As originally intended by the composer, this work can be played on a standard six-string guitar, and also on an eight-string guitar with the two lower basses tuned to low D and C, or on any multi-string guitar where these two basses are available. A successful performance of this popular bravura piece, particularly the Finale “cavalry charge” of it, would be utterly satisfying to many in the audience, those who recall its association with the Lone Ranger radio and TV series, and those who do not.
