Message in a Bottle” is a well-known song by the English rock band The Police. It was released as the lead single from their second studio album, “Reggatta de Blanc”, in 1979.   My arrangement for acoustic steel guitar moves the key to G from the original C#m and attempts to interpret the full band arrangement in a distilled version for one instrument.
