From new CD, available at cdbaby.com or www.tallstrom.com TAB at http Here´s the beautiful song "The Rose" written by Amanda McBroom and made famous by Bette Midler in the movie "The Rose" from 1979. I did this arrangement after a request from my girlfriend 🙂 An open G tuning seemed to work well for the melody line… Played on my old Alvarez 5220CEQ, which was standing alone and sad in a corner and just happened to be tuned to an open G.

    Stört jävla bra! Underbart att höra denna tolkning, lugn och harmonisk. Om ändå originalet var såhär bra.

    Amazing. I just picked up my first guitar (same model you play in video) and hope I can play like that some day.

    Im still watching this video over two years since I first heard it. If I can ever be half as good as this I will be giving strangers the high five!

    Beautiful! I used to lie on my stomach on Sunday afternoons dozing while my father played Amanda McBroom singing "The Rose" on his hi-fi system. Your instrumental version does it justice!

    Really brilliant arrangement. I’m currently working my way through the tab you have on your website. Whilst very simple to play, to get it flowing the way you do is very tricky. I would love to see you do a version of it on your new baritone… everything sounds better on a baritone!
