The songs in Hal Leonard's Essential Elements Guitar Ensemble series are playable by multiple guitars. Each arrangement features the melody (lead), a harmony part, and a bass line. Chord symbols are also provided if you wish to add a rhythm part. For groups with more than three or four guitars, the parts may be doubled. Play all of the parts together, or record some of the parts and play the remaining part along with your recording. All of the songs are printed on two facing pages, so no page turns are required. This series is perfect for classroom guitar ensembles or other group guitar settings.

Includes 15 hits arranged for three or more guitarists: Aqualung • Behind Blue Eyes • Crazy Train • Fly like an Eagle • Free Bird • Hey Jude • Into the Great Wide Open • Low Rider • Maggie May • Oye Como Va • Proud Mary • Smoke on the Water • Start Me Up • We Will Rock You • You Really Got Me.
