TAKE A LISTEN to Daniel Smith's performance of "'Round Midnight," (Solo #6) from "Mastering the Jazz Guitar Chord Melody Solo."
Dan has taken what's on the paper and made it his own. Here's what he says:
"'Round Midnight' was somewhat of a breakthrough for me and I'm glad I have this recording to prove it. I started working on "Strollin'" (Solo #4) today - that's going to be a fun tune...Many thanks for the encouraging words and, above all, the great teaching materials.
I'm still working on the 84 Equations and having fun. I liked the DVD, it makes the exercises clearer and more logical. My practice is going well and I feel as if I am gaining a lot of ground with these arrangements."
