Tom Moore

Tom Moore music is indie acoustic rock from the banks of Lake Monroe

Blue Monk

If you have known me for any length of time, you have heard me play this arrangement of Blue Monk by Thelonious Monk. It has become a bit of a habitual thing that I do whenever I pick up a guitar.

I originally performed Blue Monk as a recital piece when I was at school for Jazz. My private guitar instructor wrote this arrangement. I love Jazz chord melody style guitar. One day I will get back to learning some other jazz standards.

But until then, for all of you that aren't already completely nauseated by my rendition of this tune: enjoy.

Blackbird

I recorded this in my bathroom a few months ago. I borrowed a friend's four track and sat on the "Jon". It was the only place in the house where I could get away from the road noise.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite Beatles songs....from the The White Album.

Interestingly enough the Beatles recorded all of their albums on four track up until the aforementioned. I'm so behind the times!
