GUEST,KP	when does harmony actually matter? (15)	RE: when does harmony actually matter?	19 Mar 09
Jack, you asked 'What examples can anyone come up with where the harmonization is the distinctive and important feature of a particular arrangement of a folk tune - a particular harmonic effect that absolutely anyone would notice, and which made all the difference to how popular it became? How common are such examples?' I think the main one that springs to mind is this: House of the Rising Sun (Leadbelly) compared to this: The Animals Having said that, you are probably correct that most of the intricate sus4 chords etc we guitarists put in are largely for our own satisfaction... cheers KP
