No fancy fingerwork but just nice harmonies.

Thanks, Charlie. I would like for it to be smoother. Creativity and ideas are one thing but actually performing them is my challenge.

Rande, that made my day! To see you so comfortable making videos after agonizing for so many years is really gratifying to me. Keep up the great work!!

Rande, 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!
