TAKE A LISTEN to Daniel Smith's performance of "'Round Midnight," (Solo #6) from "Mastering the Jazz Guitar Chord Melody Solo."

 Click here to listen

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."
