Product Description

THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL - Great concert piece for 4 GUITARS or larger ensemble
Primarily for Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar only.

Derek Hasted writes "This is a concert crowd-pleaser perfect for intermediate or advanced intermediate guitarists!

One reason ABBA songs are so memorable isnt the strong melody line, its all the other clever harmonies and countermelodies that lurk just under the surface to make a crafted masterpiece.

My arrangement uses guitar-friendly shapes to capture the whole song and many of the countermelodies that make the original such a great listen.

The dynamics on the score tie in with the orchestration, so that the quiet sections are slow-moving and the louder sections are busy, adding yet more notes before the previous ones fade away. Ive added just a little fingering here and there if theres really only one place on the neck to play whats on the page. Elsewhere, please choose the sweet spot that gives you, the player, the best mix of tone, sustain, playability and confidence.

I hope you enjoy performing this as much as the audience will enjoy hearing it!"
