The Reaper Midi

        Ah, well you should get the semi-acoustic version of Reaper
on the Guitar for the Practicing Musician compilation Vol. 2 (I think
that's the one).  First half is Buck on acoustic (no string section that
I recall though) up to the screaming guitar solo, and then it goes
electric.  A decent arrangement.

        I once though it would be interesting to do a cover version with
vocal and piano up to the screaming guitar solo, and then go at it
with a fun band, but never had the chance ...

Cheers,
Carl
