Step into the smoky, dim-lit world of jazz guitar mastery as I delve into the art of arranging Duke Ellington's timeless piece, "Prelude to a Kiss." Join me as I unravel the nuances of my approach to crafting solo guitar renditions that not only sound nice but are also playable. Through a melodic journey, we'll explore various methods and techniques, dissecting each chord and harmonization technique, all while maintaining the essence of Ellington's masterpiece. My intention was to do this in the style of Joe Pass, during the course of the video I demonstrate numerous techniques that Joe used. As a bonus, you'll receive a downloadable PDF of the arrangement. Get ready to infuse your playing with the timeless elegance of Duke Ellington
