    Now I understand why Jimmy Raney's phrasing and time feel were so beautiful. He made a great contribution to jazz guitar artistry.

      you can feel the time but not succeed to play on it .....and when Jimmy RANEY
      played ( and recorded ) the song " I COULD WRITE A BOOK " with TOMMY
      FLANAGAN ( piano ) and GEORGE MRAZ ( double bass ) those two introduced
      such tremendous groove and quasi BACH variations from FLANAGAN that
      despite his mastery JIMMY RANEY wasn't at ease to "write " his chapter and
      even to read the book .

    this footage has impacted more than anything I have ever seen in regards too what I am truly searching for, everything from this completely down to earth discussion was enlightening, I felt as if jimmy and I were in the same room, and by the laid back honesty of his demonstration. I have experienced an epiphany and am at a completely new level of understanding. I never even do comments. and bet I sound over the top. but this changes everything somehow. spoke to me. thank you for posting this.

    Studied with him back in my teens. Was so lucky to know him. He was and still is my greatest influence. He left a wonderful legacy behind and this is a fact of an international treasure for any aspiring player to explore, if only he or she is willing to take the time to **really listen** and learn. There was only one Jimmy Raney.

    The man with the sweetest Jazzguitar tone ever - even though he always used a pick - he still managed to get the best tone of all. Respect also for how he approached music, the subconcious part and even when he got in deep where music 'comes from', totally agree with his vision.

    I have to keep returning to these Jimmy youtubes. NOW I know just enough to be able to really learn from him..almost forty years after I had some lessons with him when I was way too green to tackle the more advanced aspects. Thankfully these youtubes have delivered him back into my living room again...what I did gain from being around him was learning there was a style and level of playing that a person should aspire to

    That's exactly how Bill Evans also described improvisation.

      This particular portion of the Universal Mind clip the comparison is not apt. Bill is referring to building on something that you don't know truly - which creates confusion. Dad in above is simply talking about creating a picking technique that is driven by the sounds and letting the physicality decide not "decision making". Very apples and oranges. It is likely Savier is talking about a different passage, statement, interview or article by Bill
