By The Shadows. By Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop,Rock. 23 pages. Derek Hasted #968000. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1383550).FOOT TAPPER (The Shadows) - 3 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLE
For Classical Guitar - also suits Acoustic Guitar or Electric Guitar
Derek Hasted writes "It’s a bit of a blast from the past, but this is a really “under-the-fingers” piece that lives up to its name.
My arrangement for 3 early intermediate guitars is devoid of the drum part, so a few extra notes have been added and a few empty bars removed, so that continuity is assured where the short drum breaks of the original took place.
That apart, the speed, the key and the structure of the original are all here.
Guitar 1 is the tune, and I’ve lifted it up an octave in the slow section so it’s easier to hear amongst the strummed chords, which can be quite heavy sounding on a classical guitar.
Guitar 2 is the rhythm guitar part - all the chords are named, so that a school ensemble teacher, for example, can suggest 3- or 4-string versions of the big chords here. And you may find the usual first position G chord is less tiring than the barré version here, though it will sound a little bass-heavy.
Either or both of the treble clef and bass clef versions of Guitar 3 can be played. In a large ensemble, having both will give a bigger sound.
This exudes foot tapping happiness…
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
