Default SOTW#2: The Nearness...
..of You...

Cheated a bit here, I was sick this week, so not only did I already know this song (but hadn't arranged it for solo guitar) I'm kindawinging my way through this...with a couple of cool chords I knew I was going to get in there somehow...

Anyway, enjoy! 50 weeks to go:

I should be so lucky to sound like that while "winging" it! Good stuff.

Love this tune! Great arrangement, Jeff. Nice tone on that little classical, too.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks all.

Yeah, Kyle, that's a very well worn lapatrie etude, my school guitar for the past 8 years...there's some bare wood showing, but it sounds as good as ever.

Love the song. Nice job and beautiful jazz phrases. Your Jazz phrasing helps me put some of those chords into a context...thanks man!

Thanks all...

A few funny chord shapes with some notes close together thrown in and I can fool y'all, huh?
