This is a very old video... I improvise stuff like this now, but I was playing from memory at the time. I got a hold of this great book called Barry Galbraith Guitar Solos. It has 13 standards arranged for solo guitar, in both tab and staff notes. The tunes include this one, Darn That Dream, In a Sentimental Mood, 'Round Midnight, For all we Know, and a lot more. I would suggest picking it up when you get the chance.
Hey man, don't down play yourself man, that;s a really clean take you did of Barry's arrangement. Guess your description is just a safe guard against all the armchair 'guitarists' that spend more time criticizing then actually playing themselves... You got the toughest part with these arrangements, keeping the shifts legato and controlled. May I mention that Galbraiths Jazz Guitar Study Serious book on Guitar Comping is great and taught me how to comp. Keep swinging!
Really can't hear the mess ups. I use to play with my fingers but for some reasons I ended up using a pick. I can use my fingers though if an arrangement calls for it. Really great playing hope to hear more soon.
You sound fantastic.
Don't cut yourself down, the average player can't tell your mistakes because he's listening to the good stuff.

I would pay to learn that. How can I get ahold of that arrangement or are you just improvising?

Thanks a lot, bro. I feel I have more options in fingerstyle. I don't even use a pick when I blow.
