Road to the West arranged for Jazz Guitar

This is a song I spent about a month and a half working on. It's an arrangement on a jazz song composed by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts. It's originally a sax solo performed by Masato Honda(correct me if I'm wrong here) and backed up with a synth. I put a little of my own spin but tried to stay to true to the original feel of the composition.
Equip list:
Guitar: BC Rich ST-III
Amp: Digitech Genesis3
Keyboard: Yamaha Motif Rack/Novation Launchkey61
Software: Sonar X3

Getting some David Gilmour vibes from this

[@smoothknyte]

That was kind of the sound I was reaching for. I thought about doing this with some smooth distortion and compression, but I figured it'd be more to the feeling of the song to go with more of a jazz strat tone.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been rewatching Cowboy Bebop and finally roped my father into watching it. One song that stood out in my mind was this song (it reminds me of Love Theme from Blade Runner) and I’m glad I came across this cover.

[@smoothknyte]

Thanks so much and I'm very glad you liked the cover! Funny thing about Love Theme from Blade Runner, it almost sounds like Vangelis was covering "Can't Take my Eyes off of You" with that song.

[@Asylum_M]

Hi, amazing arrangement.
Do you have a tab or a sheet list for the guitar part?

[@smoothknyte]

+Asylum Ah I actually don't, I mostly just came up with it on the fly, listening to it by ear and then throwing in pieces that I thought would fit in for a guitar solo. I can say that it's in Bb and my fingers pretty much hung out from the 12th to 15th fret. If it would help, I do have the chord progression I can send you.

[@jokkdahl6874]

Over here! I would love the chord progression, if you don't mind!! Amazing job dude!

[@smoothknyte]

@@smoothknyte hey! do you still have the tab for this piece. Road to the West is a favorite of mine from Cowboy Bebop

[@smoothknyte]

@@baestation2190Thanks for stopping by. I unfortunately don't have a tab, because I figured it out mostly by ear. It's in Bflat, and my fingers were mostly between 12 and 15. I do have the chords if those would help.

[@baestation2190]

smoothknyte yes i’ll have those! keep on rockin! [e-mail]
