The famous hymn and national anthem of the United Kingdom, God Save The Queen (also known as America), has been a source of melodic inspiration for hundreds of composers over the past centuries. Beethoven, J.C. Bach and Paganini, for example, each wrote a set of variations based on its melody. This jazz variation of God Save The Queen for solo guitar incorporates jazz counterpoint, extended and altered chords, and chord substitutions to reharmonize this well-known melody. Great for electric, acoustic or classical guitar.

3 pages sheet music, plus tablature and chord changes.

ISBN 9781610653138. A wonderful volume of the world's most famous classical guitar masterpieces tastefully adapted to be playable by non-concert guitarists. In the past, beginning guitarists had to rely on overly simple pieces lacking in interest. Now for the first time, the great concert masterpieces are accessible to the novice player. This book is a must-have for guitar teachers and students. Titles include 'Leyenda' and 'Granada' by Albeniz, Tarrega's 'Recuerdos de la Alhambra', 'Adelita' and 'Lagrima'; 'Spanish Dance #5' and 'Poetic Waltzes 1, 3, 5 and 6' by Granados, 'Bouree in E minor' by J. S. Bach, and the traditional anonymous 'Romanza'.
