After working for awhile, I managed to create an arrangement that was in the original key and did not require contortions! Some of the parts are played an octave lower than on the record. Since the highest note in the piece is C#, you would need a six-string with at least 25 frets to play that note! (without re-tuning, of course). I think the arrangement is pretty true to the record, let me know what you think. BTW, I didn't put in the various tempo markings in the transcription, check the record for details. I transcribed this piece for four string. This might make playing the octave E's in measure 10 and other places difficult to play. The lower register notes are to be played with the fingering hand and the upper register notes are to be played with the picking hand. I play the thirds on the upper strings with my thumb and index or middle finger and I play the fourths with index and middle fingers. Enjoy!
