A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE is a romantic British popular song written in 1939 with lyrics by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin. The song has since become a standard, recorded by everyone from Frank Sinatra and Anita O‘Day to Rod Stewart and Brian Setzer. This arrangement owes a debt to steel guitarist Mike Neer, whose arrangement is combined with my own ideas. Other influences include the Manhattan Transfer‘s lush vocal arrangment and the close- voiced chord melody style of jazz guitarist Johnny Smith.
C6/A7 is a compound tuning because the top 5 strings form a C6th chord while the bottom four strings form an A7th chord. We lose the possibility of 6-string strums, due to the dissonance of the C# string in the key of C and the C string, in the key of A. What we gain are powerful dominant seventh and diminished sounds in straight bar position on the bottom strings.
