Almost 2 Hours of Solo Guitar - Jazz Dinner Music - Robert Burton Winnipeg

Here is almost 2 hours of solo guitar. On 7 string arch top I play mostly jazz standards but I do throw in the odd pop tune. I do it mostly as solo guitar but also do a bit of live looping to give my hands a rest. Hope you enjoy.
A few tunes from my monthly solo guitar gig here in Winnipeg. Mostly Jazz with few pop tunes thrown in, most solo guitar with a little looping thrown in to rest my hands.

Great guitar. My lover of 62 years died of COVID two years ago and my new Lover is Cuban and loves guitar so I will subscribe and keep the links for her. as well as myself.

Angel eyes, that old devil sent... Robert you're a great guitarist, you played a lovely selection of standards and just like, when I see a professional guitarist like you at a public place/restaurant/hotel lobby I am perplexed by the sound and skill and passion and I lose track of what I was doing. I find it funny to see people walking past you. Where do they have to go or be that's more important than stopping for 10 mins and enjoying your jazz guitar. You are a rare breed these days and I wish you the very best in your life and carrer from the bottom of my heart (from one man who didn't have the courage to pursue his dreams decades ago, and would love to be able to trade places with you for one night).

Thank you so much Javier!

This guy, like many jazz guitarists, is like a sorcerer. That's the only way I can describe his playing. Listen to that honest, authentic tone. Awesome!

[@riverheightsmusic]

Wow thank you. This video is almost 4 years old and still makes it into to peoples lives. The hotel I did this at may not survive the lockdowns, but I hope to be there again and make another video.

[@pedrofarinazzo]

It's funny how people associate seven string guitars with modern heavy metal, but it's been around for a long while in jazz, like George Van Eps did haha. Great playin! Loved it

[@riverheightsmusic]

Thanks The focus on heavy metal extends to the manufacturers as well. Hard to find a 7 string in normal body and headstock options

[@prodigaljess]

Just magnificent from start to finish! #JazzGoals

[@jackelshaw7331]

Hey Robert, killer playing in this video! it's so beautiful. I'm putting together a solo guitar set to gig, but unsure how many songs i'd need to aim for. How many would you recommend? Also any other tips would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

[@riverheightsmusic]

Thanks for the kind words! I would have way more songs than needed. For this gig it was 4x50 minute sets and I didn't play every tune I know. Basically do your repertoire as a gig at home and time it. Do sets so you don't burn out your hands. Hope this helps RB

[@microdot4374]

Ibanez, sounds cool!!!.............🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶♾✍🏼

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

Very nice, what is the first tune you played? can you list just a few of the tunes you played? thank you

[@riverheightsmusic]

The First tune is "Angel Eyes" I haven't listen to this in a while but if you find a tune on here you want to know about just tell the minute and second mark and I'll let you know

[@sergius28]

[@Staffan704]

Thank for nice playing! I also have the same guitar and I am now practicing to get a lounge repertoire. But I wonder if you have extended the guitar with an extra piezopickup? Where did you get that from?

[@riverheightsmusic]

I don't know if it is on the guitar at the time of this video, but I have added a ribbon under saddle to it. It is passive and I only use it when recording in the studio. IT's from PUTW and they can make them for any instrument and and bridge.

[@Staffan704]

@@riverheightsmusic Thank you so much!

[@jrthomas9060]

Enjoyed your playing! Nice rich sound with a combination innovation and flare. Which guitar are you playing.? It appears to be an Ibanez.

[@riverheightsmusic]

Thanks for the kind words! Is is an Ibanez an AFJ957.

[@mikedisd3]

Great set. But you do get to take breaks right?

[@riverheightsmusic]

This is a knitted together video of 4 sets, but if I have a gig that is only 2 hours, I play straight through

Does anybody know what song he's playing at 11:40? Love it!

[@PatrickTengmusic]

How do I purchase the 7-string guitar TABS for these solo jazz gigs?

[@riverheightsmusic]

These are all improvised arrangements but I do have some basic frameworks that I start with. The way I can get you going is through lessons where I play the arrangement and show you each step.

[@PatrickTengmusic]

@@riverheightsmusic do you have an email address I can write to you to understand how the lessons work is it just to purchase the transcripts that are all or is it a one-to-one interface as in zoom etc?

[@freddiebowers1125]

Very nice 👍 is this a Gibson?

[@riverheightsmusic]

It’s an Ibanez AFJ957 Gibson does not make, nor ever has made a 7 string guitar

[@jazztemple2]

Is it safe to assume it's a low B-string?

[@riverheightsmusic]

You are correct!

This is not my style at all. But I enjoyed the hek out of it, sir. Thank you for the upload!

[@phillipchambers6055]

Fantastic. How do you learn to play solo jazz guitar? I'd love to play like you.

[@riverheightsmusic]

Hi Phillip, I started with simple pop tunes, in easy keys, where both the melody and chords were relatively simple (the notes found right in the chords) as I expanded and increase the challenge level I found that the melody was usually in the chords. Obviously I expanded my chord repertoire to apply it to jazz but I also found new (to me) chords when trying to combine the melody and the harmony. I hope this helps a little.

[@phillipchambers6055]

@@riverheightsmusic Thanks mate. Makes sense. Simple -> complex etc. Did you start with charts? Or just listen and learn?

[@phillipchambers6055]

@@riverheightsmusic p.s. I subscribed and rang the bell :-)

[@riverheightsmusic]

@@phillipchambers6055 Thanks Phillip. I admit I started with charts in the form of lead sheets (melody and chords only) from there I was able to make skeletal arrangements, memorize and then expand. I do listen to get more ideas and to see how much more (or less) I can do.
