Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2018 5:25 pmRande, good playing! Always enjoy your covers.
I tried to learn Chet's version of the tune from his "Alone" album when I was a younger buck, still pretty new to guitar. I took an old record player (with a tone arm) and set a penny on it to slooooooooooow it down. What I call learning the HARD WAY! Flinstones actually.
It took a long time and a truckload of persistence, but I finally nailed the middle arpeggio section of his arrangement. (That was the prettiest part!) and I I thought I was Mr wonderful when I could play it for my friends.
All these years later, I can still play it from muscle memory. But I never did figure out the REST of the tune!
Anyway, I like your arrangement. I always enjoy your playing. Keep 'em coming!
