Location: SoCal | I'm looking for a really good arrangement for Greensleeves for classical guitar. I've got to play it in church with the bells and there's a call for a solo. I've found the basic tab arrangements but was hoping to find something a bit more fun and interesting. Anybody have anything? |

Location: NJ | I've got a couple Christmas books at home but their predominantly piano arrangements.
I seem to remember AcousticGuitar offering a tabbed arrangement in an issue about a year or two ago, when I get a chance, I'll check at home (y'might wanna research their archives online).
Y'can also check OLGA under the author's name (HenryVIII), but I doubt they'd have much. He was overtly prolific . . . |

Location: SoCal | Thanks. Everything I've found is just the easy traditional tab. Not too exciting for playing in public..... I was hoping to find something better.... |

It takes some time, and probalby some transcription of key, but if you have tab software on your computer you can note everything down as you go. I'm working on something like this for "America the Beautiful."

It'd be better (for everyone concerned) if Moody'd just pay the airfare for Templeman t'come out and play it (tho' I seriously doubt he would) . . . |

Location: SoCal | I'm probably just going to go thru the arrangements bar by bar and do something better. It's just that I'm about the most unimaginative guitar players I know.... I can copy, I can learn, but making it up... well, we'll see. |

...one warning, though Paul, the arrangement that I found might force you to learn the dreaded, mythical 4th chord... so proceed with caution! |
