Guitar Tab

This is a more complicated arrangment of the classic
piece "Romance" arranged by Jack Marshall.

-------------------------------------------------


This is the best version of the anonymous classic "Romanza"
I have ever heard. The inclusion of the F# is simply
captivating and adds a darker quality to the piece.
Also the very, very cool measures #39-40 have a challenging
stretch but it produces a beautiful effect.

I remembered seeing Christopher Parkening perform this on
the Johnny Carson show. I imagine this might be in one of
Parkening's books. If someone has them, let me know how
accurate I was...
