Product Description
One of the most widely recognized rock songs ever, the massive Guns N' Roses hit song "Sweet Child O' Mine" was released in 1988 and ended up becoming the band's only Number One US single. Following its huge success, it has since been listed as one of Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," and as one of "40 Songs That Changed The World." So it's easy to see that you can't go wrong with this one in your gig books! This arrangement for solo cello was originally written for a wedding recessional, but it will also be perfect for receptions, proposals, cocktails, parties, corporate events, solo & ensemble contests, or just playing for fun. No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs (if you're buying a track, note that this chart has been transposed to the key of G major). Rated advanced for some tricky rhythms, high notes, and a guitar solo in the middle that goes by pretty fast (but has been modified to be a lot more cello-friendly!), this chart will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
