Check out Guitar George - he knows all the chords...

The master at work. I had the honor of getting to meet him and talk at length wit him. He was playing at Steamers with Rob Eschete. He passed away two weeks later. I was sad. But when I saw him he was fine looked great. I got to play that Gretsch guitar he plays. I played seven and six in Jazz but I played 10 string classical for a while. I think six works nice for me and seven is cool also. Ten was too many. I love to play this tune and he does wonderful stuff with it.

@mikeandmike if the piano repeated notes, otherwise only 4-5 octaves, or about half the notes of a piano - although harmonics add many more if the guitarist has the ability
