Dave!

Once again your music has really, really moved me. I think what I enjoy most about listening to your playing are the never ending plethora of interesting voicings that you play. There is a lot of use of space and during that space I mentally find myself anticipating what harmony is coming next, and it is always a pleasant surprise.

Really nice Dave, you are trully a very talented musician.

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Dan & Ben, appreciate it.

Here's a selection some more well known ones. Nothing fancy like the last one, this is more what I'd probably play like on a casual or a GB gig. It's one time through just to hear the vibe and changes.

Well done. That particular tune has always seemed to me a balance of "happy" and darker bits interleaved. Your arrangement does a great job of never straying too far from the darker side. Crowning touch is the rather ambiguous ending.

And the intro is great!

Thanks Steve and Brent, again very much appreciated.

I was told those other 3 tunes I posted were not opening. I had them set to *private* but I thought if I posted the url you could view them-maybe not. Try them now. Again these are nothing real elaborate, more like I'd play on a solo casual Xmas gig (like last night $$$ cool ) .

Let It Snow was such a nice arrangement Dave. Your voicings are always so well chosen and move so beautifully on your ballads.

Thanks Tim, David, JD and Custard.

Here's a leadsheet on my Oh Come All Ye- I hope my funky writing is readable. It's pretty basic. As with a lot of my stuff , the "sounds" or colors are in the voicings. But hopefully it can give someone a base to do their own thing with it.

I have that Cm7/F | % | Am7 | % | thing as a turnaround to the top. I also use it as a vamp at the end.

grin cool

After quite a few re-writes and edits on this, I'm sick of futzing with it. This will have to do at least for today.

My version of "We 3 Kings of Orient Are" or in my circles "We 3 Kinks can't tune a guitar" crazy Just kidding, I dig them, well at least a small bit of their stuff.
