  • "This was a huge hit in the late 60's. One day i started playing around with it and while under the hood of the tune I found myself marveling at all the interesting moves that happen with the chords, especially on the bridge. And I used the same whole step modulation for the final A section of the song that was on the record, although I added a tag that is really not exactly derived from any obvious single point in the tune". - Pat Metheny

      Tragic.
      Life is full of sorrow.
      Remorse.
      Beauty.
      Pain and happiness.
      In the end,
      our whole existence is forgotten for most of us.
      Let us hope we all meet again in a wonderful place with music as magical as this.
      I'm sorry for your loss my dear.

    Pat, I'm so glad that you cover these classic pop tunes and do so with such admiration for the musicality of the originals. Some of the best melodies came from the 60's and 70's and it is refreshing to see how many younger listeners are finally acknowledging these treasures. Your instinct for progressions and haunting bass additions is so spot on. Honestly I missed most of your early career, but I am quickly becoming a new fan in this current age. Hoorah for TH-cam for leading me to your music.

    Pat's language reminds me that ordinary and special can be the same.. and beautiful as they are.

    • @michaelpark5681
      @michaelpark5681 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alvart Apoyan Incorrect. If the two can be the same there would be no need to distinguish the two by two different words. The very definition of the word special implies out of the ordinary. The same is true with mere mortals trying to be Pat Metheny. They can never be the same.

    • @vartush
      @vartush 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      An ordinary mood for me can feel special since so much is so 'extra' ordinary now. The same way a song that is aiming to be special and/or different can sometimes evoke an 'ordinary' overdone feeling (in me anyway). It makes sense to me, but I understand what you mean.

    The master of solo acoustic guitar renditions of popular songs. Pat has this ability to let us see the real beauty and richness of these seemingly trivial tunes. His arrangements for The Beatles' And I Love Her and Norah Jones' I Don't Know Why are also good examples.

    Also on this album- "What's it. all About", Metheny covers Carly Simon's "That's the way I've always heard it should be". It will tear at your heart.

  • @Classic.Hits-335.artists
    @Classic.Hits-335.artists ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I don't think of Pat Metheny as a guitarist. He does not depend on the guitar - it's idiosyncracies and convenient patterns and configurations - to play and express his creative ideas. Instead he transcends the instrument. He is more than a jazz guitarist. He is a complete musician in every way... and a kind hearted and humble man as well. The same can be said of Lyle, whose passing still brings me sadness with gratitude for all he left us.

    Pat, I like your music since the '80, and you impressed me all the time. You help people to appreciate good things of life. For me music is really important. I'm a father and a grand-father and last summer I played that piece on my phone and my 2 year grand-son started moving delicately to the sound of the music. Life is beautiful when those moments occurs. Pat a lot of those moment happens when i'm listening to your music. It goes strait to my heart. Thank you so much.

    One of the truly most underrated guitarists in the popular scheme of things.... but since the general folk seem to go after slosh; I am glad that he is a refreshing secret for those that seek true depth of music from the expression of the soul. It is as if the lyrics came through in this instrumental. Thank you, Pat, for taking all the time you do to bypass the well known "scrap container" (in the popular realm) and giving us meaning through your soul and your instrument!

    You need not see what someone is doing
    to know if it is his vocation,
    you have only to watch his eyes:
    a cook mixing a sauce, a surgeon
    making a primary incision,
    a clerk completing a bill of lading,
    wear the same rapt expression,
    forgetting themselves in a function.
    How beautiful it is,
    that eye-on-the-object look.
