Best to everyone. I love you all. Don't hate me, I cry easily these days.


Hi Don,
that is the beauty of the arranger , anyone who wants to learn to play an arranger probably can, whether it be single finger or full chords.
Still boils down to how good a musician a person is though and knowing what works.
The style to use, the arrangement, the parts to leave out, etc. that’s the difference between the pro’s and and some of us mere mortals. Not sure it’s something one can learn, tend to think you either got it, or you ain’t. Still doesn’t stop the ain’t’s from having a whole lot of fun.

Don’t cry, we all love you too. Haha
