Heh. I think proficient isn’t the word for it. I am definitely getting a lot better at the chords and rhythms. I had never played many jazz chords, so I had to train my left hand to finger 6+9 chords, augmented and diminished chords, and other shapes I wasn’t used to.

Wow, those guitars look very cool. I also bet the gypsy jazz class is fun: are you proficient in any Django Reinhardt songs yet?

I was just thinking the same thing. I’m taking a gypsy jazz class at the Old Town School, and now I kind of want one of these:

[...] Originally labeled as being a joint release with Coleman Hawkins, he plays on nearly half the songs. An album that encourages dimming the lights, and lighting up. Too bad I gave up my smoking habits. Thumbs up. [...]
