For those of the tab persuasion, I believe I've got a couple of flatpicking tab versions of WF lying around....

Is your arrangement suggesting to strum the chord on the first and third beat of each measure, or is that for accompanyment?

Just wondering, I mean, it'd work either way--all the melody notes are diatonic.

Yes, it would work either way... but my choice would be, as a solo player, to treat the note/chord parts, as a two eighth notes count (eg. "1 &" or "3 &" etc.).

So you're talking a steady eighth note pulse for the whole thing? Two eighth note strums of the chord for each quarter note in the melody?

Sorry if I'm being dense...

No... more of a NOTE , FRAIL... etc. similar to the carter strum.

I'm gonna drive you crazy today, I think.

so the eighth note melody notes are played as part of a chord and the quarter notes are picked seperately?

No, but I think you would be a good candidate for this lesson:

or just simply play the song as written, without chords.

I don't think I should have to give you money to explain something that's unclear in something you posted for free.

I'm a teacher as well--I simply wanted to know what the chord symbol and the downward pointing arrow meant because it's not standard notation. You said it was a solo arrangement, so I was assuming that meant you could play your own accompanyment--I know how I'd do it, I was only interested in how you would do it.
