Dave Brown says
I love this song, used to listen to it on the school bus in the 70s. I think The Stranger was the first album I ever bought.
Two questions.
Although you describe it as advanced, the preview doesn’t seem too bad, is it just the solo part that is advanced?
Does it include the guitar part from the original?
Jerry says
Hi Dave
It doesn’t include the guitar part from the original. It’s a transcription of Billy’s piano part for guitar.
The tricky bit is the second half of the bridge (“Oh, and she never gives out…) which dips briefly into the key of C minor.
Dave Brown says
Many thanks Jerry, I’ll give it a go.
