LIVE 088 • Auld Lang Syne (Alternate Take, Remix)

Here are an alternate take and a remix of my fingerstyle guitar arrangement of Auld Lang Syne. It’s a slack key tinged version with an added bridge/transition, but otherwise follows the familiar melody closely.

Remix of original post:

Alernate take:

Happy New Year!

Both takes recorded with a Taylor 412ce LTD (Rosewood/Spruce, with Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze HD gauge set) and a single Beyerdynamic MC 930 microphone in Honolulu, Hawai’i 12/30/14.

LIVE 003 • Auld Lang Syne

Here is a fingerstyle guitar arrangement of Auld Lang Syne I came up with. It’s a slack key tinged version with an added bridge/transition, but otherwise follows the familiar melody closely.

Happy New Year!

All rights reserved to this arrangement, however students may perform the arrangement in public.

Also – if you’re interested – here are the original lyrics to Auld Lang Syne, as penned by poet Robert Burns:

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne.

CHORUS:
On Old long syne my Jo,
On Old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On Old long syne.
