Scott Ainslie: Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? (Instrumental version)

This is my arrangement of a masterpiece from Jay Gorney (music) and Yip Harburg (lyrics), a hit in 1932 at the height of the Great Depression. Notation for this arrangement is available to our Patreon subscribers, $5/minimum monthly tithe, no time limit, no contract, and access to everything. There are higher tithe levels for people who want to keep a place at the table for those who can only afford the minimum. So far, this is sustainable. I hope you'll enjoy this arrangement. / scottainslie , Skype lessons available via CattailMusic.com

Been watching your videos for years. So cool how you cherish the traditions and stories behind the music you play. Also, you honor tradition by making each song you play your own. Very unique, you are.

Finding the right setting is, um, key to solo guitar arrangements like this. I’m glad you found it. All the best, s.

Tasty arrangement, Sensei. I look forward to digging into this. :-)

That's such an appropriate title for him. Sensei
