Default "Basin Street Blues" - (Spencer Williams) - guitar solo fingerstyle

"Basin Street Blues" is one of the first Jazz-Blues songs Iīve learned many years ago. And with most songs I like, I try to play them on my guitar all alone. So its also long since I made this arrangement with a separate walking bass line.
Hope you like my version...

Great playing! Very relaxed and smooth despite this seemingly being quite an involved piece.

Fantastic tune also, I hadn't heard it in a really long time.

Hi Starwars,
thank you very much for your comment...
The real work is, to find out, how to place the melody and harmoniy over the walking bass. When this is done, the playing isnīt that complicated anymore....

Many greetings
Gerhard
