  • Here is almost 2 hours of solo guitar. On 7 string arch top I play mostly jazz standards but I do throw in the odd pop tune. I do it mostly as solo guitar but also do a bit of live looping to give my hands a rest. Hope you enjoy.
    A few tunes from my monthly solo guitar gig here in Winnipeg. Mostly Jazz with few pop tunes thrown in, most solo guitar with a little looping thrown in to rest my hands.

    Angel eyes, that old devil sent... Robert you're a great guitarist, you played a lovely selection of standards and just like, when I see a professional guitarist like you at a public place/restaurant/hotel lobby I am perplexed by the sound and skill and passion and I lose track of what I was doing. I find it funny to see people walking past you. Where do they have to go or be that's more important than stopping for 10 mins and enjoying your jazz guitar. You are a rare breed these days and I wish you the very best in your life and carrer from the bottom of my heart (from one man who didn't have the courage to pursue his dreams decades ago, and would love to be able to trade places with you for one night).

      I would have way more songs than needed. For this gig it was 4x50 minute sets and I didn't play every tune I know. Basically do your repertoire as a gig at home and time it.
      Do sets so you don't burn out your hands.
      Hope this helps

      I don't know if it is on the guitar at the time of this video, but I have added a ribbon under saddle to it. It is passive and I only use it when recording in the studio. IT's from PUTW and they can make them for any instrument and and bridge.

      @riverheightsmusic  5 років тому +3

      Hi Phillip, I started with simple pop tunes, in easy keys, where both the melody and chords were relatively simple (the notes found right in the chords) as I expanded and increase the challenge level I found that the melody was usually in the chords.
      Obviously I expanded my chord repertoire to apply it to jazz but I also found new (to me) chords when trying to combine the melody and the harmony.
      I hope this helps a little.
