Hi Everyone!

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine is one of the quintessential songs from Berry Gordy’s Motown movement, as well as one of its biggest hits. It has been recorded by numerous artists but the Marvin Gaye version is clearly the standard by which all others are measured.

For the first three parts of this lesson, we look how I would accompany a singer. The guitar needs to combine the bass, keyboard , and percussive parts, as well as fill in the background vocal vamp at the end of the chorus. We even throw in a short interlude, trying to imitate the string section before the third verse.

Enjoy the introduction parts to this level 6 song! More parts will be released later.

Neil,

You plucked the grapes and are turning them into a full red wine....

Can't wait to open the bottle when ready :-)

Cheers

Please do the 'killer instrumental' you have in mind, I bet it would be one of the most popular tunes on the site. Love the accompaniment version so far though.
