      I wanted to get two tunes recorded this week, I gave Wonderful Tonight a quick run through and recorded the song in one take. I want to improve my ear/melody/timing skills. There are a couple rough spots but things are improving.

      Wonderful Tonight

        Wonderful Mike! ya, timing, phrasing, articulation…we all approach it differently, that’s the beauty of it (self expression).
        You’re obviously not relying on the actual transcription and that’s the goal. Once we actually learn the basic melody then it’s play-fun time.

        That’s why I always prefer a basic easy skeleton chart; easier to “fill in the blanks” so-to-speak. It will come out a bit different every time this way, depending on how we feel our mood etc. Well done.

                    I am not too sure if I am posting this in the right spot, so if I am walking on anyone’s thread I apologize.

                    Here is my attempt at “Wonderful Tonight”.
                    Johnny, thank you for the sheet music and inspiration!
