This arrangement is part of a series I amproducing which will allow gatherings of guitarists of all levels to playtogether. As a guitarist and guitar teacher, I?ve noticed how arrangements willoften be too easy for some and too hard for others leaving many ensembleplayers frustrated or dissatisfied. This is a deficiency I am resolving.

My aim is to create arrangements which arestimulating for all. I have done this by tailoring parts to suit the differenttechnical and musical experience of each level of guitarist. This makes thearrangements particularly suitable for guitar societies, school groups andfestivals. The required levels are approximated below. As an experienced musicianand composer, I have added many points of musical interest such as modulations,chord substitutions and counterpoint. This also gives teachers and leaders tothe chance to teach their groups about these devices in the context of learninga real work. Guitars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 7 all play the main melody at somepoint (Guitar 6 being for near-beginners).

Technical Requirements­­

· Guitars1 & 2 will suit players of Grade 6 (intermediate/advanced) standard or above. There is somehigh-position work.

· Guitars3 & 4 are suitable for players of about Grade 4 (intermediate) standard.

· Guitar5 is suitable for a player of about Grade 2 (beginner) standard.

· Guitar6 is suitable for near-beginners. It is mainly open strings with some first-positionstopped notes. Although it is a technically-easy part, it is very motivatingfor guitarists in their early stages to play with a large ensemble. This partis optional.

· Guitar7 is suitable for players of about Grade 5 (intermediate) standard. The bass line hasornamentation, a lot of rhythmic interest and at times, the melody.

Teachers and player can also benefit fromthe fact that a recording of the arrangement, with performance notes, is alwaysavailable on-line.

The Boxer is an iconic work by Simon and Garfunkel. Here it is arranged in four guitar parts, suitable for both quartet or large guitar ensemble.

This arrangement has the following benefits in a single download:

(1) A full score is provided showing both the notes and TAB
(2) Individual parts are provided in both notes and TAB. These are shown on separate sheets. I am aware that many teachers dislike TAB so the option is given to include or exclude it as the purchaser wishes
(3) Each part has melodic interest. The primary vocal lines are played by guitars 1 & 2. Guitar 3 plays accompanying ornamental figures and also the instrumental solos transcribed from the original recording. Guitar 4 plays a finger-style chordal accompaniment throughout using recognisable chord shapes.

The arrangement is appropriate for intermediate players but will be suitable as an unusual repertoire item for professional groups as well. It is an outstanding work for music school concerts. A performance will last for approximately five minutes.

A film showing 16 guitarists playing remotely from all over the world will be uploaded before the end of July 2020.

You can hear and watch a wide range of arrangements for solo guitar and guitar in ensemble suitable for all levels at www.danjonesguitarist.com.

The Boxer was released on the Bridge Over Troubled Water album released in 1970 and is one of the best-loved pieces of repertoire from the folk-rock genre. .

A short, easy arrangement of the theme from Antonin Dvorak's famous New World Symphony (2nd Movement).

This arrangement provides a full score plus individual parts in both notes and TAB. The notes and TAB are given on separate sheets as I am aware that some teachers avoid TAB.

The parts are equally balanced with every guitarist enjoying some melodic interest.

The level is suitable for very early stage players. The music:

(1) Remains in open position
(2) Uses finger-friendly pentatonic shapes (as supported by many major pedagogic schemes)
(3) Requires players to alternate single notes between both thumb and fingers
(4) Gives time and space before engaging more-tricky fretted notes.

omanza (Spanish Romance) arranged for two guitars in E minor. In this easy arrangement for beginner players or students not quite ready to perform full barre chords, the melody, played by Guitar 1, is accompanied by simple arpeggios in triplets in Guitar 2 using minimal barre chords. Includes a 4-page score with tablature, chords and fingering suggestions, plus 2-page score without tabs.

Rocky Road to Dublin - Arranged for four guitars by Dan Jones

"Rocky Road to Dublin" is a 19th-century Irish song.
Ittells of the trials and experiences of a young man as he travels to Liverpoolin England, via Dublin, from his rural home in Tuam, Ireland.

Thepiece is a favourite instrumental in 9/8 time. It has the characteristics of aslip jig, with five accents in the bar, on quavers 1,3,4,6 and7. These can beheard in the first bar in guitar 1. In the sung version, the singer sings ?1,2, 3, 4, 5? to correspond with these.

Thisarrangement balances the melodic interest across all four guitar parts. It issuitable for intermediate/advanced players.



Asplit screen video of the arranger performing the piece will be uploaded here before the end of March 2021.
