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!

Rob

Thanks a lot man! I'm a big fan of the hybrid picking style, just wish my legato was stronger!

Nice guitar, I really like the beautiful colors on that Eastman. Nice tone from that guitar. Very nice playing!

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

It's an Eastman T146SM - I wish they'd give them more memorable names! I find full sized Archtops a little uncomfortable to play, so I got this model from the thinline series of guitars.

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.

Woah!!! Hey man, not heard from you in years! Should of guessed you'd be on here! We should jam sometime! Looks like we'll be doing one last EDT gig in a couple of months with Reese, then finally put that dog to sleep!
