Week 3 - New Arrangement for "When A Man Loves A Woman"

Hi y'all -

Here is the revised arrangement for playing "When A Man Loves A Woman" in class.

1. First 8 bars: Ignore repeat.
2. Second 8 bars: Ignore repeat and 1st ending, take 2nd ending to the bridge
3. Play bridge, take the D.S. to the beginning
4. On the D.S. play the repeat, and take the Coda on the second time through the repeat - in other words, jump from the 4th bar on the repeat to the Coda (3rd measure from the end.)

Be prepared to play this song in class with the track - that means use a metronome for practicing so you can stay with the track. I can change it to any tempo that works for you, so have an idea of what tempo you can comfortably play.

Advanced players - think about using chords in the left hand and melody or improvisation in the right - melody in octaves works well for this style.

Remember - bring me your practice log to sign at the beginning of the class!

See you Wednesday :-)
