I hope you will enjoy my fingerings for the amazing Tarantella by Mauro Giuliani for solo classical guitar. Included are right and left-hand fingerings, string designations and repeat sequences.

ISBN 9781619112087. During the course of my teaching piano and guitar, I have not come across another book that took these classic masterpieces and arranged them for the beginner guitar student. There is an amazing amount of literature like this for the piano, but not for the guitar. My goal with this book is to fill this void in the guitar literature. I chose compositions that the young guitar student would most likely have heard before and thus used familiar melodies. I then made easy arrangements of them, mostly using the top four strings, simple chords and fingerings. The right hand fingering is not indicated, because I used the general rule of thumb: a = 1st string, m = 2nd string, i = 3rd string, p = 4th, 5th and 6th strings. All 12 solos are scored in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio.

Classical music and DADGAD tuning work amazingly well together, as Rob MacKillop's book shows. You might be surprised how easy it is to play tunes by Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky and others on the steel-strung acoustic guitar. These brilliant arrangements start easy, then gradually progress to intermediate levels. While full of great tunes, this book will also do wonders for your technique - it includes a technique primer and exercises. By the end of this book you will be playing an entire suite by Bach! The downloadable online audio includes all the pieces in the book, performed by Rob MacKillop. Access to downloadable audio.
