On paper, “Made to Shine” looks approachable, and on one hand it isn’t so technically challenging. But on the other hand, it’s not easy to make the guitar sing like Frisell does on the recording. You need to play the melody, shown in the upstemmed notes, louder than the other notes, but not too forcefully, as this is a delicate piece. This is especially important in a spot like bar 15, where you have to make sure that the fourth-fret F# and the open D string do not obscure the ringing second-fret A, held from the previous measure.
