UPTOWN GIRL - FLUTE and GUITAR DUET
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "This very playable but satisfying arrangement is a piece that's full of hidden gems...
For an audience it's absolutely full of uplifting key changes - not just one on the last chorus!
This arrangement starts in A, but visits the keys of F, C, D and E more than once, and each one seems to lift the mood yet higher. And then there's a gentle fade away to a quiet finish.
It's an easy rhythmic crowd-pleaser that any audience will like and it’s a real toe-tapper.
The guitar has a simple syncopated rhythm that was inspired by the electric bass line of the original and reworked to provide a rhythm 'chords and bass' part that is straightforward and reliable to play.
The soundfile alongside this download at Sheet Music Press is a mix of real guitar and synthesised flute. In a real performance the flute part will benefit from rubato and being relaxed with the beat.
I hope you enjoy this piece!"
