Smile by Charlie Chaplin

Here’s an interesting piece. It was composed by the legendary Charlie Chaplin. Many people have heard this piece of music but not many know he composed it.

Here it is arranged for the classical guitar by the legendary Japanese classical guitar arranger Noriyasu Takeuchi (竹内永和).

This is also the first piece I’ve recorded using my Kris Barnett classical guitar. Its warm sound suits this piece perfectly.
