Listen "Danny Boy"
Episode Synopsis
Happy Saint Patrick's Day. Here's I am working on "Danny Boy," and talking about the history of the song via my friend Jacob Garchik. If you haven't seen the George Benson version, check that out here. The video gets pretty long as I go into explanations of how I get the guitar voicings from the Percy Grainger arrangement. That arrangement is attached, and I'd encourage you to make your own arrangements of this lovely melody, which can be instructive about how to harmonize a diatonic melody without getting too fancy.
