George Benson/Affirmation all part all instrument transcribed and cover by Naoyuki Kudo w/tab

[@guitarkozo]

I found the mistake of tab on 1:00.(Thanks for letting me know it. William Scherer! I really appreciate your kindness.) The sound and guitar play are OK! 4th beat is in 16th G A F# G is correct.

[@harryjay4340]

This is the best version of someone, other than Mr. Benson playing Affirmation. YOU NAIL IT!!!

Thank you brother, and thank you Japanese people, for loving and keeping jazz fusion alive. So many Americans have become amoebas, passive listeners, unable to distinguish the greatness of music such as this.. but many Japanese still have an ear for Chic Corea, George Benson, Miles Davis, return to forever, pat Metheny.. and then the great Japanese fusion artists. Thank you all. Thank you Japan for so many great guitarists and musicians, please keep music and instruments alive. AI and artificially produced empty rubbish is threatening human art.

はじめまして。このギターはグッドマンでしょうか？ もしそうであれば約２０年弱前程に手放した者です。その当時泣く泣く手放しました。あまりにも懐かしくメールいたしました。 そのギターはニューヨーク在住の時にスタテンアイランドの今は無きマンドリンブラザーズで購入した物でした。カスタムギターでした。一目惚れで購入しましたね^_^ 今も大切に弾き続けられてるのは、ありがたいなと思っております！ 私事で申し訳ありません。 良い音を奏で続けてください‼️

[@guitarkozo]

このギターの前の所有者さんですか！！　びっくりです！！ 20年ぐらい前かと思いますが、いい感じのフルアコ が欲しいなとウォーキンのHPを見ていた所このギターのまず見た目が気に入ってしまいまして。 その後実際にお店に行って試してみて生音もいいし、アンプから出した音も良いしという事で購入させていただきました！！ ジャズのライブをやる時もこうやって動画をあげる時もフルアコの音が欲しい時はこの子に頑張ってもらっております！ 震災の時に倒れてボディに傷が入ってしまいましたが、今でもずっといい音を奏で続けてくれています。 Yoshiさんが手放してくれたおかげで今僕の手にあるんですね。　感慨深いですなあ。 他にもこのギターであげている動画もいろいろありますので是非おヒマな時にでもみてみてくださいね。 コメントありがとうございます！！

@@guitarkozo Thank you for taking the time to produce the TAB in the video. I'd already worked it out by ear from your 2017 video but, it was nice to see the confirmation. :) And although you're certainly using Benson sweep triads, I thought it was YOUR line that leapt out at me. I don't recall hearing it that way in any GB versions (but might've missed it). Either way, it's a killer line. Nice job!

[@guitarkozo]

I just trancecribe the note correctly as possible as I can. But, I think this line is almost correct. I can't imagine the any other way to play this line. Anyway, if my trancecribe helps someones music life, I'm so happy to hear it. Thanks for the comment!!
