I’ve added a number of new pieces to the “Media – Guitar Performance” page: versions of Ellington’s “Cottontail”, “My Funny Valentine” and “Have You Met Miss Jones” by Rodgers and Hart, and a solo guitar version of Sonic Youth’s “The Diamond Sea”.
Here are some links.
Thanks to Greg for the continued support and airplay on CHUO and generous description – “visionary guitar theorist”!

Had some lovely gigs at the Jumping Bean on Mar 7 and the Rocket Bakery on Mar 28 – and my next performance will be Apr 26 at the Spirit Bar at 9 pm. I also finally made it out to The Ship’s Night Music last week, hosted by the Former Eraser, and enjoyed a wonderful jam with some excellent players.
Continuing my study of jazz standards, I was proud of this version of “My Funny Valentine”, expanded with looper and Ebow:
It’s been a fun couple of months. Opening remained on CKUT’s album chart for four weeks from Jan 21-Feb 11 so thanks again so much for the support!
In addition to recording “Black Orpheus”, it was a good month – more radio station support, including making Montreal campus/community station CKUT’s top 5 for the week of January 21.
J’ai aussi lancé ma deuxième vidéo au sujet de l’harmonie:
Lastly I had a great time playing a lunchtime gig at the Rocket Bakery and Cafe on Water St. in St. John’s yesterday (Jan 31). Looking forward to more exciting activity in February.
Here’s a solo classical guitar interpretation of the Luiz Bonfa classic: https://soundcloud.com/sundar-subramanian/manha-de-carnaval-black-orpheus
J’ai commencé une série de vidéos au sujet de l’harmonie, vu que le Conservatoire Royal n’a pas de livres en français. La 1re, c’est une introduction générale: c’est quoi, le solfège? Comment est-ce qu’on apprend l’harmonie? Pourquoi est-ce qu’on se concentre sur les chorals de Bach?
Recorded this version of the Mancini standard “Days of Wine and Roses” about a week ago, after a couple of rounds of feedback from Matt Warnock; stretched out a bit (click on the link below)
Just arranged and recorded this interpretation of Ornette Coleman’s “Peace”: https://sundarsubramanian.bandcamp.com/track/peace
