He basically just played the tune with some reharmonisation. Super Nice Chris, one of my favorite tunes! 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. I have the utmost respect for master musicians like Mr. Whiteman. Don't keep it for yourself or us... That is very kind, Thank you Mark. If it hadn't been for love chords & lyrics. The melody was always out front and easily discernible even with the very tasty reharmonization. But I love the way Chris does it, I make an exception for him! Originally Posted by joelf.

It's all subjective I suppose, but honestly I would not have recognised Chris' performance from your description. It's all subjective, so true. 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? 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. 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 only expressed my personal taste and thoughts about the subject, never meant to belittle the performance. On Chord Melody videos, the "58" pickups produce a good tone, is. Beg, steal, or borrow a way to put this out commercially---please. Ok I think I understand you better now. I have always found the Ibanez 58 pickups to sound very good. Yours a standard model or have you upgraded it at all? Is that your own arangement Chris? As far as I'm concerned, he captured the mood of the tune beautifully. If it hadn't been for love chords & lyrics. The chops are great and it is such a contrast to the burning bebop we aspired to ( I know you do that well too) but it is just so listenable to my ears.
Help us to improve mTake our survey! Doesn't happen that often. 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. Chris you are becoming my favorite chord melody player. I couldn't agree more with the above post as well as the post by RobbieAG. 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. Your Borys guitar sounds and looks wonderful. Hi Silverfoxx, Originally Posted by silverfoxx. It impressed me, yeah---but, moreover, it moved me. I'm not sure where all the 'technically dazzling' stuff was. Many times the arrangements are so elaborate that you can barely make out the melody. That is beautiful, together, mature playing in every sense. For many years, but also use others, you frequently employ a AF200.
Very nice work Chris! I understand you offer Skype lessons? I agree that the Borys sounds terrific. I have been a Gibson fanboy.
