The Songs of Danny Galway (2013)
(McAloon)
Interesting chords and voicings, open chords and complex textures. Here's
my reading of this beautiful song.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS
There are different ways of playing this chord I call ââ?¬Å?Fsus2/Aââ?¬Â?. I think I
hear different voicings in verse and chorus (as pointed out below). But it
is of course not necessary to play these variations, I just think it sounds
nice. You may as well just take the first voicing and use it throughout the
song. One can even use it to substitute the ââ?¬Å?Fmaj7(add9)ââ?¬Â? in the chorus.
They're all really close.
