Another work in progress... on the right track?

Really nice...so many musical ideas...beautiful.

Damn, this Greg guy is gettin’ good at this!!

Amazing arrangement!

You should do another book: Chapman stick transcriptions of popular songs. I’m not sure about the copyright hurdles

I was thinking Greg could offer single transcriptions for like $10 each. Then when he has a dozen or so, bind them all into a new book with maybe some additional performance notes/instruction.

Have no idea how royalties/copyright applies here. IANAL.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a great time making this video on song arrangement


and it would be simpler to do what you are suggesting. Lots of people don’t read music, and i cant stand conventional tab, so video is a good compromise. Any copyright issues are resolved by Youtube’s blanket licenses.

That was really nice, Greg. Before I listened to this I imagined how you might arrange it and I was not disappointed. With a simpler melody it seems like the challenge is to make it interesting over the full arrangement. You certainly did that and it made me want to listen to it again for more details. (Where are my headphones?)

An aside: I don't think I've ever seen a Stick that was fretless on the melody side. Do you have videos and/or recordings using it? I'm fascinated.

Thanks,

One of my favorite arrangements I've heard from you, had this in my regular rotation since you released the video. Congrats Greg, this is excellent!

Dear Greg.

I was waiting for you to play that melody with a truly legato open phrasing and you brought it in at the last verse and chorus. So amazing!

That in contrast to the dense stick orientation of the chordal stuff… Truly masterful.

Hope you’re doing well over there.
Lotsa luv.

Love it. You are brilliant.
