| | Pannonica Greetings from the UK! This is my first post, but I've lurked for a while - really great forum, some incredibly helpful people here!
Got back in to playing Jazz again a few months ago after several years of not playing properly and this is my first chord melody arrangement. Critique very much welcome!
I'm a huge Monk fan and absolutely love this tune!
Cheers!

| | Thanks for all the kind comments! Was a bit nervous about putting this video up on this forum! Quote:

Running that into a custom built Matamp king street 2x12" combo with some boutique effects pedals - just subtle delay, reverb and EQ. |

| | Nice going. Cool to arrange that for solo guitar, I really enjoyed it, the voices are balanced really well - I find that hard to do playing with pick and fingers. Love the guitar as well. |

| | Great job!! Beautiful. Monk + Rouse are one of my favorite jazz pairs ever; it's great to hear this on guitar. Really well done.  |
