VIDEO - Me playing a beautiful Polish waltz "Jej Portret"

Jon · July 2016

Hi all,

At Gerwen and Samoreau this year, I met two lovely Polish guitarists, both called Grzegorz (the Gregs). We played together, ate together, and drank together for about a week. They're really great guys. When they left to drive home, they gave me some sheet music for a few Polish waltzes. This is my recording of one of them, "Jej Portret" (Her Picture). Hope you like it - it's a really pretty tune.

Sounds terrific Jon.
I'd also like to see a chart.

Seems to be a well known song. When looking online I found various versions – but very different stylistically:

It could be one misses something in not understanding the lyrics - an online translation doesn’t help:

I will lift your
smell
the drawing of the lips
the colour of words
unfinished.

Maybe works best as an instrumental.
