I'm not advanced enough for a lot of the more complex single-guitar arrangements. Yellowstone is a nice simple intro for me, purely to indulge mucking about with effects and, if I'm lucky, learn to play cleanly. Recording has been a fantastic tool, mainly coz I don't hear a lot of the mistakes or rough bits while I'm making them.
For actually pretty pieces (IMO) I'm looking at Braveheart and Legends Of The Fall.

Broadening my knowledge of the jazz standards.
Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise. Loop pedal utilised for the chords. A few bung notes but getting there. Amps are both forum-made (Ryan-built Tweed, Plexi clone assembled by MikeC with cab by BG).

Jazz eludes me, and I'm OK with that, now. My time recently has been taken up with triads/inversions of, and learning to play over progressions in the keys relative major or minor. That's enough brain work for me!

Probably have to grow up with it, like most things. I was the rebellious teenager who didn't want to listen to my parent's favour music, e.g. The Who, Steely Dan. The natural place to land for a fifteen year-old in the mid 2000s was obviously Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. They were some of the first songs I learned on guitar. Probably why I can't strum a power chord to save my life.

Needs moar overdrive!
But very tasty regardless.
Hah, there is actually a Silverpistol OD running reasonably hot. I play so gently that it juuust compresses. If I were digging in work a pick it would be pretty distorted.

I heard a new NZ guitar release on the RNZ Jazz programme last week. I was driving and not really paying attention so I don't know who it was.
My Jazz knowlege is insufficient to describe it beyond saying the music was techinically well to the right of Brubeck but the interpretation... Melody started with a sax and morphed seamlessly into a gained out guitar. The rhythym track was crunch power chords and the drummer; you could hear his superb command of jazz chops but he was playing it as metal.
It was a quite standard jazz track with the gain turned up to 11. It was awesome!
