A while ago I made a transcription of a Joe Pass solo fingerstyle version of Joyspring, as I was fascinated to know how he made this into an effective solo guitar arrangement (I worked it out from that youtube video where he plays to some people in a guitar shop, plus bits from another version he recorded).
It’s an absolute pig to play, I still can’t play it properly. Increased my respect for Joe no end. Especially as in the youtube video he starts talking while he plays it!

I find a 150w Beaudens power station available (only in Europe, though). It uses Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, which I would prefer over Lithium ion. Amazon says it weighs 2.2kg, which is about...
List of covers. I can't pretend I've heard them all. Find the ones you like. They seem to like Harry Connick, Jnr.

By the way, although Miles Davis took credit for writing Donna Lee, the first two phrases are almost identical to the opening of Fats Navarro's solo over his tune Ice Freezes Red, recorded more than...
