A Beautiful, Romantic Ballad | My Fingerstyle Arrangement of 'The Look Of Love' | Jazz Guitar Cover

In this video, I play the classic slow ballad ‘The Look of Love’ which is an amazing love song. I play my jazz fingerstyle arrangement in the key of C#min. It also includes some reharmonizations. It’s a brilliantly written song in a minor key modulating to the relative major key for the chorus. The Burt Bacharach/Hal David pop tune was originally recorded by Dusty Springfield as part of the original soundtrack of the 1967 James Bond film Casino Royale. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008. Let me know how you like my arrangement! Leave me a comment and thanks for watching!

He feels education is a continuing process, there’s always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.

Rich wrote three books for a major publisher Dale Zdenek/ Belwin Mills/Columbia providing him the opportunity to work with other great artists/authors like Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, and Ted Greene. After teaching at GIT/Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, CA, for three years he developed and published his own home study guitar school type curriculum available on his website www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com which has helped over ten thousand students improve their playing.

Rich has won honorable mentions and awards in songwriting and served as president of the Ventura County Producers and Songwriters Guild. Touring for three years with “Dick Clark’s Good Old Rock and Roll Show” he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.

After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios; as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet. At home in his studio, he is continually producing new lessons for YouTube and www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com.
