Pat Metheny is one of todays most succesful jazz artists, with many Grammy Awards and best-selling records to his name. His compositions with the Pat Metheny Band are in the Pop/Jazz-Fusion style and often feature elements of Latin American rhythms.
His beautiful song “James” – dedicated to James Taylor – is a great example of Metheny’s melodic style. Many chord inversions and syncopated rhythms make this a challening song to learn for the intermediate to advanced guitar player.
