By Michael Jackson. By Walter Scharf. Arranged by Derek Hasted. This edition: pdf. Pop. 10 pages. Derek Hasted #6501363. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.797832).BEN (MICHAEL JACKSON) - GUITAR DUET
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "If there was one piece of music that showed the true extent of Michael Jackson’s musical prowess, 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", and you can, coupled with a tuned down bottom string gives a lovely rich sound with plenty of sustain, fit a capo on fret 3 to play in the original key, ideal for such a slow and tender piece.
Each verse, it would surely be "Ben", of course, sung faultlessly and with great maturity at such a tender age.
My arrangement for 2 guitars is in D. The original was in F, the tune and accompaniment swap players to make the piece more interesting for the guitarists and the audience alike.
Two guitars together make a wonderfully haunting and moving sound that an audience will most certainly enjoy.
I also have a separate version for 3 guitars which is ideal for less experienced players. Find it by going to my website (below)
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
