Hi. After hearing the beautiful three saxophone arrangement
in Bjork's "Anchor Song" I found myself dismayed that it was
physically impossible for me to play this great song. So=20
instead of learning to play 3 saxes simultaneously, I=20
thought I'd take a shot at transribing the song to guitar.=20
Here's what I came up with. This can sound really nice=20
on a classical guitar (it will require finger picking), but any
guitar will do. This arrangement is in the same key as the=20
original. Some of the chords require some serious finger=20
stretching since I accounted for every sax note (except for the
low note in the final chord in the song), but I'm pretty sure=20
this is the easiest way possible for an accurate transcription. =20
If anyone has finger placement questions,
corrections, or anything, email jonpecan@aol.com. Enjoy. =20
