Take Five [Paul Desmond/Dave Brubeck Quartet, 1959] - Jazz Guitar

For some reason, YouTube blessed this video of mine - please check my recent videos as they're much better in terms of playing and sound! :)

My rendition of Paul Desmond's Take Five on guitar. Played on top of a backing track found on Youtube. Guitar is a Hagstrom Viking plugged into a soundcard straight to Pro Tools.

As good as it sounds on sax originally played! But more chill, tender, bluesy. Great performance.

Awesome, having heard Dave and Paul do this live. It brings tears to my eyes.

That up sweep at 1:30, is so sweet and slick!! Bravo!!

[neelparekh]

Your phrasing is really something else. Absolutely brilliant!

[chelanstan]

As professional as any I've heard, and that includes Coryell, Kottke, Ponti, and the great Dave Brubeck (3 times). Bravo!

Man! Was just asking if anyone had ever transcribed the Paul Desmond sax part of this jazz classic to be played on guitar.. and BOOM! here it is! sweet!

[bufftannen]

Lots of guitar versions of Take Five on YouTube from accomplished, world famous guitarists. Not one holds a candle to this.

I could sense the thought you've put in behind every note you picked....you followed that baseline so effing well..not just randomly picking any notes...wow.. performance par excellence...

Very beautifully played. Thank you for the music 😊

I normally prefer fingerstyle renditions that're more polyphonic, but your rendition has really helped change my mind. Your playing is really quite incredible.
