Product Description
This is a high-quality, professionally notated simplified transcription and tablature arrangement for 4-string bass, electric guitar, and acoustic guitar, all written in standard tuning (EADG for bass / EADGBE for guitar and acoustic), of the epic 1980s power ballad Making Love Out of Nothing at All by the internationally acclaimed soft rock/pop duo Air Supply. Originally released as a new track on their Greatest Hits album in 1983, and written by the legendary Jim Steinman, this dramatic, emotionally soaring song has become one of Air Supplys most iconic and beloved classics.
This simplified arrangement is faithfully adapted in the key of E major / C# minor, preserving the harmonic structure and melodic intensity of the original while making it fully playable for beginner to intermediate musicians. It is ideal for both solo practice and full ensemble performance, offering accessible parts for players looking to experience the grandeur and emotional resonance of this timeless love anthem.
Arrangement highlights include:
A 4-string bass part that captures the sweeping foundation and driving emotional pulse of the original track. The lines are simplified to support entry-level and developing bassists, while remaining rhythmically and tonally engaging.
A rhythm guitar arrangement for electric guitar that emphasizes power chord textures, strumming patterns, and harmonic accents that bring out the rock energy of Jim Steinmans signature songwriting.
A fingerstyle-friendly or strumming-based acoustic guitar transcription, perfect for unplugged sets, singer-songwriter performances, or intimate duos, maintaining the dramatic build and expressive emotion of the studio version.
