Really like this tune and arrangement, and it can be played back to back with Hard Times Come Again No More.

Hey Mike, love this arrangement! Question though, if you play through measure 34 with the idea of looping back to measure 3, it’s a little awkward with 2 right-hand M eighth notes in a row. What would you suggest there to make it loop seamlessly?

[Mike]

Sure, normally that measure would transition into backup which is why is doesn’t loop completely seamlessly you’re correct.

If you wanted to loop it what you’d do is take the first note of measure 34 (open 4th string) and substitute it for the first 8th notes (open 4th string and 1st fret 2nd string) of measure 2.

If you play the first note of measure 34 and then the last 3 notes of measure 2 you’d be able to pickup into the solo again.

Hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions.
