On the positive side of that, you could say this actually helps with that whole "educational" aspect of them, for they reveal all the many chord changes & choices I made to suite each arrangement. p.s. I'm noticing now that all my previous posts & submissions to this place went into one thread by mistake, but I don't have the power to move them (in case some moderator spots this and can fix).

I had a lot of fun doing these, so I'm glad you liked them. That prelude was particularly tricky because I didn't use any BBox song as template (I haven't even checked if it's included), but opted to transcribe the chords by hand from sheet. And then jazzing those chords up went well beyond the automated way, as I'm sure people will notice by looking closer at those chords (I haven't used this many flat & sharp 5ths in my life!). Always such a treat & honour to receive acknowledgement from staff, thank you Last edited by Icelander; 09/16/16 10:35 AM.

I guess I'm a slow learner... Thanks for your kind words about my playing. You may enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Xmktu6af4 Last edited by lambada; 09/16/16 09:41 PM.

Thanks for your kind words about my playing. You may enjoy this.. Yes, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to mentioning my usage of BBox up front (outside this place, of course), mainly to avoid those pesky "but you didn't really do anything!" haters you'll particularly find on youtube. You're quite welcome to those "kind words", as you call it. They were earned and deserved! Ta back for this latest clip. Even if it hasn't anything to do with BBox then, as a member of a choir myself, I did indeed like it a lot - Cheers Last edited by Icelander; 09/19/16 05:04 AM.
