I love this tune. I used to accompany a friend on clarinet on it before he passed away. The Duke Robillard version that the OP links to is really nice.
Here’s my attempt on solo guitar. I’ve been doing a lot more gardening than practicing lately, so it’s rough. I’ll try to work on finger mechanics and clean it up.
It's been awhile since i last logged in here, but there's a strange synchronicity in that i was just playing

I use a Bud 6 a lot, but it's not my only amp. I don't think it sounds great with anything, but it sounds good with everything! I have, however, considered using it as my only amp paired with a...
Sounds good Archie! I love Rich's tone too. It's one of my favorite recreations of the '60s jazz guitar sound. I wonder where he keeps the guitar tone control? He uses surprisingly light strings...
