Special Update - June 27, 2008
You can now download all 14 Studies in one pdf file!
Welcome, guitarists & other friends!
Peruse the available scores, listen to their associated sound
files, then save the ones you like.
You'll find easy through advanced original works, and intermediate through advanced transcriptions of Bach,
Joplin, Grieg & others.
They're all yours to read, hear, play & enjoy. Share them freely with others.
Check for updates and new scores every week or so.
Thanks for visiting the site!
Update 3-8-08:
Check out the Available Scores page for new
Bach entries, 'Sinfonia' to 'Sonata II' from the 'Clavierübung' (the Swingle Singers performed a beautiful
vocal interpretation in the early 1960's) and one of his three-part inventions, 'Fantasia' - BWV 801.
Update 3-10-08
Two fresh entries for your inspection: Bach's Prelude 14 from WTK
Book 1 (Available Scores page) and the latest performance of 'La Rossignol' by the Frazier-Palmer duo on the Audios page.
Enjoy!
Update 3-20-08
Happy Spring at last! Tomorrow is Bach's 323rd birthday.
Added the 14th Fugue from Book I of the Well-Tempered Keyboard to the collection.
Update 3-31-08
I celebrated Bach's Birthday week by transcribing the overture to
his Peasant Cantata BWV 212 for guitar duet. You can see and hear it on the Available Scores page.
Also, check out the new link at the bottom of this page to The Guitar
School in Iceland. One visit and you'll put this one on your Favorites list!
Update 4-5-08
Another great free music site for your favorites list - The Free Sheet
Music Guide - added today.
Update 5-16-08
More free scores on the way soon - I have several edited & fingered
versions almost ready to add to the collection. While you're waiting, check out Marc Lambourg's free scores site (see
review & link below).
Update 5-18-08
Marc Lambourg himself just reported a bad link. The pdf
file for the third study - Suspenseful Sarabande - now opens correctly. Thanks, Marc!
Update 5-22-08
Completed fingerings & editing for Grieg's 'Last Spring'.
This was the closing theme for the 1950's TV show "I Remember Mama". The arrangement is challenging, but worth the effort
- enjoy!
Update 6-3-08
Added two new studies. #13 is a very simple 'Lullabye' in mem.
Aaron Shearer. #14 - 'Rondo del Mondo' will give you a workout on open string harmonics at the 5th, 7th, 9th & 12th
frets.
