Split Screen

The Arrangement

What a happy uplifting song!
The key is to get a good groove!
An alternating bass reminiscent of Chet Atkins was perfect for most of the song.
Alberto uses a tiny bit of percussion on the guitar to capture the original bass groove. Being an up-tempo tune, a few blues licks are added to give an electric guitar feel.
Harmonics are introduced in the chorus to replicate the background vocals of the Supremes.

Extract from the DVD "The music of Motown for the fingerstyle guitarist" 
TABS and Score
split screen slow play
very detailed explanation
A few words from Stefan Grossman
Alberto's arrangements are rooted in the style of the great Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel but also influenced by the 1950's big band sound. His arrangements of American and Italian classics, show the inventive harmonic movements from those great arrangers and composers of the times.
