This week I decided to try my hand at Father and Son by Cat Stevens to practice what I already know, and to learn A minor 7. The chord chart I was reading off used B minor occasionally, however it seemed to be where D Major was used in other verses so I substituted D Major for B minor when it came up so I would be able to practice what was needed for KAME.
When I was practicing this song I realised that in the original there is a brief fingerstyle part that I never noticed, because it seems to be arpegiated chords. Since I am only one guitarist and I can’t play both parts at once I decided to briefly switch to the fingerstyle part when needed to practice my arpegios. It does mean there is a brief moment when the texture drastically thins out but I think in the spirit of staying true to the original it should be added into my arrangement.
