I'm a 50+ year bassist and I approve this message.

Do you play the alternating bassline on a bossa with bass player?

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Nah, I just think it's a cool looking shirt, when Pat wears it, anyway. It looks great on him when he's jamming in concert, and his fans like it too. From his answer, he doesn't want to waste time...

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?

Good guitar tone for electric bossa nova

I love it! Really enjoyed your fills and ornamentations on the tune. I think the pick gives it a different feel as well from the finger style that the rest of us have fallen into.

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2
