Last Train Home was the song that hooked me into his genius. I had tried a few times to come up with a solo arrangement but completely struck out every time.<br \/>\nSomehow, last Friday the light bulb went on when I tried it in the key of A, and all the parts started taking shape into something I could play. More importantly,<strong> I felt I could capture the essence of the song<\/strong>, particularly the driving rhythm (that would be one of the sounds of the train), and then pull out the scattered melody notes.<br \/>\nLike James, this has a ways to go but I wanted to share it with the TG Community as another rough draft.\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":4688,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2523],"tags":[2612,2613,2614,1325,2615,2616,1310,2617,2618,29],"class_list":["post-2708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-neil-hogan-acoustic","tag-acoustic-solo","tag-driving-guitar-rhythm","tag-guitar-melodies","tag-last-train-home","tag-melody-notes","tag-next-level-guitar","tag-pat-metheny","tag-rhythm-guitar","tag-solo-guitar-arrangements","tag-totally-guitars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
