Episode 59 Anatomy of a Song - Giant Steps

Playing Giant Steps on guitar was always quite a challenge for me. The "go-to" tune when it comes to master your technique, harmonic and improvisation skills. Having played it so much and for so many years, I slowly developed a really far out take on this classic with my group back a few years ago. When it was the time to record my then new album (named "Connections"), this arrangement was a perfect fit for the kind of recording I was doing at the time. So for this new podcast episode, I'm doing a breakdown of the arrangement, per request from some of you guys. First of all, I'm sorry for this REVERB FEST hahaha I've made a mistake while tracking this and the reverb got printed into the tracking.. 🤦🏽‍♂️ So you will be hearing me basically talking within a bathroom haha I apologize. there's also a few other versions here at my YouTube channel (a solo guitar one and a few live performances) that I'm linking here as well. I hope you enjoy this one and let me know what you think in the comments! ➡️ Guitar Solo Version ➜ ➡️ GS4 Live Version ➜
