By The Beach Boys. By Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop. 19 pages. Derek Hasted #995946. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1414174).GOD ONLY KNOWS (Beach Boys) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar
Derek Hasted writes "This is a lovely piece that will appeal to audiences of all ages - they’ll be humming it on the way home!
I've arranged this to suit as many guitar ensembles as possible - I've changed the key a little to make the shapes in this piece familiar ones and to make best use of the neck. My arrangement will suit a mixed ability ensemble from early intermediate to intermediate.
Guitar 4 has the bottom string tuned down to D.
I've arranged this in compound time instead of swing rhythm, and I've included triplet dotted crotchets (¼ notes) instead of three plain crotchets, so that the rhythm is easy to read.
The piece finishes with a final chord instead of a fade to nothing, as it usually works better in concert. But if you have a conductor who can help with the fade, you could carry on playing the repeating section at the end until the sound has vanished.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
