ARRANGING SONGS - HOW TO PUT THE PARTS TOGETHER
by Rikky Rooksby
-
Book/CD pack. The last book in Rikky Rooksby's excellent series on songwriting. Arranging a song means choosing the right instruments and knowing how to combine them. An inspired arrangement is inseparable from the song itself and becomes a part of how listeners remember it. Here you'll get practical hints and tips on arranging everything from a single acoustic guitar to a full band, exploring arranging essentials such as grouping instruments effectively, using multi-track recording, artfully layering parts, achieving a good mix, more. Sections cover arranging songs with: acoustic and electric guitar, guitar effects, the 'core' instruments - keyboards, bass and drums, secondary instruments including strings, brass, woodwinds, harmonica, and more. Rikky references a huge number of classic (60s and 70s) recordings throughout the book. The 50-track CD illustrates many of the techniques presented in the book. Recommended! 191 pp.
