Pharrell Williams Happy (Kris Petersen cover)

Official Site: http://krispetersenmusic.com

It was so cheery that I had to play it! Pharrell Williams Happy reminded me of a classic Motown track. I had all the elements there and it’s such an addictive song.

So when I sat down to do my version as an acoustic cover, I decided to take all the little bits of chordal information thats spread across the keys and vocals in the original, and apply it to the guitar. With a little bit more work, i ended up with a cross between Latin Jazz and new age type jazz version of the song.

This was heaps of fun to pull together, please let me know what you think and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!!!

I’ll have the usual Picked to Pieces up on THE LICK FACTORY ‘s youTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/thelickfactory) in a couple of days. In this ‘show’ I talk through all the parts, my thought process on the arrangement and a whole bunch of other stuff that appeals to the guitar nerd in us all!

While your there, check out my new segment, the TIP OF THE WEEK. These are quick pointers that will work for guitar players of all levels. Handy things that I’ve taught countless students or things that i’ve picked up while touring, all of which not only make you a better guitar player, but a better entertainer!
