In addition to string orchestra, the arrangements are also set for electric strings with optional guitar/electric guitar, piano, and drumset. The student book contains a full-length, two-page play thru version of the melody, which follows closely the original recording and includes clearly labeled Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, and Outro sections. The bass and harmony component parts are then presented in a lead sheet format, along with a flow chart that matches the order of the Melody Line Play Thru.
