Paul's Free Guitar Scores

|
Last Updated: November 14, 2009
===========================
Replaced the old score for Chopin's Raindrop Prelude
with a fingered edition.
===========================
===========================
New score & video added 10-29-09. Chopin's
sad and lovely Prelude 6 has already been arranged for guitar by the great Tarrega in the key of G# Minor. My transcription
is in E minor and is within the performance range of second-year students. I hope you enjoy it!
===========================
Welcome, guitarists & other friends!

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.
