A solo acoustic guitar arrangement in DADGAD tuning, capo third fret.

Complete PDF score, 9 pages, including standard notation and the corresponding tab notation, plus precise left hand - right hand original fingering for easy read.
Available also in GuitarPro 5&6 formats. The great advantage of these two formats is that you can listen to the piece played by the sofware dynamically (I painstainkingly added the dynamics myself throughout the whole score), plus other nuances like ligados and slides, to give a better understanding and aire of the whole piece.

Some songs fit onto the classical guitar so well it's as though they were written for it. Killing Me Softly is one of these songs, every section seems to work effortlessly with some very interesting textures. Fingerings are given in the trickier sections. There is another version of the same arrangement without tablature. Not too difficult to master but certainly not a beginners piece.

Internationally acclaimed guitarist Ellsworth ("El") McMeen has done over 220 solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements and compositions in the last 30 years. He has numerous recordings, books,
and DVD lessons and has concertized throughout the United States.

Of his work, he has selected for this voluminous book
60 pieces with his favorite melodies. (Among them is an instrumental
he composed for his wife, called "Song for Sheila.")

The music is diverse in genre and mood, but each piece is compelling in its own way.
Included are folk tunes, a classical piece, hymns, a patriotic song,
ancient Celtic harp music, lullabies, El's favorite Christmas song
("In the Bleak Midwinter"), El's favorite Irish jig ("The Kid on the Mountain"),
laments, love songs, and Irish airs.

El is included in the Digitaldreamdoor listing of the 100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists.
