if you have melody only you can take only chord changes from it, so you'd better listen to the recording of the song!

I'm not familiar with Norah Jones but I guess it's slow pop-rock mainly, so once you have the chord changes down you could create at least thee different kind of arrangments:

a) choose an eight notes patterns you could play. Assuming it's a slow number go with D/du/u/du
b) play it with a sixteen notes pattern (I guess it's more similar to the orginal recording since 95% of slow pop songs employs a sixteen notes) like dd/ddu/dd/ddu
c) play it with straight eight notes arpeggios patterns like pimi-pami


Matteo

p.s. of course once you have chosen a model there are several slightly different patterns you could play
p.s.2 if you want a complete arrengment for twop or three guitars choose a differnt model for each one (i.e. one guitar strums sixteen notes chords, another one plays arpeggios)]]> Guitar Players Discussion matteo https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-do-i-make-an-arrangement/#post-210542 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-do-i-make-an-arrangement/#post-210510 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 16:50:57 +0000
