You have articulated something I vaguely knew about, concerning a guitarist’s freedom to improvise and interpret, but never really *got* until I watched this video. Thank you.
Very cool. I have heard like 20 different intros, all of them really good, for As Time Goes By. And there was originally an intro verse that's rarely played but is the basis for several intro variations.
I wish you lived down the street. you explain so well that is easy to follow. hopefully you one day Chris from the Side door Jazz Club up in Old Lyme, CT. will book you.
Awesome video! The captions have several mistakes, I'm assuming they're autogenerated? Not a big deal, since it's obvious what he's saying if you know jazz, but if they can be edited, you might want to take a look.
