Last night wrapped up the Late Winter 2025 session of Guitar Crew. The Crew was made up of five guitar players with experiences ranging from less than a year to many years.
We finished by recording our own arrangement of Bob Wills’ Faded Love. This is a recording of the five members of this sessions’ Crew. I’m accompanying on percussion.
We covered many skills and concepts this session. Some of those topics, which you can hear in this arrangement, were:
- Basic chords changes
- Learning songs by ear
- The hows and whys of playing songs in different keys
- Knowing our roots and 5ths of each chord and using that to play alternating bass strums
- Working with the major scale and using that to create bass walks in between chord changes
- Singing and playing at the same time.
- Playing the chord changes in different locations on the guitar, either with “mini shapes” or using a capo.
- Ensemble playing (play strong and also make room for the other musicians)
- Playing a melody and improvising over chord changes
