Across The Universe, for solo guitar

This performance is based on my 1988 arrangement of "Across the Universe", which is in the book "Beatles for Classical Guitar". The differences are:

1. In my "User's Guide to the book, I mentioned that I substituted D Major 7 for B minor. In this version, I decided to put the B minor back in, just to show how that could be done. Here is a link to the User's guide (scroll down): http://www.larrybeekman.com/freeMusic+.html

2. I sort of rewrote (aka, improvised) the second verse - when you play an arrangement for 20 years, its hard not to change things around a bit from time to time!

Sound recorded with a Zoom H4n recorder.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the arrangement!
