The Promise - from "The Piano" (theme) - Michael Nyman 1st version - by Ryan Hoover, update with extra bass notes 2nd version - by David Magalhaes, simpler ****************************************************************************** "The Piano" Theme by Michael Nyman Updated by Ryan Hoover (rhoover@umich.edu) This seems to be a much more "playable" version of this song on guitar, for me at least. I added a couple of extra bass notes, just to give it a little more "oomph" since this obviously isn't a piano. Listen to the real song to get the timing, of course.
