Note: For the next example, Pat's guitar on the original recording is tuned down a half step. The notation, tablature, and chord symbols reflect what Pat is playing, but everything on the recording sounds a half step lower (in Eb minor). Pat Metheny 2) chord phrase "Lonely Woman" melody statement
Half time ballad feel
