Ian, as a guitar player, I absolutely enjoyed your selection of inversions, and the chord rendering of what would normally be guitar sounds was fabulous.
the lead line was perfect, except for the limitations of the sample or sax programming (too much temolo-not very realistic). That, of course is not the players fault. Really nice work!
As far as style use, just don't let it be a crutch. There are options, as is shown in the video Donny posted. Excellent work.
There are also options...some high paying, to playing nursing homes.
We should all strive to improve...can't go wrong with that approach.
Thanks, again Ian. As my old music friends say....TASTY!

Thank you for the kind words, Russ...especially cool coming from an accomplished guitarist like yourself.
I love jazz guitar and listened to a lot of Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass, but also enjoyed the more recent John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Al Di Meola.
As far as using styles exclusively...nope...I just consider them one of the tools of the trade, although I try to make the most of them when they suit the occasion.
Gratefully,
Ian
