Brief Study Notes

Auld Lang Syne - Scots for (literally) "Old Long Since" or Long Ago...

This piece, traditionally sung all over the UK at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, goes very well on three Guitars. Indeed, for the key in which I've arranged this, it might be better if you didn't try and sing the tune...
 
I've included an amount of fingering on the top part, though, as with many fingerings, it's a matter of choice and compromise - does one shuffle up and down the neck, or try to play it all in one position? As this piece has a brief excursion to fret 15, I've chosen the former!
 
Whether you celebrate the Western New Year, the Chinese New Year or that of any other of the world's faiths and nations, I hope you will enjoy this arrangement, and, of course, the sentiment of the words too -
"We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne"
