Jazz Standards for Solo Guitar: "Misty"
65An easy but effective ballad
This one is must-know jazz standard by Errol Garner called "Misty". It's one of the first arrangements I made for solo guitar, a few years back. It's not that difficult to play, but it's still one of my favorite songs to play because it just sounds so damn good (credits to E. Garner of course).
As usual I've put up a video of the enlarged sheet music for you to be able to hear it and hopefully play it more easily.
Also, please take a second to "visit" (a.k.a. click a couple of times) the ads on the site, they help me put more transcriptions and exercises like these up for you to play!!
so...
...enjoy!

Thanks Getmyback! By the way anyone, feel free to comment on how I could make these better!
The music couldve been made suitable for being printed. At this point, when printed, it comes out small and blurry.
Vinny send me your email address and I will send you high-res versions. There's a maximum file size I can post here.

Thanks,
I heard your playing Misty ,there is a little bit different from arrangement
it's possible James, in a lot of passages i had to choose one of several variations, sometimes the rythm, the exact arpeggio, etc. I might have edited the sheet music after I recorded the audio. Feel free to not play it exactly as the arrangement by the way, in fact I would encourage you all to vary it up, once you have the chord shape, try out different variations, go crazy with it. It ain't jazz if you're just trying to play the exact same thing every time. Like I said, only one possibility is written down for each passage, and it's a great practice and theory-learning tool, but don't hold these as written in stone. Thanks for pointing out though.
Lovely arrangement. I am just getting into solo Jazz chord melodies, and am a journalist for a number of guitar mags. However, like most modern players, and know only TAB.
I wish you people of talent would PLEASE do tab versions of your wonderful pieces. I want to use these piece as an entry into jazz chord melodies, but I can't learn formal notation, and its not natural to me or the last three generations,
Please please give us a tab version of this, It would mean so much and take so little. Thanks
