I think this is a very good solo arrangement, with guitar parts that segway through representations of key components of a big band, such as the horn punches, piano-esque comping, slippery but solid bass, and some great call and response. Not it's not classically astounding, but Segovia, as much as i love his playing, has yet to blow my lid off with an Ellington tune. This guy is representing an entire big band with his guitar. Try listening bigger.

I absolutely adore this arrangement, but please, tell me - the lick in the main theme - do you play it with hammer-ons/pull-offs or with finger picking?
Oh, and is there any chance you would do a lesson showing the finger picking technique? I mean when you play non-chord solo, just the fast notes, running over the scales? I simply can't figure out how to play it sounding at least half as good as you. Thanks

If it's the lick I'm thinking of, I play it with a slide and 2 pull-offs. I haven't done any videos for a long time, so I probably won't be doing a lesson thing anytime soon. But thanks for asking!

Amazing..What gear are you using?

The guitar is a Samick Artist Series Edition and the amp is a Mesa Boogie Subway Rocket. I don't think they make either of them anymore. Probably for good reason :-)
