Hi there - I'm glad you like it - it's an Ibanez AF207 7 string. All the best.

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thank you Mark!

The dreaded butter notes, Miles Davis' worst enemy. No doubt about that

Thank you - I've just been listening to your sound - it's amazing!

Many thanks Fons. Enjoying your channel too!

Thank you Mark! No plans just yet but you'll be the first to know :)

Isn't it a great one. I did a rather complicated arrangement of it when much younger but this time just went for simplicity :)

Thanks! I don't have any book recommendations for arranging. I do however have two very specific things I have done in recent years, which might help: 1) Choose the best 3 notes in chords and play only those 2) Practice inversions of chords (using 3 note chords) If you do that then a melody note will nearly always have a chord available, and that chord will be playable because you're playing less notes.

@@joefieldsolojazzguitar Thanks for he pointers. For the last year I've been buying sheet music - piano arrangements of single songs from back in the day. They're well written songs, great chords, and I'm then trying to come up with an arrangement. Recently got a good book by Tim Lerch which covers shapes for different types of chord, with a specific note as the highest note (not a or b, but root, 3rd etc) so you cansort out the melody. Tim's a GIT man from early 80s and took lessons from Ted Greene. I figure this way, the worst that will happen is I end up with an arrangement, that I put together, for a nice tune. Great stuff to play on your own. As corny as it sounds, I'm working on White Christmas including the intro nobody ever hears. I don't know when the sheet music was printed but it cost 1/-, and is "Authorised for sale only in the British Empire". Are you a working musician, do you gig much?

Sounds like a great plan - I haven't heard the intro to White Christmas! Right now I have a full time job doing something quite different to playing guitar but yes, I have spent lots of time as a working musician and still do gigs from time time to time :)

Hi - this was a direct line combined with a mic - so no amp (my usual recording setup). But as to the Henriksen Bud 10 - fantastic! Relatively lightweight and a beautiful live sound which is quite similar to my recorded sound. I highly recommend them.
