Harmonic Portrait - Charlie Chaplin (Smile)
Get the Study (chord diagrams with clearly labeled soprano notes video/audio) here:
In this chordal study series I seek to depict and illustrate the magical character of some of my favorite musicians expressed through my own harmonic brush just like an artist painting a portrait.
This episode is dedicated to the greatness of one of the world’s most renowned comedians and actors (and who also composed one of the sweetest songs ever - “Smile”) - Charlie Chaplin.
This is my take on his brilliant composition - “Smile.”
