Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1414174 By The Beach Boys. By Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop. 19 pages. Derek Hasted #995946. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1414174). GOD ONLY KNOWS (Beach Boys) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensembleFor Classical or Acoustic GuitarDerek Hasted writes This is a lovely piece that will appeal to audiences of all ages - theyâ??ll be humming it on the way home!I've arranged this to suit as many guitar ensembles as possible - I've changed the key a little to make the shapes in this piece familiar ones and to make best use of the neck. My arrangement will suit a mixed ability ensemble from early intermediate to intermediate. Guitar 4 has the bottom string tuned down to D.I've arranged this in compound time instead of swing rhythm, and I've included triplet dotted crotchets (¼ notes) instead of three plain crotchets, so that the rhythm is easy to read.The piece finishes with a final chord instead of a fade to nothing, as it usually works better in concert. But if you have a conductor who can help with the fade, you could carry on playing the repeating section at the end until the sound has vanished.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by number of instruments, with links to soundclips and sample score.
