A complete short arrangement

The established opening leads into revised guitar chords at 11.25 seconds. Shorter chord gestures leave space for the moving melody; the bass stays in a more consistent register.

At 21.76 seconds, a four-bar original response brings this study to a close. Play straight through to hear the whole arrangement, or use the solo buttons to check each instrument.
