How High the Moon (in G?)

[Steve Bolander]

I would try to bend the notes, creating fantastic ghostly microtones in a awesome blues solo (Les Pauls genius style) and so on

Just to ilustrate this recipe:

Any rendition of How High The Moon played by Les Paul is a treat to listen to. Especially his 1951 #1 hit recording of it with Mary Ford.

But, let's not ignore Tommy Emmanuel's amazing tribute to Les Paul on that particular song.
