Emile Champion - Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground - Willie Nelson - cover - 8/13/19
I first heard this song yesterday, as a cover on YouTube... I don’t have Willie’s iconic voice, or guitar picking talent, and the tempo is a bit different, but hope you enjoy it... thanks for listening...
Uploaded 4 months ago
How long have you been playing?
I took guitar lessons for about six months, in 1965, when I was 12 years old.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
Chicago, in 1972, in Kingsville, Texas. It was the original seven, prior to Terry Kaths death. It was in a very large venue, but no seating. Everyone stood. Girls on the shoulders of the guys they were with. No other band... just Chicago. Great concert!
What gear do you use?
Martin 12-string and 6-string acoustic electric guitars. I prefer the 12-string... slightly.
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
To enjoy the music of others, pick up new ideas for cover songs, that would fit my style and abilities.
To share my acoustic recordings.
To share my acoustic recordings.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
James Taylor, Jim Croce... Glen Campbell... later on, Dan Fogelberg... solo guitarists, singers, songwriters... storytellers...
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
No, I play guitar in our church Service, and lead Worship music in our Spanish Service. I teach guitar, as a sort of informal Guitar Ministry to anyone who wants to learn.
I enjoy what I call my Acoustic Afternoons... or Evenings, recording cover songs, and sharing them here, on Facebook, and YouTube.

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Does Church every Sunday count? .
About 400 each week.
About 25 or so, for the Spanish Service.
Though, we obviously don't consider it a performance.

First of two new songs tonight... but an old one... but, new to me, when it popped up on my Facebook newsfeed yesterday... I think it was on a page, where music takes you back in time... in this case, back to 1964... pretty song...

I played the chords that I wrote in with a black Sharpie,,, converted from “C” to “G”, went to capo 1, to fit my voice, and rather than converting “F” to “C”, I took it to Am7... a personal preference thing.... hope you enjoy it... thanks for listening... have a Blessed Week, my friends...

Hi John Corsaro!! I don’t really know how YouTube works, but I opened it a few minutes ago... simply clicked to open it... did nothing else... and this is what was on my screen... very cool, my friend... just thought you’d like to know.

I’m not playing the chords on this sheet... not sure of the Key, but I converted what I figure was the Key of C, to G... though I really prefer Am7 to C, wherever possible... so, where the chord sheet shows an F, I converted to Am7, rather than C.
Don’t know if this is musically correct, but it fits my ear pretty well, and hope you enjoy my effort on this Classic song. Thanks for listening, and for your encouragement! Emile

Hi, one song today... this was a request from a friend...
I wasn’t familiar with it... really don’t know Sting’s music... I know, I know... have I been living under a rock all these years?...
I changed a few things from what I found online... mainly, at the end of each verse "...the fields of gold"... the chord I found at the end of the phrase was pretty low, for my voice... partly because I was going low on the chord right in front of it... I could hit it, but wasn’t pleased with it...
So, I made a conscious effort to go up on the "D", and changed the "G" to an "Am7".... took it up just a little...
hope you enjoy it... thanks for listening....

Hi, Here is my cleaned up chord sheet, for “Goodbye Girl”. Please keep in mind that I’ve set it up, to match the way I covered it here on Fandalism.
I pull chord sheets from the internet, and typically have to tweak it a little, to fit my guitar capabilities... I’m unable play barre chords, due to a bent left arm, so I capo a lot, for that reason, and to fit my voice.
I also frequently pass on an intro, and will use single strums to get into the song, and my closing may be different.
I really like Minor 7th chords, so almost always convert “C Major” and Am to Am7... almost always will convert Em to Em7... will sometimes string together a series of Em to Em7 to Em....
I try to stay close to the sound of the song I’m covering, but it depends upon the chords I’m able to play, the key that fits my voice, the “story or message”, and how I want to express it.... so, I hope you find it helpful, for songs that you like...
I have a stack of chord sheets, about an inch thick, and am working my way through it, to clean them up...
Within reason, since I’m not retired, I can email them to you.... ouch... did I just offer that?... yeah, I guess I did...

I apologize for the extra messiness of this chord sheet. I normally re-type the chord sheets that I find online, to change, increase, and bold the font size, so I can read it more easily, especially in the relatively weak light, where I record these songs.
I haven’t typed this one yet, and made a lot of notes on it. I’ll get it done, and re-post a new photo. Thanks! Emile
