I Wes Jazz Listening To That Christian Castle

In that this video features playing which is a rough approximation of the inimitable signature guitar stylings characteristic of Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery and, to a far lesser extent, that of the likes of Barney Kessel among others, I have thus titled this piece in such a way so that all their names are both punnily and nomenclaturally/titularly used. However, being that they all only ever worked in the medium of the ELECTRIC guitar, and used all six strings thereof, and the guitar I am herein using is an acoustic one, and a five-stringed one at that, given that it is missing a string (and another one has in fact broken since then, thus reducing it to and rendering it a four-stringed one, but I digress); at any rate, what I am laboring to say is that this is, for a wide variety of reasons, only an EXTREMELY rough approximation and a very dubious emulation of those men's styles and sounds, but it is very fun and good for all of that. And I hope that every one of you who visit my page and view this video, I hope you all thoroughly enjoy it. In fact, I hope you enjoy watching and listening to it as much as I did composing, making, filming and playing it. :)
