This is a fingerstyle arrangement of a popular traditional song "The House of the Rising Sun". I arranged it into jazz fingerstyle music with walking bass lines. Although it?s not easy for beginners to play this arrangement, it will be good finger exercises. You can watch a sample video on You Tube below.

A solo guitar arrangement of a Jewish/Sephardic song "Morenika". Arrangement done by the Ukrainian musician and teacher Eugen Sedko / eugensedko.com. Notes and tabs together. This song was sang by the Jews who lived in Spain, then were forced to move abroad after 1492.

History:

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" was written by Johnny Marks in 1962. The song was re-recorded by Burls Ives and released in 1964 as a single and later featured the following year in his 1965 holiday album, Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. It features an acoustic guitar solo introduction; it is this version that has since become the more commonly heard rendition on radio. It is also the version this guitar arrangement is based on.

About:

The arrangement presented in this edition is for solo guitar in Fingerstyle/Classical guitar style. The score remains extremely faithful to the original melody but with some pleasant additions such as a fun little jazz ending twist, an inspired blues lick (based on Burls Ives' famous recording) opening and closing the piece. The arrangement is as idiomatic as can be for the guitar. No details have been left out and the score is made with lots of care.

This piece is a perfect choice for early intermediate and intermediate guitarists, and especially for students that are playing in a Christmas recital. The score includes Notation, Notation & Tablature and Chords!

Speed of Sound by Coldplay

Speed of Sound is an enormously-successful song by the British rock band Coldplay. It was the first single to be released from the band?s 2005 album X & Y.

Your single download will give you an introduction, a score in both notes and TAB and a score with just notes.

The melodies and warm harmonies make it ideal for arrangement for solo instruments and ensembles.
This arrangement is perfect for concerts, encores, wedding repertoire and background music. It is technically and musically appropriate for players of an intermediate standard.

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.

If you would like to perform a concert set of Coldplay songs, as I do, you will find solo arrangements of Fix You and Clocks for download at the website noted above.

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

Three Preludes on Occitan Songs

The single download comprises of an Introduction with performers' notes, a score with TAB underneath (to aid with the DADGBD tuning) and a score with notes only.

In performance, the guitar is tuned DADGBD (with both strings 1 and 6 tuned to D).

Icomposed Three Preludes on Occitan Songsduring the years I spent living and working in South West France.
I hadthe pleasure of seeing Occitan bands performing at village festivals. The styleof music was coarse and rhythmic with lyrics telling timeless stories. I borrowed the mostsimple of melodic fragments and use them to create contemporary guitar workssuitable for concert performance.

The Cancion de Hialara translates as ?The Spinner?sSong?. In this, I have imitated the rustic drones of the hurdy-gurdies found inOccitan bands through the use of tremolo patterns.

Som Som is a lullaby. This melody isfamiliar to many cultures across Europe and beyond.

Lò NostreAse translatesas ?Our Donkey?. It is a comic song which tells of the antics of a stubbornrustic animal. Players should enjoy the hemiola rhythms where 3/4 is set again6/8.

For other solo compositions, arrangements, and teaching scores, see: www.danjonesguitarist.com.

This cancause some difficulty in reading. Also, to take advantage of the sonority ofthe instrument when tuned this way, the unusual playing positions and fingeringare critical. It is for these reasons that I have provided the score in justnotes but also with notes and tablature below.

Thankyou and I hope you enjoy Three Preludes on Occitan Songs.
