It was done by violinist Kit Eakle and he charged for copies originally.
Not sure what the situation is now.
Agreed. Don't know how I missed this the first time. Love the little historical notes and the lyrics. This was work well done.
I agree that printed arrangements with too many chordal variations -- such as added "2-5"s all over the place -- can obscure the basic structure of the song. That can needlessly restrain and inhibit a rhythm guitarist from being (knowledgeably) creative.
Personally, I don't really mind when commonly used substitutions, added 2-5s, etc. are included in a chart but I really do wish sometimes that they were in parentheses when they're not from the original arrangement to help avoid confusion...would help in jams because some players tend to have a clear preference for "traditional" vs. "modern" chord arrangements and I tend to ape what the players more familiar with the song are doing so there's a more homogenous sounding rhythm section but it's not always clear from the chart which chords are actually original vs. implied and vice versa
