From the great game The last of Us. A grim and exciting work. comes with an optional 5th part For Guitarists by a guitarist.

This is a fun piece that your ensemble is sure to enjoy. This arrangement has been carefully transcribed and arranged in the original key to be performed by at least 2 guitars and 1 bass.

I have provided you with both ?notation? and ?notation with tablature? parts so you have the choice to distribute the version appropriate to your needs or the performers? reading abilities.

Four themes (Main Theme ? Underworld Theme ? Underwater Theme ? Starman Theme) are included in this arrangement in a variety of time signatures (4/4, 3/4, and 6/8). The original tempos are indicated although you could vary the tempo to suit your ensemble?s skill level. This is a great piece for teaching 16th note (semiquaver) rhythmic groupings and triplets. Rehearsal letters have been used to aid with rehearsals as a number of sections are repeated throughout the piece.

In larger ensembles it might be appropriate to ask some performers to create a percussive accompaniment on their guitars, or to recreate the 8-bit effects from the game on electric guitars (there are some great examples on YouTube).

From the movie - The Greatest Showman (2017).
