Never heard of them but I could tell by listening to them it was the 80's.

Very good Sarge, The Jetzons peaked in the 80's and 90's in the west. They were quite popular in the clubs, unusual for a non cover band, when they played they packed the house..

Unfortunately, nothing. However I did play 3 of my guitars today. Several songs on the Casino, Riviera, and the Gibson Gold Top. They all sound very good. The Gibson is better than ever after doing a setup on it.  Just sounds so great and has great sustain now.

"Right now" I'm listening to the noise from the TV set in the other room.  I'm here on this site through my desktop PC.  Never got into putting a disc or music from another source while on the computer.  Wrecks my concentration.  But last night I treated myself to----

Mussorgsky's PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION,  by The Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by MAX STEINER  followed by.......

Beethoven's SYMPHONY No. 7 in Amajor by the VIENNA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA conducted by LEONARD BERNSTEIN.

A lot of the sheet music I've used where there was no strong guitar part in the song, they tend to give you the piano chords.  The problem is, we can play a maximum of 6 notes at a time and there are no bass notes on a guitar.   So some of those voicings get a little crazy where they're telling you to play the chord with the bass note.   Are you playing it as a solo guitar piece?

The sheet music I purchased is piano music with guitar chords shown. My musical knowledge is limited, so in answer to your question, I'm simply trying to play along using the chords. And yes, some of the chords are complicated. But that's what makes it challenging for a hacker like me.

Jim Hall Trio live in San Francisco 1986, a 2CD set.

It's from a FM radio broadcast so has a lot of compression but still really good.

Yeah I have realized most radio broadcast recordings do not sound that good.

Sometimes the when a score is written out for sheet music they just apply chords from a standard chord chart, that are not what the original players used, but a translation. If you write down the chords and study them you may find a pattern that is a combination of open and bar chords. Look for the simplest way to play the song and you may be a lot closer to the way it was actually played.
