By The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop. 27 pages. Derek Hasted #870257. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1278576).OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA (The Beatles) - 4 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLE
Primarily for Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "This is a piece that’s well-known to audiences and easy to play too...
Ideal for School Concerts or as a bit of mischief in an adult concert.
My version of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da contains some of the countermelodies of the original, but all the while being manageable by Early Intermediate players, with the parts increasing only slightly in complexity as we move to the top voices.
Guitar 4 requires the bottom string tuned down to D to make the best of the pitch range, but it’s also supplied in bass clef where the deeper pitch means there’s no need to re-tune.
Guitar 3 is accompanied by chord names for those who wish to strum.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
