Been working on my guitar shell voicings the last two or three days (I'm not a guitarist... only started taking it seriously about 3 weeks ago) and this morning I managed to eek out what seems to me to be a cool, simple little arrangement of "Silver Bells". Just recorded in a little bit ago, didn't have my real trumpet or my flugel which I would've preferred but it was just for the fun of it.

Lots of you guys are guitarists, any must-learn shell voicings? Right now I'm working just on my 3-note root-based fingerings and having LOADS of fun with it.

That's really nice David. I like hearing what you're up to, it's always interesting and different. 'Shell voicings'..I've never heard of that. Yet another gap in my musical knowledge

Thanks a lot James! I appreciate all of your comments! I like to try and learn as much as I can while I still can :)

Guitar sounds good to me. Got that rolled off highs jazz sound. Trumpet sounds great! Nice version of this Christmas tune!

love this David - one of my Christmas favourites and I like what you have done to it.

That's about as constructive as a bull in a china shop.

thanks Glenn and daryl! Had fun throwing it together. I definitely could put some time into continuing to expand what I can do with the guitar in stuff like this.

Not sure Danny but whether this is positive or negative criticism, I am wholeheartedly receptive

This is really good! I really enjoyed hearing this one very much! 
 
Happy Holidays!
