Ha, ha. Yeah I know what you mean and would not conflate voiceleading in the deliberate sense too much with the "accidental" that arises by just making standard positions on the guitar. However, analytically a movement of chords block can still be considered a continuation of the individual voices restricted to first species. At music school I often noted how the chord people and I thought differently of chords. To me it was still counterpoint derived from first species harmonizations, while they had their chord language in which the continuity of voices is not part of the chord definition. They could think harmonies more detached from each other than I, because I still considered them as part of the phases of the music, and not just "wow, this chord sound cool" as if it was unrelated to the voiceleading and timespan of the music.

On another note, it is easy to distinguish a chord driven guitar whose purpose may solely be to enhance the rhythm of the song from a voice led classical guitar. The chords become percussive in rock and the associations to led voices wane. My guitar player has some Francisco Tárrega on his repertoire, and this is a completely other world:

I used to play all that stuff. seems like this was part of my audition to CCM. Can't listen to most of it for long today. I got serious at classical lessons at 18 and got myself into several conservatories at 20, it was a brutal woodshed, over and over again such as w. this thing. Oddly I developed a good three finger tremolo rather readily. I was never going to be a Paco de Lucia at the single note runs all picked, or the same on electric with a pick. day late/dollar short
I played Tarrega Capricho Arabe for Ghiglia who was disgusted by the time I played. "FASTER! LOUDER!", a comedy routine (after my friend played Tarantella stupidly fast and not very thoughfully. good times). Ghiglia did not take the chromatic run at all fast on the record I heard.

I just wasn't going to become this quality of guitarist tbh. I developed other interests, so not a bfd

(just heard a bit of young Ghiglia playing for Segovia. and, no. sounded like any rookie. We didn't like that guy coming in.)

Tarrega is such a masterly guitar composer. I lay flat. Know thy level and learn is my motto in cases like him.

Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2v8v7r6PkI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53aDI5K49F4

The soundtracks are built mostly on drones and modes. The chords are implied by the notes that are happening at any given time, but especially in the bass.

There also tend to be a lot of use of chromatics, dissonant intervals, etc.

What I'm saying is you can't really examine it like a pop song.

question about resident evil 2 or 3 soundtracks
