Hey Juan, I played a solo jazz guitar gig where they loved my playing,
but their biggest requests were for some Roy Rogers songs. It was at a
private residence and they produced the sheet music, so I needed to come
up with chord melodies on the spot. I don't recall too much about the
night after that, except that they tipped me a couple hundred dollars!
David, if one of those Greenes is Ted, you know just how good a Tele can
sound playing jazz. He's brilliant.

Hey David,
Welcome, I think you may enjoy hanging out here, and participating,
too. I look forward to hearing some of your stuff. I've been
playing guitar "professionally" for about 35 years, and nobody's
ever asked for "Home On the Range", but, I could probably get
through it, and in a chord melody, to boot... :{)
Cheers,
JV

Hi all I'm new to the forum and JAZZ guitar and should introduce
myself at this time.
... well basically I'm in my 47th year and I stink at jazz guitar
and don't even have a proper Jazz guitar yet..I use an old beat-up
wore Tele style but I'm slowly getting some sweet jazz parts down.
I've been studying enough to do a couple nice chord melodies and
tough chord progressions.
My favourite guitar players are all who play one...and two guys
named Greene
I'm looking for a good practise schedule now.
Here are my list of standards I've chose....
Standards List
-Satin Doll
-Green Sleeves
-Home on the range
Thanks David
