the followup lesson.
