I wish he would play more solo stuff, it's so quirky and interesting

Yes! And he's the only solo guitar I can listen to. He makes it alive somehow. Usually solo guitar is impossibly boring genre, but not this. Sco is the master!
-
it sounds like he's always improvising throughout as if there's no arrangement except for the skeleton of the tune. I love the way he plays with the time, its very funky.

This tune is from his edu video-book Jazz-Funk Guitar vol.1/1993/....
Great player!
Sadowsky nylon strings guitar-Scof play it only at this video...I think.

This intro as solo sounds great to me to...

Of course there are great players... I heard plenty of solo playing from the greatest .. some I like more some less.. but there's always that feeling 'ok now I'll show that guiatr is kind of piano or orchestra or whatever' maybe they don't think about it but it's felt
and Sco sounds like he does not care..

I mean it depends more on how you take things how you approach than if it's really an arrangement or not...
in time it becomes no difference.. it is only what you want to play.. even if you play by the score you make it like the only the thing you wanted to play right now...

so for misprints - it's not me, it's catto's today

good lord, that's sweet.

I had an acquaintance who had a Sadowsky a few years ago--wonderful sound, he played kind of gypsy jazz stuff. I think he played more fingerstyle though.
Maybe it's my imagination, but I kind of get the feeling Scofield's "struggling" with the guitar, because it's not his main instrument. A lot of people who play nylon want to play it just like a steel string, but it doesn't behave quite the same way--different fret feel, sustain, resonances. Anyway, he sure plays the hell out of it, and any quirks just add to the interest of the song.

that reminded me Monk's solo recordings actually...
He is like trying and listening then and trying and listnening...
