"Frolic" {arr. by Mel Bay}

 NOTES ABOUT "FROLIC"

   "Frolic" was originally published as a "duet"; that is, these lines were originally meant to be played separately by TWO players.   If you attempt to play both of these parts simultaneously, it will be quite a challenge.  For this reason, I may have to make some changes at some point to accommodate double-stops.   

   If you have a playing partner, divide the song up into "high" and "low" and play as a duet.  The two parts form quite a lovely harmony.   I hope soon to add an audio/video of this song, so that you will have something to play along with, even when you are alone.





   The last two measures are to be strummed or plucked, not played one note at a time.

   In the original duet, there are a time or two when the two players play the SAME NOTE.. and of course, it was impossible for me to show that in double-stops.  So, whenever that happened, I substituted a note at the 5th fret.   Ex: 5th (next-to-last) line, 3rd bar.  There is a "0" and a "5".. these are the SAME note.
