Nancy Wilson demonstrates LoveAlive and open chords

[@Katerina9256]

Roger Fisher's demonstration of this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH7Sk4xrgrFniq8si=Vl90NdFLfUDImu1i

[@tunemeister99]

Nancy mastered the open chords due to her sharp ears for music. How she incorporated these techniques in her songwriting is quite extra ordinary for a guitarist. She has the knack for romantic melodies and reveal her virtuosity in the instrument. Love Alive is one of my favorite she performed on acoustic guitar. Very lovely but mysterious. Very creative that enriches the listener. Nancy is one helluva talent. I love her guitar playing style using open chords that is magical to the listener.

[@Katerina9256]

Exactly, well said!

[@Stonecrow25]

Is it open tuning? D dadgad?

[@BarryFence]

@@Stonecrow25 In the video she says that it is standard tuning.

[@LarryCook1960]

“Sort of a scale thing”...artist triumphs over technicians every time. Genius. ✊☕️🎩🎩🎩

[@akitosorogoma2552]

if you think Nancy Wilson isnt a technician, you are a fool. She was and is one of the best accoustic guitarists of all time, and has the skill and training to back it up. dont lump her in with yourself as an idiot savant because you cant read sheet music. Nancy Wilson is absolutely a technician, she just uses common language to portray what she already knows by heart, pun intended.

[@loucastro9378]

She may be calling it “a scale thing” because the harmonized run changes keys? The low run goes E D C B A while the high harmony run goes G F# E D C#. It’s two scales, one scale into another. It starts in A minor (implying the A Dorian mode) scale and then lands on A7 (implying the A Mixoliydian mode). She is mixing C (b3) and C# (Major 3) in the same move. It’s Rock ‘n’ Roll in A. It just sounds so good. It’s brilliant. Just that lick alone. Nancy keep your licks alive. Thank you. 🎶💜🎶

Actually Roger Fisher would be the master riff writer on this song, Nancy played the complimentary part with those harmonics she showed. Master musician in her own right though of course!

[@jimalice1]

She's soo good. Why didn't Takamine put dots on the fretboard of that model, whatever model it is?

[@Katerina9256]

Because it's in their professional series...I believe it's a P3 model. There are dots on the side/top of the neck, presumably because a pro would mostly be standing up performing, and not constantly looking at the front of the neck. So, they don't need no stinking dots😄

[@jimalice1]

@@Katerina9256 Since I'm pretty much a beginner/intermediate, when I'm trying to learn a song, the dots help. I agree that a professional doesn't need them, but it's pretty rare on any guitar model where there aren't dots or some other design on the fretboard.

[@Katerina9256]

@@jimalice1 I hear ya. I have a lower-end g series model that looks just like hers but has the dots. Plays pretty sweet too, I love it! Also hers has a split bridge . There is some advantage to that but at the moment I can't remember what it is😄

[@brianruyack7632]

@@Katerina9256 I think it helps with intonation since the bridge is not adjustable like electrics are.

[@Katerina9256]

I believe Roger came up with the main riffs here but obviously Nancy added her usual genius and melodic accompaniment. They are both incredible musicians ❤️

[@VonterVoman]

@@Katerina9256 Roger says Nancy composed the intro. Ann said back then that she just wrote the lyrics to "an acoustic guitar solo Nancy had" (and the "Too Long a Time" demo did have vastly different lyrics). Nancy actually says it was an "ongoing jam" she and Roger played together so they probably were feeding off from each other.

[@Katerina9256]

@Vonter Voman interesting ...where does Roger say that Nancy composed the intro? Because if you look at any live performances of this you can see that he plays the main riff always. Nancy adds the harmonics and other notes but does not play that opening riff. Seems to me if she wrote it that she would be playing it and he would be adding the harmonics etc. Anyway I'm looking to see if I can find further details. Thanks for your comment! 😊 ~~Katerina

[@VonterVoman]

@@Katerina9256 Under the comments on his Crazy On You interview, somebody asked him who wrote the intro to Love Alive and he said Nancy composed it Screenshot: i. ibb. co/y0kkKVS/Image.jpg I guess they just wanted the melody to be played on the electric guitar, sounds closer to a sitar sound which I think was the idea

[@VonterVoman]

@@Katerina9256 I think maybe my previous comment is not showing up due to a screenshot link. Anyway, someone by the username Zard Sketter in the comments of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZiZqqWimdeYe5Y asked Roger who wrote the intro to Love Alive and Roger responded that Nancy wrote it.
