      Wow! I must thank Rick Beato for introducing me to Nathaniel's music. Such a wonderful player!
      I long to here Nathaniel's take on my favorite Elliott Smith song from his posthumously released album From A Basement On A Hill titled Strung Out Again.

      I don’t mean to be rude. but you guys in the comments need to just pick up some jazz guitar records. he’s not doing anything any of the legends haven’t done on record. the youtube guitar scene is not the end all be all of guitar players. in fact, most of the best players aren’t online. just the younger generation

      That's always silly though. People who like actual songs and music don't consider jazz much, and rightfully so. Jazz is generally ugly "music", kind of the equivalent of paint being splattered all over the page and it still being called brilliant art.

      Haha, I fully agree!
      Jazz or Fusion can be great but sadly that's so extremely rare, mostly it's somewhat 'unmusical', in lack of a better description.
      Often it's just like vomiting the notes down a flight of stairs... or what you said ; )
