Email:I heard this song for the first time on So You Think You Can Dance. I
absolutely loved it. The parts are transposed to guitar from violin. Hopefully
you like it. Plus I'm pretty sure it's 100% accurate. Any suggestions please

Tuning:Standard

Measure 1 starts when the violin starts playing.

On this part on the 24th fret you have to bend a whole + 1half step to get the note high enough.
