I put my 1581 to work today on Goodbye Pork Pie Hat --a tune Mingus wrote to lament and celebrate Lester Young. I've always loved these changes; they seem to be loaded with a "blue force"! Does anyone else here play a version?

Really nice Greg. Perfect song for this dreary, rainy day here.

Greg: you have an exquisite touch, a great feel for the music, and your smooth, almost languid transitions, along with silky tasteful lead runs, weave a mood of melancholy loneliness and loss. Great job on this great song.

It's always nice to hear how awesome my former guitars sound in the hands of talent!

Always a favourite. Beautifully played - you only need Jonas Hellborg to give The Man a run for his money!

Love that song. It's one I have started to learn about 3 times.

Beautiful version of it Greg!

Thanks for posting. Maybe I'll start to learn it again.

I really appreciate the feedback, it means a lot to me! Always glad to share the arrangement or info about the tune (I found a few chords to sub here and there). I used a Zoom H4...

Greg, what did you play that on? Any effects (sounds like a little reverb, touch of chorus?)
Very NICE!

Thanks DB! I've come up with an easy point-and-click "circle of sound": I plug my Adamas 1581-5 into a little Fishman Loudbox and point the stereo mics of my Zoom H4, one at the Fishman, the other at the guitar. I had the amp on low with a little reverb, yes, no chorus.

Such nice folks! I continue to marvel at the little ZOOM H4: two batteries, tiny-fixed mics, but if you do it right you get good sound. I recorded the snippet yesterday to a data-rich WAV format and you should hear the CD played through a decent system! Sounds like the studio. All from a point-click cigarette-box with built-in mics!

The positive feedback has pushed me into a new project: learning Horace Silver's LONELY WOMAN especially in METHENEY\'S ARRANGEMENT . Beyond words. He also does it on A COUNTRY ARTIST!

JM's Extrapolation -- no surprise there i guess. Nice work.

Here\'s a fellow i took classes with for a while, who as a different approach to the tune.
