Am I crazy for spending £40 on a plectrum...? Trying out a BlueChip IBJ55!
I treated myself to a new BlueChip pick - the Andy Wood IBJ55. I thought I would do a quick video sharing my thoughts on picks, and take you through some of my other favourites.

Christmas Time Is Here (from 'A Charlie Brown Christmas') - Vince Guaraldi
Переглядів 839Місяць тому
I heard this great festive tune the other day and couldn't resist putting together a quick arrangement of it myself. No fancy audio mixing on this one - it's just the Danelectro going through my Spark Mini, and apologies for the slightly lo-fi quality of the camera mic!

O Come All Ye Faithful - solo jazz guitar arrangement
Переглядів 653Місяць тому
I have a real soft spot for this old Christmas carol and I do think it lends itself to a few jazz-style harmonies. I took some inspiration from jazz pianist Marcus Roberts for a few of the voicings here. TAB transcription will be available for Patreon members very soon (patreon.com/AndyWatt). Merry Christmas!

Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand (guitar and bass arrangement)
Переглядів 256Місяць тому
'Castles Made Of Sand' is surely a contender for one of Jimi Hendrix's most beautiful songs.... This is our version - not an attempt to recreate the original, though I did try to recreate Jimi's backwards guitar solo.... I'm using my Danelectro 59X - a bit of a nod to the Danelectro that Hendrix had during his time in the Army. Huge thanks to Dan Rogers for joining me on bass for this one! TIP ...

My favourite DADGAD flatpicking Fandango! Beppe Gambetta writes amazing tunes....
Переглядів 2673 місяці тому
A cover of @BeppeGambettamusic's 'Fandango Per La Bionda' with Dan Rogers (www.danrogers.co.uk) on double bass. Beppe has an amazing 'economy' picking style which I couldn't quite emulate on the faster sections (02:20 and 03:12) so I went for hybrid picking instead, which seems to work! If you haven't already heard it then do check out Beppe's original recording of this tune for contrast. Hit '...
