This song IS accurate in the Hal Leonard "One Quiet Night" book. The only difference is that he extends the E section with different chords. So, the left hand shapes are correct, it's just that some notes are heard in different octaves because he is playing with Nashville tuning on a baritone guitar (clearly described at the beginning of the book). But playing it on a normal guitar still sounds good!!
Just saw his show last night where he played this song 20 years after this performance. I thought this video was just posted from his current tour ! Highly recommend his 2023 solo tour!
Pat wrote this about his sons when they were really young. They would be running all over the place, and so this song captures the chaos of chasing them around.
Very very good and lilting and grounded at the same time, odd changed picking chords in the middle to stretch the beauty of the chords coming up unbelievable!!! Pat has a strong arm and lives beautiful standing chords!!!!!
la igual que Pregunta y respuesta con Change of hearth si este CD hubiese tenido solo este tema esta justificado , lo demas ya es un exquisito regalo'¡¡¡¡¡Pat rasquea como nadie y maneja las intensidades de un modo increible.
@zammzammbamm1 1 second ago There is another version of this that is not live and is a studio version. The entire group is playing with him and Lyle Mays is playing the melody with the flutie synth sound. I played it over and over on youtube back in 2012 now i cant find it anywhere. Any Suggestions?
For those interested: This piece isn't as easy to cover as it sounds, since it is in a different guitar tuning (Nashville with variations, see the booklet of "One quite night"). Also, it's played with a different guitar (listen for the deep basstones). There's a songbook with TABS available.
@@MisterA1002 well there is lots of info about Pat's music on the web, amongst others a wikipedia article with details on the guitar. I doubt whether one can get this sound and those chords with a standard guitar. As for sheet music, somebody has said here that the songbook by HL is inacurate...so, transcribing will be your destiny....it is good practice, anyway ;-) btw the album is of course "One quiet night"...sorry for the typo.
it doesn't matter if it's easy and yes technically it's kind of playable, but musically it's a wow - it sounds just great, love it ... actually with the nashville tuning you get very interesting sound (a lot of extensions and sus etc) with only two fingers chords .. if you are a classical guitarist just try pat's chord with the leo brouwers 6th etude arrpeggio .. it's wonderful (but you need a baritone guitar with nashville tuning!)
In response to the 4 and 5 year old comments about transcriptions... The Hal Leonard version is not accurate. If one wishes for an accurate transcription and has a good ear, they'd be better off transcribing it themselves.
Why are you overreacting? We are not world leaders(that's when every word counts). I just noticed that Pat wears snicker more often than any other musician I know, that's all. And I live in US now too, and I intend to stay!
Well, how can you pass as definitive a judgment as that especially when it comes to something as subjective as esthetics and especially that "Song for the Boys" which I find particularly uninteresting. I'm rarely disappointed as far Metheny's compositions or choice of tunes but that one is just evidence that he can strum the guitar with great endurance. That's about it. Now, to come back to JMcLaughlin, he composed so many smashing tunes that I don't think you can say that. "No return", "The Fine Line", "Que Alegria" and many others are evidence he's just as great. Technically speaking, he's unbeatable, not even Pat can beat him. I think it's a question of mood. I have moods for a moment in the company of a Metheny tune, I have others for a JMcL one. It's not the same energy at all. And really, sometimes, I think Pat can fall into very sugary stuff that is sometimes unbearable. You can't accuse John of that. You can acuse him of having too much energy at the same time and lacking in melodic sense sometimes (and still that is rare if you listen carefully) but not of getting trapped in excessively weepy things. And why didn't you mention J.Scofield while you were at it? That's one more esthetic in the picture. So: "beats him by far"!! You must be kidding ! Say you're more sensitive to one, more than to another but why do you say so clearcut things especially starting from such a poor tune as "Song for the Boys". Poor Boys! Who are they? Soldiers? Pat's sons (if he has any)? I met John after one of his performances asking for an autograph on an album he had just released. I had a short conversation with what seemed to be the most simple and accessible man on this planet. 72 years of existence and still the same energy and flawless phrasing. Just reconsider your position for a while. And what about Bach's "esthetic? No, really, esthetic is not something you weigh like a sack of grain or you give a Nobel Prize for (especially not a Nobel prize!).
I'll search all comments of all versions of this progression, but in the meantime, can any of you either give me this chord progression in tab form or send me a link for same? I need tab form because my ear and theory skills are not great, but my strum hand is excellent and wants so much to feel this great great song. Thank you, PM!!
wow just wow love this and his complex music
One of my favorite pieces from him.

Best Guitar Player Ever.
They do different things. But...you're probably right.
And I'm clearly biased.
what an amazing piece of music.
Pat wrote this about his sons when they were really young. They would be running all over the place, and so this song captures the chaos of chasing them around.
Otra genialidad del maestro Pat Metheny.
I absolutely loved this song!
Very very good and lilting and grounded at the same time, odd changed picking chords in the middle to stretch the beauty of the chords coming up unbelievable!!! Pat has a strong arm and lives beautiful standing chords!!!!!
a true masterpiece from a true master.
Man I love this playing, hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
That chord progression🔥
inspirador, un genio de la guitarra...
That guitar needed a cigarette break after that tune. Puuuuh .... Damn - that’s intense playing.
Pat, es único. Magnífico en su interpretación y composición. Música con MAYÚSCULAS!!
That's great!!!
One of my favourites...
my favourite song of him!!!
pat, el mejor guitarrista en su genero
bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
Gives me frisson every time
love this
amazing
Nobody can touch Pat, not even close.
la igual que Pregunta y respuesta con Change of hearth si este CD hubiese tenido solo este tema esta justificado , lo demas ya es un exquisito regalo'¡¡¡¡¡Pat rasquea como nadie y maneja las intensidades de un modo increible.
Americana at its best.
some of this sounds like Johnny Marr on "Please Please Please..." -- that wonderful Smiths song.
Great work!

Hedges jams.
very expresive
@BiorythmicDrifter meee tooooo
Does it exist a score of this piece???

where can we find. . .it was said the guitar was in "A" tuning

Smth like that.
where can I see those speeches?

he plays a baritone guitar
Not often you see Pat fuck up...
To chart?(me laughing)

I think pat metheny beats John McLaughlin in aesthetic by far

+Pyriew Who's John McLaughlin? I rest my case.
+Gene Figueroa Well, just type John McLaughlin (the guitarist not the singer!) in UA-cam; you'll hear something... great.
All that to arrive at "it's subjective". Both of these men are masters. Enough said.
why are all so serious about this lol, hf
Why is he wearing snickers?-to show everybody that he's american?
Snickers used to be called "Marathon" here in the UK.
@@jezza73 I believe it.
What the hell are you smokin'?????????????????
Pat Metheny.... amazing guitarist, amazing song!

No idea :P
