You can learn this intermediate solo and present it anywhere and it will be well received. It is also a teaching arrangement. If you like the tune, I reccomend you persevere with the single note sequences, in particular those in measures 17 and 19 which contain a 32nd note triplet.

       Since the tempo is relatively slow, i.e. 1/4 note = 85bpm, you may tremolo all notes and chords starting with the length of a quarter and longer, except in measure 29. It is customary to play triplets with a stroke sequence of (down, up, down.) In measure 29, I feel that the stroke sequence, (tremolo, quick up, down, down, down,) is a very effective rhythmic, tamborine like technique, especially when the chords are tamped or touched on the neck so that they do not sound.

       The strokes I have mapped out, and the placement of certain notes on the finger board are well thought out in relation to ease and continuity of execution, should you choose to use them.

Below is a short sample of the arrangement. Arrangements will be personalized and printed on 8 1/2 by 11, bright white, 24lb paper.
