Tablature:

Arranging ideas and playing tips: I like arranging waltzes for guitar. It's that building from a simple base again. you've got room and time to breathe some musical life into the tune. The midi doesn't cut it here I'm afraid , but it will show you a good strong tune with natural harmonic movement that lends itself well to the chord / melody approach to arranging. If you hold down the chords as noted in first position, the melody will never be far away. I play the first and second beats in the F chord bars (6 & 14) staccato. This sounds good and conveniently allows me to bounce my left hand off the frets to pick up the open B string in the melody. Notice that in the 3rd section the melody introduces some dotted 1/4 notes which break up the Am and G chord ostinato fills of the 1st and 2nd sections. I add to this by substituting a bass run fill in bar 26.
