Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

A little late to request a lesson- but this song (Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, others) sets up nicely for a finger style arrangement in. G. I started working on it myself, but ran into problems w the bridge (some jazz chords). I found this nice rendition on YouTube. https://youtu.be/Xx0NhLkCJVU?si=8...

And So It Goes

Tommy Emmanuel does a great solo guitar arrangement of one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Pat Metheny And I Love Her arrangement

Neil- your arrangement is great. This arrangement has a jazzier feel, in Gm rather than Em.

Neil- for your consideration… a great 60’s pop song!

Re: Guitar Geography: Intervals Webinar - Post Your Questions!

Neil- In playing triads up the neck, are there different “feels” with first inversion and second inversions? Do they stress the third or the fifth differently and does that matter? Or is it more about finding places for the melody or bass line? Is it the same with major and minor triads?

Another plea… a great great tune by an acoustic guitar legend.

Milk Carton Kids

Fantastic duo. Vocal blend reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel. This is an old video, but gets the point across. Their new album is outstanding

A beautiful song, many versions. This version from the Doc Watson at 100 album is terrific. https://music.apple.com/us/album/albert ... 1683938616
I first fell in love w the song 50 years ago when The Blues Project recorded it.
