  • While the original recording was heavy on weeping guitars and 12 string accompaniment, and of course The Electric Light Orchestra, a real orchestra with a full string section, my version is stripped to the basic chords (and I even cheated a little on that). For me, at least, simple is best.

    Inspired to attempt this by a recent cover by Reina Del Cid and Toni Lindgren (et al) who did it much better than this, being way more skilled and talented. But I have been pleased with the reception with my much simpler arrangement. Thanks, everyone who has listened.

    • @robinleebraun7739
      @robinleebraun7739  Před rokem +1

      Thanks. I’m always looking for songs that can be simplified for one guitar but still have the basic song. ELO songs have a lot of production and orchestration but they really don’t have to. I have heard Jeff Lynne do them on just his Gibson acoustic.

    • @robinleebraun7739
      @robinleebraun7739  Před 2 lety +1

      No idea. What’s a picking pattern? I’m only kidding a little. I start with the chords, maybe strumming, then try to pick out a few of the bass notes, then just what feels right, until I can get through the song without screwing up. Maybe a few tweaks. I keep it very simple. After all, I’m not a Jeff Lynne
