If It Hadn't Been For Love Chords And Lyrics

I have some sympathy with your viewpoint, I think guitarists often feel they need to harmonise every note with a block chord, and often this hampers the flow of the melody. If it hadn't been for love chords & lyrics. For many years, but also use others, you frequently employ a AF200. There was some arpeggiation of chords, a little counterpoint at the beginning, and a boppy little phrase to end it, but generally it seemed quite restrained to me. Doesn't happen that often.

I have always found the Ibanez 58 pickups to sound very good. Like you I generally try to keep the melody flowing and only use enough chords to support the harmonic framework. I have talked about this with (among others) Ralph Towner, Tommy Emmanuel, Pierre Bensusan and practically all of my former teachers: who are we playing for? If it hadn't been for love chords and lyrics. "until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes" sez it all. The melody was always out front and easily discernible even with the very tasty reharmonization.

I'm not sure where all the 'technically dazzling' stuff was. Chris you are becoming my favorite chord melody player. Would have been so great to learn what Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass and Trane would have to say about this.... BTW. This topic is important to me and has been with me for a very long time, been discussed many times and will not come to an end, I'm certain! I am a sucker for beautiful melodies and in my own interpretations I strive for a balance between (re)harmonized parts and a simple solo line, trying for a more vocal-like quality, aiming away from a more pianistic approach. Please don't get me wrong, I know that it's a fine line we're talking about here but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. Joe D. That was incredibly beautiful, and your tone is amazing! Very nice work Chris! Originally Posted by Chris Whiteman. On Chord Melody videos, the "58" pickups produce a good tone, is. You are really doing a good job Chris. It's all subjective I suppose, but honestly I would not have recognised Chris' performance from your description.

I have the utmost respect for master musicians like Mr. Whiteman. Hi Silverfoxx, Originally Posted by silverfoxx. Many times the arrangements are so elaborate that you can barely make out the melody.

Yes, it is my arrangement. Super Nice Chris, one of my favorite tunes! I couldn't agree more with the above post as well as the post by RobbieAG. Ok I think I understand you better now. Don't keep it for yourself or us... That is very kind, Thank you Mark. Originally Posted by joelf. Chris, I forgot to mention on my post on YouTube, that Borys sounds UNBELIEVEABLE. I really appreciate your talent/expertise in re-harmonizing the tune und your technique is very refined and polished BUT I would have enjoyed this beautiful and sad song much more if you hadn't put so much "stuff" /embellishments into your playing... IMHO it takes away from the emotional impact when the performer dazzels with too much technical wizzardry.

It's all subjective, so true. Help us to improve mTake our survey! Beg, steal, or borrow a way to put this out commercially---please.
