I've heard Nuages hundred times. Mostly performed by gypsy jazz guitarists accompanied by other guitarists, violinists, etc. Heard also performances of classical arrangement by Roland Dyens. Your version on 7-string classical guitar surprised me completely. I'm truly amazed with what you did with this popular tune. It's so different than any other arrangement, so fresh, sounds so great. Respect!

Thank you, Aaron!! Glad you enjoyed it. Such a beautiful song and so many pathways to explore. Do you play Gypsy Jazz or classical guitar by chance? Cheers from MN,
-Ben

I'm still watching other videos on site and came back to your Nuages, so I can reply. Yes I play the guitar. It's standard 6-string classical guitar, classical repertoire. I attend music school in Netherlands. I do try to play some solo jazz as well, but still learning it. I don't dare to post my video anywehere yet, but hope some day I will be ready for it.
