This is a beautiful, tender and heartfelt, finger-style guitar solo (ballad), exactly as performed by The Candlelight Guitarist on the album "Sunflower Serenity." As with other Candlelight Guitarist pieces, it seamlessly blends romantic popular, folk, classical and jazz styles. Written in both standard notation and TAB, it's for a strong intermediate level finger-style player (budding-into-more advanced), comfortable playing up to 12th position, with capable finger-style abilities (either classical or strong folk technique).

Bob McKillop, founder and publisher, MaineFolkMusic.com
Brad Powell is a talented and highly trained California guitarist and composer who calls himself "The Candlelight Guitarist", and for good reason. His music is perfect for situations in which candlelight figures prominently. Quiet meditation, romance, intellectual stimulation ? the soft, pure tones of his Spanish and classic instrumental style open up your heart and render it more receptive to the spiritual messages that these pursuits engender."

Scarborough Fair is a much-lovedtraditional English ballad, the text of which dates back to medieval times. Ithas been recorded many times by contemporary artists, most famously, Simon andGarfunkel.

In making thisarrangement I am attempting to create a work suitable for the more-advanced orconcert player. My intention has been to use the original theme to construct apiece with structure and harmonic depth.

Scarborough Fair iscomposed in the beautiful, ambient Dorian mode. It is firstly presented in ADorian and midway, modulates to D Dorian before returning to the original modewith a coda. By adjusting the sixth degree of the scale the theme is also heardin Aeolian mode.

I am excited at theidea of using well-known themes to create a concert repertoire suitable for allenvironments and which will appeal to guitarists and non-guitarists alike.

I have also triedperforming the piece with a capo placed at the second fret when I have felt myprogramme needed more harmonic variety.

A film and recordingof me performing the arrangement can be found in the link given on this page orat danjonesguitarist.com.

I hope very much you enjoy playingScarborough Fair.

Clocks - Coldplay

Clocks is an enormously-successful song by the British rock band Coldplay.
It was released in 2002 on the band?s second studio album A Rush of Blood to the Head.

The iconic, modal piano theme, contrapuntal melodies and classical structure make it highly suited to
arrangement for solo instruments and ensembles.

This arrangement is ideal for concert works, encores, wedding repertoire and background music. It is technically and musically appropriate for players of an intermediate/advanced standard.

Some bars present players with considerable technical challenges so alternative solutions are offered.

Dan?s arrangements for solo guitar and ensembles for all levels can be heard at www.danjonesguitarist.com.

Links to downloads are also available in all video descriptions.

Thank you for listening and I hope very much that you and your audiences enjoy Clocks as much as I have enjoyed arranging and playing it.

A full recording can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/user-115466245/clocks

A video will be uploaded here before the end of March 2020.

This version of Coldplay's 'Yellow' transforms a rock song into a fingerstyle ballad. It is arranged for the more-experienced guitarist and will make a very original and popular item for concerts, background music, weddings and general repertoire.

The opening requires use of high positions - ideally a cutaway guitar. I have provided an alternative opening at the end of the arrangement.

'Yellow' was Coldplay's first major UK success when it was released from their album 'Parachutes' in 2000.

The download contains a version with both notes and TAB and a second version with notes only. Full professional fingering is provided. A recording and YouTube performance/lesson will be uploaded before the end of September 2020.
