Welcome to my 573rd solo guitar arrangement video on YouTube, "Could It Be Magic" by Barry Manilow. Check out my arrangement of Copacabana:    • Copacabana - Barry Manilow - Fingerstyle G...  

A couple of interesting notes about this arrangement: first, I committed a moderate “musical crime“, I abbreviated two instrumental passages in this arrangement, the introduction and the instrumental interlude in the middle of the song. While these were not difficult to play, I decided to abbreviate them because although they worked well in the original, they did not serve the guitar arrangement. They worked in the original because as instrumental passages, they served as a nice contrast to the lyrics. Also, Barry Manilow was a superstar and could, artistically, make the decision that the song could run eight minutes… The other note I wanted to make is about why I’m playing this song at all and why now. A long time ago, going back to the mid 2000s, I held a weekly gig at a terrific restaurant called Eve, The Restaurant for about 5 years. During this time I found there a very loyal following, headed by Tarek, Connie, Mark and a few other nuts (no last names, you know who you are!) who were simply crazy about the great songs of the 70s. Actually, I was really into jazz standards at that time, but because of these guys I added tons of 70s arrangements to my repertoire. In fact, it was Tarek who introduced me to the song “baby come back“ and by the time I started my YouTube channel in 2008, the channel was heavily tilted towards 70s music. Could It Be Magic was one of Tarek's favorites and I’m finally now getting around to posting an arrangement of it on YouTube. Tarek, Connie, Mark and the rest of you guys, wherever you are, this one is for you!
