“My basic mantra when working up an arrangement, applying fingers to strings and frets, is ‘revoice, revoice, revoice.’ I will trial-and-error several versions of a phrase in search of resonance, playability, and emotional conviction.”
“This approach is more of a game of subtraction, rather than construction. Instead of building up my arrangement from my own transcription of the top, bottom, and middle, I have to reduce the abundance of elements in the music to the smallness of the guitar while preserving the essence of the piece.”
