| Session 4: “Tennessee Waltz,” Part 1: Melody |
For the fourth episode of “The Song, According to Matt Munisteri,” Matt works with the immensely popular song “Tennessee Waltz”, a song that has had its form shaped by countless artists. Matt says, “After we learn a universal template of the tune, we’ll work on ways of phrasing the melody, so that your instrument can become the singer. In the process we’ll identify and learn to exploit all those elastic ‘in between notes’ and then harmonize our variations appropriately. Matt talks about different ways to phrase the basic melody in this video.
