All the Things You Are solo guitar arrangement

[sarego2008]

allen This was the most beautiful sound I ever heard of an archtop, especially when you play finger style. A sound dry and fully open. sensacional.Quanto you paid for this wonderful archtop?

[carvetop01]

Thank you.

There are so many great arrangements of this song on YTube. Thanks for listening and for you kind words.

Cheers,

allen

[MiCompre]

Very Excellent,,,,,Can Feel The the Rythme Nicely,,,,First Thought Was One of My All Time Favorite Solo Guitarist's Mr Joe Pass,,5 Stars.,,,Peace,,,,,

Dean.

[carvetop01]

Thanks Dean. It's a fun tune. Joe Pass was a heck of a loss to all guitar players. He plays a killer arrangement of this tune.

Thank you!!

[Jazzguts]

Strange Allen,I'm sure I commented to this tune earlier,strange how some comments are simply disappearing,I'm hearing others complaining about this too, anyway very good playing, I hear some Wes type octave and phrasing in there,that sounds great to my ear,very good,Vic.

[carvetop01]

Thank you Vic,

No one should be forced to listen to my improvs more than once:o)

allen

[LONGWINDING]

Allen, I also listen the second, maybe the third time. And it´s surely no waste of time. i even remember some lines you play here (1:35, for example).

frank

[carvetop01]

Frank,

You are very kind.

[gtrfinger]

Good arrangement mate, best wishes from Yorkshire.

[carvetop01]

Thank you my British friend!

[SoloGuitarist1]

Allen,

Nice arrangement, well done!

Carl

[carvetop01]

Thank you Carl!

[bebopguitar]

Very nice swinging rendition of a tune that I like very much because of the wonderful versions recorded by charlie parker. Good to hear something new from you after quite a long time.

[carvetop01]

It's great to hear from you. How have you been?

allen

[bebopguitar]

I was quite busy recently ... discovering that music is more fun when you do it just for fun ;-)

I hope to record some more stuff soon ... may be I should try "All the things ... " too, and do some soloing without spoiling the arrangement, what you managed very wel here l ... but that seems rather challenging to me most of the time.

[userfixit]

Just the right combination of tone and texture Allen.

Very well done. Some real nice moves going on!

Bravo !

-Basement Bob

[carvetop01]

Hi Bob!

Thank you for listening. This is a fun tune to play.

allen

[carvetop01]

I'm looking forward to you Pedal Steel uploads.

[carvetop01]

Thank you Lilly,

I am listening to your channel now. You paint some very nice colors with your harmonic approach. I just subscribed so keep posting please!

Cheers,

allen

[LillyC68]

Dear Allen,

thanks a lot for the sub! Yes, I'll keep posting, but I'm very, very slow... :)

See you and take care,

Lilly

[freddym223]

yo Allen!real nice! been playing along with your single note work,just backin you up*****

[carvetop01]

Thanks Freddy,

I threw in some changes to the original harmony on the single line stuff. I don't know why it just came out that way.

Recognizing the subjectivity of this remark, In my opinion the best improv on this tune came from your post.

Cheers,

allen

[illdoitagain]

not sure what is more beautiful, your playing on this tune or the guitar your playing it with! well done as always

[carvetop01]

Thank you Erik,

You are quite a player. I enjoy your finger style approach. I'm working on improving my right hand technique. I just finished listening to your upload of "Nature Boy". Is that an Eastman? It sounds super.

Cheers,

allen

[Iggypres]

Exellent piece Allen ! Very beautifully and tastfully

performed . I have enjoyed every chord , every single note . What a wonderful harmony you lay down here ! Musical greetings , Iggy

[carvetop01]

Iggy,

Thank you Maestro. Your comments are always very encouraging.

Cheers my friend,

allen

[jmbgouveia]

I did understood every word you writed in Portuguese. Well done my friend I LOVE to hear you. You can only be an excelent personne. Sorry about my English. Greets You're Fan Joao

[carvetop01]

Joao,

With the Olympics 2016 going to Brazil it might serve all of us well to learn some Portuguese.

Thank you for your kind words,

allen

[stephanegiovannelli]

Hi, Brother,

Oh Yeah!!!!! Very good Surprise...

I' m very glad to hear an improvisation yours in single note...

I really like it, now you must to post another tune with a larger improve in sinle note...You Can Brother...

iI want more...

Congratulation too for you harmonisation with beautiful movement as always...

Your "Hermanito" Stephane.

[carvetop01]

Hermanito,

I will post another tune with a longer improv. In return I expect a chord melody from you. With your sense of harmony that stands out in your solo work I think you will produce a unique and musical arrangement.

Thank you for your encouraging words,

Saludos a ti y Dani tambien.

allen

[jazz1bro]

Always nice to hear guitar playing music that's not based on who can play the fastest or who knows the most licks.

[carvetop01]

Jazz1bro,

Thanks man. Playing fast is easy to learn. A very wise man once told me that his favorite notes were the ones he did not play.

Thank you for your kind words.

allen

[NickPycks6]

Allen---Nice playing smooth relaxed I hear the great JS---but he always played flatwounds

[carvetop01]

Another big difference between me and JS is Johnny knew what he was doing.

Thanks for listening

allen

[BocaFriend]

Allen, my friend, I've been trying to get here for days, but something kept derailing my progress.

A stunning rendition -- elegant, lyrical, and perhaps a stylish sway more than an outright swing! :-) I hope it says a lot to you that I featured it in my v-log spotlight centered on exciting videos. I can picture you playing harp and upright bass. With the guitar, you accomplish both in a way. Cheers, ~Terry

[carvetop01]

Thank you Terry! I am truly flattered.

It's a great song and I had fun recording this classic.

I hope you are well. You have been below the radar for awhile.

Your pal al.

[Stevepat1]

Sounds great Allen! Nice to hear a solo from you. Great job!

[carvetop01]

Thank you Steve. It's a fun tune.

allen

[agrlfmtx]

What a SMOOTH sound!! Very relaxing after the day I have had today!! THANK U! t:)

[carvetop01]

Thank you Theresa,

It almost put me to sleep as well :O)

allen

[sounds08]

wow! Great .... sounds really great! Endless stars for you!

[carvetop01]

Thank you very very much. Thank you for listening.

Cheers,

allen

[archtopbrownie]

You make it look so easy my friend. Very nice. Must admit I missed that bass track. I use Band in a Box and it actually does a good job on bass lines. Look forward to your figuring that out. Oh yeah... to soloing was tasty and gave me another kind of glimpse into just how good a jazz guitarist you are.

[carvetop01]

Thank you Lance.

This is such a great tune. I figured out what I did wrong on BIB. Too late for this tune. Maybe next time. If you listen very very carefully the bass is there the volume is what is FUBAR.

Later dude,

allen

[hachamacha]

Sounds great, allen.

I love it. Just a perfect arrangement and rendition.

re me and my surgery: I just have started practicing guitar again yesterday after surgery, and it feels really good so will be uploading ~1 to 2 weeks from now maybe.

Thanks -

Hashi

[carvetop01]

Take care of that hand Hashi. Don't rush it.

[EJohnNorth]

Your music transports me to a magical place of joy that explodes into a warm sense of satisfaction!

[carvetop01]

Thanks John. You words are encouraging.

[johnnyguitarcarson]

I like the drrop voicingss scattered throughout the head, very clean.

Love the block stuff at around 1:45, and that beautiful sounding guitar is the icing on the cake my friend.

Johnny

[carvetop01]

Hi Johnny,

Thank you for your kind and encouraging comment. It means allot coming from you.

allen

[Heronymusic]

Great one Allen !! Cheers Jeroen

[carvetop01]

Thank you Jeroen!

Cheers,

allen

[VenusAndMars1]

Hi Allen, this guitar sounds so lovely, so good! there are some very, very fine lines and chords in there. and then: it really swings, 1:36, sweet! 1:55, I love that!

See you, my friend!

Frank

[carvetop01]

Frank,

Thanks for the encouraging words. (Vielen Dank fur Ihre freundlichen Worter.) ?

This was my first test with Band-in-a-Box. The bass part did not come through very well. Maybe next time.

Cheers,

allen

[Jazzguts]

So beautiful Allen, great harmonization,good counter melodies, great voicing and very fine solo lines with beautiful alterations on the G7(alt) chord. And like Jogi mentioned a very warm and great Jazz tone with great definition.What great tunes were composed in this Era. Thanks for sharing my friend,Saludos Vic.

[JogiBass]

Hi Allen! Great arrangement and sweet, sweet playing. Good tone, also. Cheers, Jogi

[carvetop01]

Hi Jogi,

Thank you. It would have been much better had I you to play bass on this cut.

Cheers my friend,

allen

[JogiBass]

Yep, full of blurred notes, wrong scales, strange ideas and bad intonation. No, no, no, you did great that way!

[carvetop01]

Jogi,

I'll take your "blurred" notes over anyone else's I have heard on the Tube.

Besides, there are no bad notes in Jazz. Only "outside tones". :O)

Cheers,

allen

[JogiBass]

Just outside tones - very good, I got a lot of them ;-)

Thanks for your kind compliment. What a wonderful thoght to play together!!!

Greetings, Jogi
