Hi Everyone, I thought you might enjoy this video of my brother Dean Lemos playing solo jazz guitar on the jazz standard "Stella by Starlight". Guitar is an archtop Fender D'Aquisto played through a Carvin AG100D amplifier.

Ron

Hi Ron,

Seems like you have a very deep musical tradition in your family. Are you both working as guitarists? BTW I've never used pick for unaccompanied playing thinking it's to tricky, especially when it comes to walking bass comping. Now I believe it's possible.

Enjoyed the clip,

Hi __aux,

I am glad you enjoyed this clip and I appreciate your supportive comments. We both have "day jobs" and play jazz because we love the music. Believe it or not, even in a large metropolitan area like Los Angeles, there are few jazz venues (this issue can be an entire new thread!). Pick style solo jazz guitar does offer a great complement to other solo styles. I hope others also find it an interesting approach. Best wishes, Ron.

That was Fantastic!

Very nice.
