3 important things lang lagi ang nasa isip para maging simple at mabilis ang pag-arrange. Eto po sila :
1. RHYTHM - ako kasi ay medyo meticulous sa rhythm kaya I don't leave a blank sa playing ko. If I do, I put a dramatic vibrato on a note or a solemn pause on a chord. In other words, wala dapat masyadong butas ang playing especially sa background or accompaniment. Sabi nga nila, mas continuous ang flow, mas magandang pakinggan.
2. MELODY - as much as possible ay number one lagi ang melody for consideration. I will try to keep the notes singing (or sustaining) while I can. But sometimes, I need to adjust some notes kasi nawawala na yung pagka-gitara ng gitara. In other words, I'm trying to imitate a human voice pero meron pa ring mga limitations. Para maging tunog na someone is singing, I substitute some techniques like slides, vibratos and harmonics.
3. HARMONY - Eto ang challenge lagi. But to be simple, two types lang naman ang nasa isip ko - a major chord and a minor chord. I don't invite everybody (the whole triad) to be on the boat kasi lulubog ang melody. Also, ang chord ay puedeng two-note combination lang. So, I minimize the weight of my chord para mas aangat ang melody. I usually use single lines din sa accompaniment but it should feed the rhythmic flow.
