    Wow, this is amazing! Gotta be one of the most intimidating charts I ever tried to play, way back when I was playing jazz. Haven’t actually done a jazz gig in years, but of late there are lots of indicators it’s time to find a couple of situations to do so. Thanks for this one!

      I’ve never attempted to play it—I’m really just beginning to find my feet as a jazz guitarist.
