I thought it would be nice to play you a chord melody arrangement of After You’ve Gone, a beautiful jazz standard that works really well for solo guitar.

Now the exciting bit:

  • Detailed comping ideas to suit the style of each jazz standard covered

    That was a truly incredible arrangement and performance! It’s nice to see you play after hearing your podcast for a few months. I just signed up for the 30Day Chord Melody challenge. This was quite inspiring.

    Cheers!
