The piece itself is particularly simple and nice to play through; the hard bit is the physical side of playing barres on the 8-string, but I feel it is something which none the less should be practiced. I know some people find playing barres hard on their fingers or wrist so take it easy and find a comfortable position to play in.
This is just an arrangement of the comping, over the next few posts I hope to have a version that incorporates the melody. At this time it has a few stretches that most people (including myself!) wouldn't find easy. So:
Kenny Burrell - All Blues (8 String)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will catch you in a few days with some more simple grooves and patterns for the fellow beginners/improvers out there.

Hey man, it's Randy from the Charlie Hunter board. Thanks for the Kenny Burrell transcription!
That's exactly what I was looking for, something to get some chord shapes under my belt.
Mike,
I do this in A, it opened up a lot more possibilities for me. Easier to solo and keep the separate bassline going in different positions as well. Its not that great a rendition, but I've got it posted up on my myspace page.
Peace,

Randy, good to hear from you. I have a few more things I will be putting up soon which will be right up your street. Keep an eye out.
Doug, I had a listen and a go at playing it in 'A' myself. It is definately easier when playing all three parts. Will put a version up soon for others to play.
Nice playing, I look forward to hearing more.
Mikey
p.s. The wood on your guitar is lovely!
