I have the same guitar and would like to know what string gauge you use. Mine currently has D'Addario XL Chromes 10-14-20w-28-38-48. Or, if anyone else reads this...what do you suggest? Cheers from Nashville...Doug

Hi Larry! Sorry for my late reply!
I'm not able to offer TABs for this arrangement because of copyright reasons. So glad you like it though! Let me know here if there's anything you're wondering about regarding that arrangement - maybe I can help in writing.
Kind regards/Emil

Hi there!

Yes, you are absolutely right! Mistake by me!
I play that "pedal" note on the G string 9th fret (the note E).. In the notation and TAB I'm playing the major 3rd of that chord instead, as a pedal note.. That works too though! :)

Thanks for letting me know!
Kind regards/Emil

MOROTOR GUITAR – VOLO LIBERO

Mortoro Guitar Free Flight “Volo Libero:, Hollow Body electric Jazz guitar Built in 1994 by Gary Mortoro. I used to live less than a mile away from him in Miami.

41” Length 15.5” wide 2.25” thick with a single Benedetto Pickup

Golden Maple Body and maple neck. Carved ebony inlaid finger board. Solid ebony carved finger board and ebony tail piece. The fingerboard is very precise and inlaid with mother of pearl.

Built in 1994 serial no. 0294. This guitar was built for me as a gift from Gary who was a personal friend. He built it in the very traditional arch top jazz style. Pictures and more description below, but me phone nbr is 904-520-8217

This guitar sounds warm and mellow even when played without an amp. I can send you a file with the guitar plugged in through my amplifier or unamplified. Even with it being played with no amplifier, it has a sweet sound.

Gary built this guitar for me in 1994 it is a custom hand made guitar by Guitar maker from Miam. Gary Mortoro was a student of Bob Benedetto. He has made guitars for the following great guitarists: Gene Bertonucci, Tony Mottola, Bucky Pizzarelli, Jimmy Vivino, Rodney Jones, George Benson and Jimmy Buffet. (I actually played a few chords on it right before he shipped it to Jimmy). Rodney Jones said, "There is no finer Archtop available, simply put Gary's guitars are the D'Angelicos of the future".

My guitar has a very pronounced acoustic value, when played either in electric or acoustic. This guitar is in pristine condition no scratches, belt rashes, it does not have any dings. I’ve kept the guitar in it’s case, with no play wear. Comes with a hard case. There have never been any repairs there are no cracks , no checking or chips on this guitar. This is in excellent condition virtually in the same condition as when I received it from him. Pictures:

right now I'm very into scale parcticing. I found a very good youtube video with a clever way to practice those.

GUITAR SCALES: How to practice guitar scales effectively – 10:35
— GuitarVersum Sandra Sherman

She tought it to play through all 12 keys in the order of the circle of fourth.
It seems logic to me but I'm not sure if this is the exact right way.

What do you guys think about it?

I recently learned how chords in a diatonic key relate to each other. This was a huge surprise to me because this concept was new to me. My first impression of this was, "Wow this could totally revolutionize my soloing!" An example of this was the relationship between the Tonic and Median of any key. I noticed that if the Tonic is a Major 9 chord and the Median is a Minor 7th chord they are the exact same. Only the root is excluded in the Median. I then realized that I could use the E minor 7 arpeggio to solo over a C major Chord to create a major 9 sound. Any other substitutions that come to mind?
Happy Picking!
