Cool Jeff. We`re working on our next album these days actually, hopefully it will be released early next year. So when are you releasing your album?

I think that recording shows a lot of depth. There were moments were you played some really cool intervalic stuff, and some moments that were more bluesy. Some of the passing chord ideas reminded me a bit of Johnny Smith. Nice tone. I agree with Ken, that it sounded like you were just playing at home without thinking about the recording. That a really personal quality that I really dig and you tend to hear with guys like Ted Greene, Lenny Breau, Jim Hall to an extent...

Sorry for rambling, but yeah I dig it. :cool:

Wonderful playing and tone, JazzTele.

I particular enjoyed the solo runs and the slow vibrato (neck bends?).
To be completely honest - and I must say I wish I could play like that one day! - the only thing that I felt was not up to par with the sound of a few open strings in the chord work.

This is not criticism in any way - but since you asked for feedback, there you go :)

Thank you all...

Michael, if I can convince myself to keep recording like this and not care about the outcome, could have a solo disc done by this Christmas...

joaopaz, just a standard slow vibrato...I've also been experimenting with a "classical" style back and forth vibrato instead of "up and down."

Nice tone and playing! Great to hear some stuff like that without the "wet blanket over the speaker" tone.
