    Absolutely lovely. l first heard this tune played by the wonderful Kenny Burrell on a classical guitar years ago.

      I’ve never heard Kenny doing it. I imagine it would be most excellent!

    Hello Rob, this arrangement coupled with your sensitive touch , captures perfectly the lost love so beautifully sang by Frank Sinatra
    on his Capitol recording with Nelson Riddle. I'm going to give this a try !

      High praise, David. Many thanks! And, yes, you should give it a try! Good luck.

    That's just great... and Galbraith's arrangement, well... it's easy to see why he was so highly rated by his contemporaries. An unsung hero! And you play it so well.

      Published by Mel Bay - two books of arrangements by Galbraith, standard notation plus tab. Glad you like it!

    For how long would you say gut strings last? Nice playing! :)

    • @RobMacKillop1
      @RobMacKillop1  7 лет назад +2

      The third string will last a few years - really. The second, maybe six months. The first - sometimes a few months, sometimes a few minutes! I have had first strings last for six months, but also six minutes. On average, a two or three months.

    Beautiful. What tuning are you using?

    • @RobMacKillop1
      @RobMacKillop1  8 лет назад

      Cheers. Standard tuning, but with gut strings you have to tune a little lower, just a quarter tone, though sometimes I dip a whole semitone when the strings are new. These strings are four months old.

    • @dwpardee

      +Rob MacKillop Does this mean you usually tune A=427.5, but sometimes A=415?

    • @RobMacKillop1
      @RobMacKillop1  8 лет назад +3

      Not that accurately. I tune the guitar each day to where I think it sounds best, which is anywhere from 415 to 430. As long as I'm not playing with another instrument, this is fine. A=440 was chosen by a committee in 1939, and the last thing they were thinking about was the guitar - they chose it for orchestral instruments. It's a big subject.
