House of the Rising Sun - Charlie Byrd Style Solo Jazz Guitar

[siemniak]

You are a very good musician. I like people like you, who play cause they love it. NOt for money or show,.

[DjangoVanGogh]

Made me cry (for the right reasons!). Lol I'm such an idiot.

This piece is actually written by Alan de Mause, a guitar teacher. It's from his "Solo Jazz Guitar" method book by Mel Bay Publishing. It's a analysis of a variety of Jazz styles from Earl Klugh to Lenny Breau.

The piece your playing is Alan's interpretation of Charlie Byrd's style.

@MusicByCliff

Absolutely right - your comment facts were already in the videodescription though!

[Murpien]

Love it! :D Is this the Alhambra CS-1 with the BlendPro pickup? :P I'm thinking about byuing that one...

[daddystovepipe]

@Murpien

Thanks, this is the C2

[Murpien]

@daddystovepipe

Ok, what do you think of it? It certainly sounds great! ;)

[waitswatcher]

wonderful playing again, daddy!

never heard this arrangement before, very cool.

on another note, allow me to say I don't like the thumb pic sound on any nylon guitar.

would be so much better with a fleshy-nearly-no-nail sound ... :-)

cheers & all the best from

@waitswatcher

thanks for the kind words

you're right about the thumbpick but with my double jointed thumb it's difficult to get a full bass sound, I also think I should then change my way of holding the guitar to "between the legs" and that gives me a lot of backpains... :-(

[waitswatcher]

@daddystovepipe I also have trouble with the classical sitting position.

Even though it is considered to be best for the back, I only do it for difficult tunes, or in classical concert situations. But most of the time, I have the guitar on my right leg. ;-)

I always go for: If it feels good, it can't be that wrong. :-D

[daddystovepipe]

@waitswatcher

Many years ago I started using a footstool for my right leg and that helps; the smaller the guitar the higher I place it.

Daddy that was great reminds of my first teacher Ralph Rose took me to see Larry Correll in 1976 at a small club,just great phraseing. Do you have any Tab for this?
