This Tune by Max Milligan appeared on his album 'Homage' in 2005. It was written as a tribute to the acoustic guitar virtuoso Eric Roche, who died that year. It has quite a ragtime-y feel with a strong alternating bass throughout, but the chords that have been used give it a contemporary twist.
I made this video specifically to demonstrate the arrangement used in the RGT acoustic guitar grade 7 handbook. This arrangement has most of the sections of Max Milligan's original composition, but with some section repeats removed, which shortens the piece. The tempo is also a bit gentler than in the original version. My top tip for anyone practicing pieces for an exam is to target accuracy, rather than high tempo. You will get more marks for an accurate and musical performance, even if you are playing a little bit slowly. Enjoy!
