Nice arrangement, notation difficult to read
Review by Ben R. on 23 Oct 2024 review stating Die With A Smile - Piano/Vocal/Guitar
I like this arrangement of a very familiar (and often overplayed) tune. I found the notation hard to read, maybe others will be happier with it.
A lot of guitar music has one, two or three voices on the same staff varying between bars and guitar players are used to finding a line that is not fully notated - that is rests that would make each line add up to a full bar are often omitted and that's OK. This arrangement has mostly two voices, one usually on the beat and one usually off. A third voice joins in at times and the rests that would fill the bar and define the timing of the notes are generally absent. Instead it looks as though this version relies on the horizontal positioning of the notes to indicate when they should be played. Combined with the syncopation that made it for me a piece that was unusually difficult to sight read. YMMD.
