The 1986 smooth jazz hit with the killer guitar solo.The total song can't be fit into 12 bars, so what is presented here is the intro, 2 verses, the chorus, and an ending. You can manipulate the playbackm to acommate soloing. Smiles and Smiles To Go - Larry Carleton

Misty Everyone has their way of playing Misty. This is the way I learned the song. But no matter how you play it, in their head everyone hears Johnny Mathis. This version is a total song , complete with an intro, 2 verses, a break, last verse and an ending. So it will be suitable for use at a...

Summer Samba (Walter Wanderly version) There are a million versions of this tune but for me Summer Samba is an instrumental played on a Hammond organ. It sounds like such a light weight, puff piece, but that belies the tune's amazing structural complexities, from the melody, to the chords, to...

Blue Christmas (Elvis Version) A stripped down easy to play and easy to sing with Blue Christmas, just the way Elvis liked it. Actually, Elvis's key is E but I think some of the chords play better in F key. So that's how I did it. If you are a purist, it's easy enough to transpose. Enjoy...

One of Santana's greatest covers including his characteristic on fire solo. This version is clocked to match the Moonflower album version, from the intro beginning through to the end of the lyrics. The end drum & rhythm breaks as well as the final solos are not built into this version. The song...

Lots of effort for 45 seconds of music but nothing puts a smile on everyone's face when you've ripped through the orchestral version of Darth Vader's theme. The intro timing is 1bt=Gm, 2bt=Gm, 3bt=triplet Gm, 4bt=tuplet(5)Ebm. If you're doing guitar,the Gm voicing is a power chord=low G,mute out...

A one note song and how many chord permutations can ACJ wring out of it.....you gotta love the guy! There are dozens of versions of the tune but this track is built from Jobim's well known 1960's instrumental recording with Creed Taylor. The key, the timing, and the arrangement mirror that...

Town Without Pity (Gene Pitney Classic) The total song including the key change at the end. There are dozens of covers of this tune but this version is clocked to match the original classic Gene Pitney way.The only divination is 4 beats of added chord drama at the end of which I'm partial to...

Thank you, I'm glad you found value in my version. It's not from a tab, I picked it off the cd but I'm not a uke player and had to convert it to the upper 4 strings of my guitar. But it's a backing track for a string instrument so the chords don't have to be voiced exact. Just a reply to your...

I posted a couple of Christmas tunes the other day and they got moved to a sub file, 'Holiday 100'. Since then those 2 songs don't show up in my profile and when you do a search by song name or song author, they are non existent. However if you scroll manually thru the Holiday 100 file it is...

You really can't 'select' alternate voicings. You can sort of fool the machine by using a substitute chord and then adding your root bass note, say you don't like the way D sounds so you might sub it out for a Bm7 with a D bass.Sometimes that works. The program will change chord voicings on it's...

Jingle Bell Rock (Bobby Helms version) It's a classic. From Hank Garland's killer intro lick to Bobby Helm's wonderful twank accent - it's timeless. This version is clocked to match Helm's recording so you can sing along, or insert the cool rockabilly licks, or just Twist (if the mood is...
