Trying out a very nice new guitar,
playing just anything that comes to mind
(with bits of acoustic bass guitar backing thrown in for good measure).
The recording was done straight to mixing desk (no amp), with only very light reverb.
Something weird happened! After recording, the video was 4% longer than the audio??????? So, I had to cut a lot of slices of video to try and restore sync. Looks a little funny at times. The whole thing was too long anyway....got carried away. Never mind.
A simple swinging tune that is my tribute to Wes Montgomery, my earliest and probably most important influence. I have always loved his music and I cannot play anything that does not have some of his influence. Here I just let it all out....

Note that because of the video frames occasionally a very short note may be lost visually, in this video.
