The Chetboard

I have been trying to figure things out on this board. Here is an mp3 of my arrangement of Carol of the Bells that I hope works. Thanks for your help Bruce.

Roger, that was both intricate and beautiful. I heard some of the more difficult techniques used by several of our heroes. I was reminded of Chet's ending to "Blue Angel" and Lenny's complex chordal harmonics. It also reminded me of some of what Tommy Jones' techniques. I can tell that you put a lot of thought into putting this together, as well as utilizing techniques that most people on this board probably wouldn't be able to pull off.........oh, maybe a few pull-offs.....lol.

If this were a contest entry, you'd probably walk away with the gold.

That was really beautiful Roger!! Love your work!!

Thanks Rande and Roger those compliments mean a lot.

Roger, that was incredible! Absolutely beautiful, and what amazing fingerwork!

By the way, I notice you gave me credit above ... folks should know that I only helped with how to post the mp3, not with the beautiful music, which you arranged so nicely on your own.

I wish there were a way of rating tunes on the Board. This one would surely get 5 stars from me, Roger. It's captivating.

All my best
Bruce

Thanks for saying those nice things Bruce I appreciate it. I recorded that almost a year ago and plan on redoing it. I have worked those string squeaks out of it now.

You were a big help last night. For some reason I just could not figure out how to do the mp3's and yet it was so simple... ... Ask Bruce

Thanks again

wow. That's some great solo pickin'

Roger,
Wonderful arrangement and picking.

Wow! Roger, you're a spot on machine precision technique monster without sacrificing the 'spirit' in your playing. You always amaze me. Squeaks? Heck, if I got rid of all my string squeaks there wouldn't be much left.
