Derek Hasted writes "This wonderfully upbeat piece of music makes a great flute & guitar duet - the sustain of the flute carries the melody, and the guitar provides a bouncy accompaniment that is part ragtime and part bluegrass.

The flute part is Early Intermediate and the guitar part is just a little harder if the ragtime swinging bass seems unfamiliar.

There are no repeats in this piece, and that allows changes to the texture in the successive verses.

I?ve performed this piece in concert and it?s always been a great crowd-pleaser.

I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"

This easy arrangement of Elvis Presley's relaxed and charming "Love Me Tender" (set to the music of Aura Lee) not only suits novice players, but also generates a lovely sound, mixing the sustain of the flute with an almost rag-time fingerpicking guitar accompaniment.

The use of a "swinging thumb" in the guitar part makes it easy to bring out a slowly ascending and descending chromatic middle voice, adding yet more interest to this well-known tune.


The guitar music has chord symbols and chord names as well as conventional notation.

Ideal for those just starting out in the world of music...
