Hi everyone,


Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live, Ice Cream by Sarah McLachlan.


Sarah McLachlan is a Canadian singer-songwriter, known for her emotional ballads and mezzo-soprano vocal range.


Ice Cream is taken from her 3rd 1993 studio album ‘Fumbling Towards Ecstasy’, which became her international
breakthrough. Up until that point she stated that it is her ‘one and only love song, that doesn’t have a bad ending’.


In this lesson we take a look at how she performs it on stage. It covers the chords and the tuning, EADGAD, where
the guitar is capoed on the 4th fret.


Since the alternate tuning results in very colorful chords, we also discuss the chord names and their construction.


The progression and arrangement are relatively easy, with a few little embellishments and taught in 3/4 with swing
feel, even though Sarah counts it out in 6/8.


Enjoy this level 4 song!

ZOMG, Ness! Love this song!

Sarah, Bonnie and Melissa are some of my "you go, grrl!" heroes.

With some judicious transposition I might be able to work with this. :silly:

Thanks for another gem.

TGNessa,

You KNOW how much I love Sarah's songs and how much I LOVE this song in particular. Fantastic that it's now in the TG library. It definitely deserves to be.

I've seen Sarah in concert a few times and she still says that this is her happy love song.

I had a version of this down at one point as you know, (since you enabled me get that one together too), but it looks like you're teaching even more details in this one. AWESOME!

Guess what I'll be doing this weekend.

LOVE your work Ness. Off to learn.



Shel

Brilliant lesson Ness. I've just listened to every morsel. I love all of the info on the embellishments and the attention you pay to the interlude in particular.

Thank you, thank you.

Woo hoo!
