THE JAZZ GUITARIST (with forays into related genres)

Welcome. You may find that some links to videos are dead. That's because the music publishers and the posters play "copyright cat and mouse". The publishers find a video and send a "take down" notice under the DMCA. The hosting service takes down the video, but eventually it pops up somewhere else, often overseas, where the DMCA is often ignored. I delete old posts with dead links when I get a chance, but it's not a priority. Sorry about that .... Lee
