Jeff, I'm working on getting you a tour of all the Buc-ees stores. You'll get paid in brisket! Fantastic gig. LOL. You are a great musician and should play more on the videos.

Stunning guitar playing Jeff 👏👏👏👏 And , although l completely get it, it always makes me happy to see someone as talented as yourself, appreciate the playing of someone like Lou Reed, which in many way is quite basic, but also beautiful..thanks again Jeff .

Thanks Mick. My style of guitar playing is completely different than Lou’s so it is almost like two different instruments. So I really appreciate those who can make an electric guitar sound good. 👍😁

Great story and experience! I don't think that kind of jazz is corny. I listen to all kinds of "corny" stuff and I think corny is quite cool. (and I bet a lot of other people secretly love the corny)
@CalicoSilver

I didn't used to think jazz was corny either, or I wouldn't have been drawn to it. I still enjoy watching others play jazz (especially big band jazz and third stream jazz), but after years of playing many many gigs back in the day with other jazz players and singers, I got very sick of it......and yeah, a lot of jazz (and jazz "cats", haha) are quite cheesy to me now.

Jeff, Enjoyed your video very much. You guitar playing is awesome. Its very interesting you talking about Charlie Byrd. I love his music and I've been buying a lot of it. The first guitar I learned on was a nylon classic guitar. Take Care.

@@progrocktommyscorner Thanks, Edward. My first "guitar" was a 4-string baritone ukulele, haha! But my dad had two guitars in the house, a Hofner classical (which I still own) and a Yamaha steel-string acoustic. I was so young that I could barely read around the Yamaha to play it, but I could just reach around the smaller Hofner, so I started with that one and stuck with it for many years.

The ol’ “chord-melody” style is what it is called these days. Back then it was just called guitar playing. Haha!

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *NICE!* Combining your GREAT story-telling skills with _'pluckin'-yer-guitar'!_ (more please) _"Corny"?_ It's a matter of perspective. I prefer 'Trad-Jazz' over 'Fusion-Jazz'. 'tsall good! Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

@CalicoSilver Год назад
Thanks, Dermot. I don't play that kind of stuff much anymore but for a while I played it 2-3 nights a week at gigs, haha! That's why I laugh about it now and call it "cheesy".....which it is.....but I still love the Brazilian stuff......even though that is "cheesy" too.....

Lovely albeit brief hang with you here Jeff. Some nice playing, and wonderful of hearing of how you went full circle in a sense with Mr. Bird. Wonderful! You have me naturally wanting to spin some of this stuff now. 🙂 Looking forward to your Jerry Davis tribute whenever it comes. Thanks as ever. -Carm & Meena kitty who listened

I've been meaning to do that tribute to my old guitar teacher and I will eventually. He was only my teacher for a few years or so but he instilled a lot into me that stayed with me all my life.....mostly he forced me to play by ear which is the greatest gift ever.

Very cool and quite touching stories, Jeff. Nice that you picked up on jazz from your dad at such an early age and got to see and contact Charlie Byrd. I'm afraid most of my early concert and performing experiences were more of a chore. Both my parents were music teachers and pianists so of course I had to take piano lessons and go to their concerts. Learning to play the piano (and later guitar) was just too much of a struggle with my somewhat limited dexterity (and I had to take piano AGAIN in college). The whole experience wasn't very enjoyable or inspiring.

My Dad never much cared for jazz, Steve. He is more of a Willie+Waylon fan, but he does love a lot of other music. I was fortunate to grow up in a house where music was valued. Sorry your situation didn't allow for you to develop musical skills, but you have certainly developed an amazing skill of appreciating and writing about music. As for me, I could never get the hang of visual arts (drawing, painting, etc.).....I can't even draw a circle, much less anything else.

I liked your reference to "Charlie Brown's Christmas", Jeff. I thought you'd like to know that this music is still alive - my son, who is a pianist and studying music at Uni, has learnt the Vince Guaraldi score and entertains us all with it at Christmas!
@CalicoSilver
@CalicoSilver Год назад
Hi Phil. We have something else in common, it seems - my daughter also plays piano and I bought her the sheet music to Charlie Brown Christmas just last year so she could play it for us this year during the holiday. (I play "Christmas Time Is Here" on piano myself.....I love that song!)

Indeed, and ol' Charlie looked just as cool as he did in the thumb image (from one of his bossa album covers). Little did I know I'd not only be influenced by his playing but eventually by his hair style too! D'oh!!

Haha, it is one of the old jazz standards I used to play all the time back in the day.....I can't even recall the name of it at the moment, it's been so long since I played it......haha! I just wanted to toss off a CharlieByrd-type of tune to start the video to show how his playing did influence me long ago.

Priceless - wow!!! You are so dynamic!!! And what guitar is that that you are playing and have you had it since college? Thanks for sharing your guitar skills and a snippet of your musical journey. It's so cool to hear about your relationship with your dad and everything and how it led to your relationship with Charlie Byrd. Amazing!!!

Hi Rick. Thanks! The guitar in this video is a 1981 Thomas Humphrey that I bought around 20 years ago. I also have a 1981 Alvarez-Yairi and a 1960’s Hofner. All three are classical guitars.

@@CalicoSilver Love to hear your personal music stories. I looked up yer guitars for fun - nice Jeff!!! Sweet guitars for a great musician!!! Hope you do more videos like this, if it's what you want. No pressure. I am not a proficient guitarist. I have a number of steel string acoustics but only play well enough to sing easy songs, Neil Young like. My only electric is the Robbie Krieger SG Gibson Model (haha). I have a classical guitar but it's an el cheapo Valencia (I don't know the model). I was going to take lessons a number of years ago. But to play, you have to be so precise about hand position, how you sit with it, etc. It was like the first thing I was told to do was to sit with it a certain way and place my arms and hands like such and such and practice that before playing a note. And I got scared away. Anyway, Arthur I. TIs doesn't seem to be effecting your fingers or maybe it is. Can't tell. Stay well (didn't mean to rhyme). See you next time!!!

@@RickM01 I've played steel string acoustic and electric guitars in bands, and you are 100% correct in your assessment of classical guitar being practically a different instrument altogether w/r/to technique and approach. Yes I do suffer from arthritis and tendonitis in the hands but I've learned to be very careful to not overdo anything (no more practicing for 4 hours a day, haha!), and I've changed parts of my technique to make it easier for me to play (avoiding too many barre chords, for example). But there are things I will never be able to play like I once did, and some favorite pieces I will never be able to play well again. Oh well. Comes with age. I'm just happy to be able to play at all today, after not being able to play at all for several years.
