Jina is spot on!
Arranging takes a diff approach if low or high G. Neither is more difficult, but one is usually the better choice to arrange on, depending on the tune. For example, Moonlight Sonata needs the bass movement heard on the piano. So Low G was the obvious choice.
I’d recommend one of each. We hit low G lesson content hard this year and have 18 arrangements out atm.
@lisadmh – You are pulling the strings down. Try to form the chord so the strings remain as straight as possible. I would remove the phrasing and just practice the chord change with the above as your goal.
@nthibode – And I thought you were sittin in the dark outside LOL

@anirbaf – Can you post a video playing just that part? I’ll be better able to help if I can see/hear what you are doing.
deadbuggy – Great job, Sara! So I think you have a good base established, but with this song you really want to work on getting every note correct. I spent a lot of time with this arrangement on note selection, specifically the B melodies.
There is movement in the bass (which I talked about in the lesson), and this movement is intertwined between the harmony; which helps to make this a very cool sounding tune. Now a lot of times, arrangements have a “filler” harmony, and therefore you are free to switch up picking patterns, etc. But IMO, it does not work for this song.
nthibode – Bravo, brilliant!
robinboyd – Great job! Here is my feedback for you 🙂
Welcome, slij02! Thanks for the kind words! I’m always around if you need help or have ?’s on the lessons 🙂
@robinboyd – AJ and I played the Fm6 (1) as a 4 finger chord instead of barred. I copied him, as that felt way easier going into bar 8. You can do what you are doing, but his way was easier IMO.
I would use picado for doubled notes on string 3, 2, 1 and stick to using the thumb for string 4. But that fits my playing style. Which is not what Matt does. So I’d recommend trying both and pick the one that feels best to you.
