Product Description

BEN (MICHAEL JACKSON) - GUITAR DUET
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.

Derek Hasted writes "If there was one piece of music that showed the true extent of Michael Jacksons musical prowess, it would surely be "Ben", sung faultlessly and with great maturity at such a tender age.

My arrangement for 2 guitars is in D. The original was in F, and you can, of course, fit a capo on fret 3 to play in the original key, though it gets a little cramped up the neck.
The choice of D, coupled with a tuned down bottom string gives a lovely rich sound with plenty of sustain, ideal for such a slow and tender piece.

Each verse, the tune and accompaniment swap players to make the piece more interesting for the guitarists and the audience alike.

Two guitars together make a wonderfully haunting and moving sound that an audience will most certainly enjoy.

I also have a separate version for 3 guitars which is ideal for less experienced players. Find it by going to my website (below)

I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"

This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by "number of instruments", with links to soundclips and sample score.
