Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
*Autumn Leaves*is a standard that was written in the 1940s, with English lyrics added a bit later by Johnny Mercer. This lesson looks at the way Eva Cassidy arranged it for solo guitar to accompany her voice. She had a great talent for simplifying chord progressions and adding extra notes to basic chords, creating brilliant backgrounds for her amazing voice.
Enjoy this Level 5 Target lesson.

Scott, I had the same experience first time I heard her voice about 10 years ago... what an impact!
Autumn leaves is such a beautiful song and I'd love to play it but... man it is so melancholic, I'm not sure I'll get through it! May needs lots of chocolate to recover.
Another magical lesson from our favourite teacher.

I know I will be able to play this, its the singing which is the challenge. I tried singing through with Neil's playing last night and I was in tears within 20 seconds. There are tears welling up my eyes now just thinking about it. What is it about Eva's voice that has such impact? Neuro-scientists can argue as much as they want about consciousness being the sum total of our mind's functionings but I'd offer this song sung by Eva as evidence that there is something much greater hear (uh, that's a Freudian slip if ever I have worn one!!) that we can begin to explain.
If I do that I won't get past the first phrase!neverfoundthetime wrote:I've played it at least a couple of hundred times, and it still moves me.
