Great guitar work on this short jazz piece. The solo, live track lend itself to an intimate and casual vibe. Musicianship is great and the changes/riffs are fresh and executed well. Nicely done.

This is a serious piece of music. An extemporaneous feel, jazz guitar extraordinaire, classical in its reach. I can only thank you.

I love the sound of the classical guitar runs, very cool indeed. It's always good to just sometimes hear a solo guitar. The fingerpicking is so smooth and the song emits a very peaceful vibe. Great Jazz, reminds me a little of Chet Atkins.

Nice chord progression, reminds one of Pat Metheny.

Awesome jazz guitar chord/melody composition. The guitar player is awesome and I can really feel the instrument sing through the entire piece.

nice licks really enjoyed some of those chord changes.

Terrible hiss on the recording, but I liked the piece - especially the changes/mod at 1:22-33. Good stuff.

I like the instrument you used. It's beautiful how you play the guitar.

Very nice playing...Enjoyed it. Very relaxing

Shades of Larry Coryell, one of my favorite guitarists. Well played and musically engaging modern solo jazz guitar.

Actually, I asked to review a country song. However, I'm glad I got your song. Awesome jazz guitar!!! Finger style?

Very pretty. Not many people can pull off a one instrument instrumental song but you did. I didn't rate marketability because I haven't listened to jazz on the radio in many years. Cool tune. Thanks for the listen.

I love your guitar playing! amazing work!

enjoyable.......wel done

more like contemporary jazz, due to the instrumentation. I liked it alot though.
