“sunny” – jazz guitar chord solo (arr. joe pass)

studioperdue — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:38:42 +0000

What struck me as a rather melancholy arrangement (by Joe Pass) of “Sunny” – some beautiful voicings in here, creating lots of interesting nuances to exploit when interpreting this arrangement with a loose ballad feel. 4ths tuning.

“blues” – jazz guitar chord solo (joe pass arrangement)

studioperdue — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:24:58 +0000

“Blues” – a jazz guitar chord solo arranged by Joe Pass – trying to make look as easy as Joe does is no mean feat! (Perhaps made a bit more challenging given that I’m playing it in fourths tuning.) Whatever one’s tuning, this is a great piece that offers a lot of dynamic and rhythmic possibilities.

“little drummer boy” – jazz guitar solo

“silent night” – jazz guitar solo
