Guitar Lesson 23: Arranging songs - Purple Rain, Times Like These and Message in a Bottle

Summary: Website: https://tunein-toneup.com/ Post: https://tunein-toneup.com/2017/11/11/guitar-lesson-23-arranging-songs-prince-foo-police/ In guitar lesson 23, I ask Dan to give me some pointers on how to arrange songs for a three piece band, with a particular focus on some tunes I want to play with some friends. First, Dan shows me some ideas for Times Like These by the Foo Fighters to increase the interest in the rhythm playing so that it works well with the melody. He also gives me some thoughts about dynamics and harmonising the chorus. Next we look at Message in Bottle and how to augment the famous riff with a second guitar part. Finally, Dan takes me through his arrangement of Purple Rain which has some chimey chords and licks. We finish with the solo.
