Jazz in GW ?! Well that doesn't happen everyday!!!! I hope it happens again :D

[@Sds518]

ill never understand this music but i can appreciate its craftsman ship

[@torindavies1176]

Learn it

[@dorcasbass5585]

Great playing but just too much all at once, more like a demo than a tune, I can see why The Beatles crushed Jazz in the 1960's.

1000 notes for one person

[@sc9604]

Anus Repair Man You don’t play jazz because you want to be famous, you play it because you love it

[@rmp5s]

Dude...that intro bit...I'll start the slow clap...
*applause*
...that was friggin amazing.

[@PUIALALI]

Damn, he's lit. Good for him if he can do it like that.

[@blakeunderwood1075]

Made me feel so mediocre.

[@doyourbest999]

[@guitarworld]

Cool, thanks. Perry did 3 lessons for us, so those will be rolling out over the course of the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

[@dalegmusic3752]

What's with the rock intro?

[@es165]

This is not what I would call a LESSON ! Just a demo of how fast you can play !

[@robertschultz7612]

Utube guitar hero’s playing the pentatonic scale over and over with massive distortion & effects …

[@salzulli6290]

Leave it to a jazz player to make a Hard Rock/Blues player feel like he can't play for shit!

[@vecernicek2]

Great version of It could happen to you

[@violinoscar]

Perry, where can I buy your CD? I love your playing.

[@emlyngriffith5846]

So far beyond my understanding and ability to play.....I give up!

[@guitarforfree]

At first I thought. I cannot hear the melody line. I thought this sound like a static chord where are the changes? Right when I thought I can't hear the chords. You blasted over them outlining them Great. Great JOB.

[@wtjzgt469]

The intro seems to be So What or Impression. It only has two chords (modal jazz).

[@localpm]

Awesome lesson Perry.Just one thing what is the 'one of your favourite standards' you played?

[@perrysmithmusic]

Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply. There are hundreds of standards I enjoy playing. If I had to pick one, I might say "Nobody Else But Me" because it has such great changes. Thanks for tuning in!

[@JayBruceWorld]

The toneeeeeeeeeeee
Great video!

[@capitannemo62]

No doubt Mr.Simth is a great player....but this was a show of him.....not a lesson...

[@伍朋深-v1r]

[@Domingojazz]

Great tone from a wonderful ES175...!

[@hannb1305]

It's beautiful~

[@lawlaw1]

Brilliant stuff

[@stevenaustin4591]

is there always a swing in jazz?

[@elliottbastian27]

Steven Austin usually yes but some tunes might specify straight eighth notes

[@Strummify]

I feel stupid just listening to jazz lol...

[@cornbeef2128]

why lol

[@bryanttatro9543]

really softballs the bass player in

[@philmagallanes3850]

❤️

[@irishmuso7129]

wow!

[@firesword7461]

he got the good gear

[@torindavies1176]

One thing I find with some jazz guitarists is that they swing every beat, sometimes a solo swings more if you play a little straighter
