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 |

I’ve known Don since he started playing guitar and his passion for playing music was as strong then as it is now. Don doesn’t just play guitar he brings it alive. He really draws the audience in with every performance. “Smooth as silk” is how I would describe his playing.

MY MUSIC

|
Let Go
This is a clip from 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 jazz fingerstyle guitar solo. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
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. |

My One And Only Love (guitar & vocals)
This is a live performance clip of my Bellevegas Jazz arrangement of My One and Only Love, originally by Guy Wood (music) and Robert Mellin (lyrics). I recorded this at La Poche in Guelph Ontario on July 11, 2025. |

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
Here is a live performance clip of Time After Time, a beautiful torch song by Cyndi Lauper which I have re-arranged for solo Bellevegas jazz guitar. This was recorded on January 23, 2026 at the Guelph Civic Museum's Fourth Fridays series event. You may want to grab a lighter to wave along to this one! |
