Easy on Me
I set myself a challenge to arrange, practice, record and upload this arrangement on the same day as Adele released the song. Just a bit of fun, but it turned out very niceley!

Once Upon a Time in the West
A short but pretty arrangement of the theme to the spaghetti western theme by Ennio Morricone. There are a lot of artificial harmonics to cope with, and although it's a slow piece it is more difficult than it sounds to make it flow. There is a version with and one without tablature.

Scarborough Fair
This is an attempt of mine to produce an arrangement that is slightly easier to play! It turned out just a little harder than I hoped but is not too tricky. I have produced a 20 minute video of tips on how to play the arrangement as well. I've put a short extract of this below.

Bright Eyes
This is an arrangement of the famous song from "Watership Down" written by Mike Batt and performed by Art Garfunkel. It isn't too difficult and there are two versions, one with tablature and without. Left Hand fingerings included in tricky places.

Never Enough
This is the big ballad from "The Greatest Showman". A lovely tune, however, I'm afraid it's rather tricky to play!

Hallelujah
A capotasto is used on the 5th fret giving a brightness and fresh tonality. Inspired by the Jeff Buckley version, this transcription is lovely to play, not difficult at all. Recommended. There two versions of this arrangement, one without and one with tablature.

The Boxer
Here is an arrangement of the famous Simon and Garfunkel hit, The Boxer. It is not the easiest piece to play, but very addictive! Sheet music only, no tab yet.

Wonderwall
A Superb arrangement of the 1995 Oasis hit, "Wonderwall". Surely the most detailed out there. Some very interesting textures, including rasgueado, tambora and playing four parts at once at the end of the arrangement. Certainly not a beginners piece, but within the reach of the intermediate player, very impressive when mastered. There are two versions of the arrangement one with and one without tablature for those who prefer. Difficulty ***

Feelings
Here is a lovely arrangement of the popular 1974 tune, "Feelings" made famous by Julio Iglesias, Shirley Bassey, Petula Clark to name just a few! The piece works really nicely for solo classical guitar, and is not too difficult to play. Fingerings of tricky passages are given for both right and left hands. There are two versions to buy, one with and one without tablature.

Candle in the Wind
At long last one of David's most popular arrangements is available to buy! Candle in the Wind has to be one of Elton John's best known tunes, and it transcribes beautifully onto the guitar as you will hear in this youtube clip. The arrangement is faithful to this performance. Fingering is provided in tricky places, and as usual there is a copy of the music both with and without tablature.

The Entertainer
A great arrangement of Scott Joplin's famous ragtime piece used in the film, "The Sting". Very carefully transcribed with attention to articulation and being faithful to the original score. Not by any means easy, but a lot of fun to play! Fingerings of left and right hand are given in tricky areas, and there are a lot of those! Also now available, 34 minute video tutorial to help learn the piece, click button below to purchase. Please note, you will need the sheet music.

I Know Him So Well (From "Chess")
This has always proved to be popular. Not a Lloyd Weber tune as many believe, but penned by Benny and Bjorn from Abba! Not too difficult to play and comes with both tab and non tab versions with fingerings in the trickier areas.

Bridge Over Troubled Water
One of the greatest ballads of all time without a doubt. Transfers well to the guitar. This is a brand new, updated arrangement. Comes in both sheet music only form and sheet music/tab as usual. Fingerings of complicated passages are given.

You've Got a Friend
Equally famous versions by James Taylor and Carole King, this is fairly straightforward to play, mostly down in the lower positions. Comes in versions with and without tablature due to popular demand, and has left and right hand fingering for trickier passages.

To Make You Feel My Love
This song was originally written by Bob Dylan and recently covered by Adele, so it will appeal to a wide age range! Not especially difficult to play but very impressive if played with the right "laid back" feel. I've added some lovely embellishments for the solo section in the middle of the piece. (1.55 into the arrangement).

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word
Some arrangements are difficult to transfer to the guitar but this one just went well from start to finish. The chords, the melody line and the piano instrumental sit perfectly on the instrument. Two versions here, one with tab, one without, both with accurate left and right hand fingerings in tricky parts. A good encore piece this, in fact I played it in Italy the other day!

From a Distance
A fine arrangement of the popular song "From a Distance" made famous by Nanci Griffith and Bette Midler. One or two slightly tricky moments but generally not too difficult to play. As usual the arrangement comes with tablature and fingering for the less obvious passages. This is an exact copy of the youtube video above. Possibly the only arrangement of this song there is!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
