ExamplE EVA CASSIDY STYLE

-

[Bar 18]

Similar to bar 10, here is another chord that is coloured with an ‘extended’ note. in this case we are adding a 9th (F#) to our E minor chord, which adds both movement and harmonic interest. This sequence is influenced by Eva’s tendency to ‘thin out’ her playing

[Bar 25]

to create short melodic solos, really just fragments of notes before heading back into a verse.

Another example of how Eva would colour chords by moving bass lines rather than embellishi­ng the top line on the first or second strings.

[Bar 29]
