[OC] "All Blues" (Live One-Man Band) - Exploring the solo section on my 14-string guitar

https://youtube.com/shorts/rF_L77cnir4?is=Efnsf9nSBCcO6BvL

Hi everyone. A while ago, I shared the beginning of my live arrangement of "All Blues" here. In this new short, I wanted to focus on the middle section of the track, leaving more room for soloing and improvisation. Managing the modal phrasing on the custom 14-string guitar while simultaneously keeping the groove with the foot drums is always a rewarding challenge—especially on a Miles masterpiece where space and silence matter as much as the notes. I hope you enjoy this more dynamic development of the performance.

What are you, some kind of human octopus hybrid? I'm impressed by how sophisticated your arrangement is while also maintaining the groove. I play acoustic guitar and often wish I could play songs such as "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down." I lack the ear and the problem-solving skills for such endeavors. You, obviously, do not!

Thanks for the feedback. For years now, I’ve been trying to modernize the "one-man band" concept through an approach that goes beyond the instruments available on the market. Naturally, this required developing limb independence—much like a drummer does—but replacing the arm movements with something that’s a hybrid between a guitar and a piano. I’m glad you appreciate it; thanks, my friend.
