***THIS IS FOR THE 2011 REVIVAL VERSION OF GODSPELL, NOT THE ORIGINAL.
- THIS WAS WRITTEN TO ACOCMODATE ONLY 2 GUITARS, WHILE THE FULL PLAY CALLS FOR 3.
- BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY THE PARTS I WAS ASSIGNED, N.C. WILL BE NOTED ON SECTIONS I HAD NOTHING.
- THIS WILL ONLY INCLUDE WHAT I PLAYED WHEN MY THEATER PERFORMED IT.
- SOME PARTS MAY IMPROVISED AND NOT WHAT IS ACTUALLY ON THE RECORDING TO ACCOMODATE OUR SMALLER BAND.***
- With all thatin mind, this should get you in the ballpark if you feel the need to change things.
- I've also included the measure numbers to help follow along if you don't ahve the book in front of you.
