Fun to do but ultimately pointless, I suppose :-)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't like being an instructor!)

Here's one I did earlier (in 2012!). This was used for a virtual duet with Dick (Dutchbopper), effectively this is my 'half' of the duet.
-
I'll go for that :-)

The bridge is quite awkward on this tune I think. Trying to create long, flowing lines over those 2-per-bar dominants is not easy.
I like this version by Tal Farlow, of course he does it brilliantly.

There is my take on nylon strings guitar.
I've been playing classical guitar a lot lately and I like nylon strings guitars.

I think you can compare yourself to Tal on this one. Mind you, I have to be honest, I didn't listen to the whole 15 minutes worth, just a couple of solo choruses to get the drift.
I suppose I ought to now... I'll get some cereal

Done it. I'm okay. Good bass solo!
Well, I see the point. I think in a version like that it doesn't matter if it's a bit fudgy, it's the vibe that matters. He did do something nice at about 13.05 going down the chords.
But, yes, very swinging :-)

DB is absolutely right about Tal Farlow.
Any comparison of a giant to any of us is ridiculous.
If in doubt, make a transcription of his solos.
