Monkey & Bear
2 years ago
This is my arrangement of Joanna Newsom's epic 'Monkey & Bear'. It's a bit sparse, but I can't play the harp. Or the orchestra. The guitar part is fairly basic; essentially a combination of the vocal melody with the root note of the chord implied by Joanna's harp, although I did try to get some fills with lots of 2nds in there to give it a more 'harp like' feel. I'd be really interested to hear anyone else's arrangement of this, or any other Newsom tune, so if you've got one get in touch! Hope you like.

Mike Somerset 2 years agoThis is so good. I love the way you sing it (and play it of course) I think you should do more. loads more. If you need a hand filming/recording etc let me know. Nice one mate. -
