Don Moore is a professional guitarist with over 30 years experience. He plays Bellevegas jazz guitar, which borrows catchy melodies from jazz, pop, rock, folk, country, all the way to celtic music to produce masterful solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements, complemented by Don's soulful baritone vocals. I love playing jazz and complicated fingerstyle chord melodies, but this is heavily informed by my unpretentious roots as a rocker kid from Belleville Ontario (aka 'Bellevegas')" - Don Moore |

Batucada
This beautiful bossa nova style piece was originally recorded as a duet by guitar virtuosos Chet Atkins and Lenny Breau on their album Standard Brands. I re-arrange the song as a solo Bellevegas jazz guitar composition, adding my own Bellevegas flair to a masterful tune by one of the greatest guitar duos ever. |

Let Go
This is one of my favorite songs by British pop diva Imogen Heap. Originally a techno-pop song recorded by Heap when she sang in the pop duo Frou Frou, I re-imagine the tune without the electronic drumkit as a Bellevegas style jazz guitar solo. |

Christmas Time Is Here
This is a beloved Christmas song by jazz master Vince Guaraldi from the cartoon Peanuts (A Charlie Brown Christmas). Originally recorded for piano, stand up bass, and drum kit, I rearrange it as a solo Bellevegas jazz guitar piece. I like to describe it as "Joe Pass meets Vince Guaraldi at a Christmas party." This is one of my very first Bellevegas jazz arrangements and still my favorite to play. |

How Deep Is Your Love
This catchy song is one of the greatest hits by British pop stars The Bee Gees. I take the infectious melody and masterful chord changes and re-arrange the piece into a Bellevegas solo jazz guitar arrangement. |

Time After Time
Time After Time is a beautiful torch song by Cyndi Lauper which I have re-arranged for solo Bellevegas jazz guitar. You may want to grab a lighter to wave along to this one! |
