Guitar1 is the main tune, as played by Hank Marvin in The iconic recording made byThe Shadows. The music is provided in both notes and TAB.

Guitar 2is a part with chords. This is given with chord symbols, fretboard diagrams andrhythm patterns.

Guitar 4is a transcription of the bass line. It is an interesting andrhythmically-exciting part. It is in simple positions and is given in notesonly.

Guitar4 can also be played by a bass guitar. The part is also given in bass clef(sounding an octave lower).

'Mo run an diugh mar an dé thu' (MyLove Today as Heretofore)

Ae Fond Kiss is perhaps the most popular love song by the great Scottish poetRobert ?Rabbie? Burns.

The poem (its fulltitle being Ae Fond Kiss and then we sever) is usually sung to themelody set here; the traditional Scottish tune 'Mo run an diugh mar an déthu'.

I carefully select or compose repertoire which suits the tastes of beginners.

As ABRSM and other exam boards now allow candidates to choose one or more of their pieces (for the performers' exam), this piece is ideal for those looking for an extra piece of repertoire of approximately Grade 1 in standard.

Your download will include a version in notes and TAB and a version with notes only.

This is a simple, short arrangement of the lovely Scottish song 'Annie Laurie' for solo guitar.

The technical and musical level is suitable for early-years guitarists. The ABRSM grade level is approximately Grade 2 and for other boards, where the technical requirements are more relaxed, Grade 3.

Exam boards across the world are now offering online video submissions to replace existing grades. Candidates are required to perform some set repertoire but also free choice music. This piece is ideal for Grade 2-3 standard players (2nd-3rd year). Annie Laurie also makes an excellent piece of repertoire and the addition of chords makes it a possible ensemble piece. I will upload a YouTube video before the end of September 2020.

For a wealth of repertoire choices for solo and ensemble guitar, please see www.danjonesguitarist.com.

This famous Scottish melody exists in sources from 16th Century in Celtic traditions. It is best known today when sung on New Year's Eve using a text by the great Scottish poet Robert 'Rabbie' Burns.

The arrangement has been made with early-level guitarists in mind. The score is provided in notes with TAB below and just notes on a separate sheet in the single download. That way, teachers who wish to avoid TAB can do so easily.

Technically, the piece can be played in second position throughout. There is also the option of finishing a performance after the first G major section. Those wanting a more substantial piece can play the second page which modulates to A major.

The arrangement avoids unnecessary technical difficulties and therefore will make a great concert or repertoire piece for all learners. For a wide range of scores for solo guitar or guitar in ensemble, please visit www.danjonesguitarist.com.

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.

Chariots ofFire is a classic film, made in 1981, telling the story of twoBritish athletes working towards the 1924 Olympic Games. The theme music, byVangelis, is as iconic as the movie itself.

As a guitarteacher, I am often looking for melodies which can be played by plectrum(electric) guitar, rather than chords or riffs. This arrangement serves thatpurpose. It can, of course, be played by classical or acoustic players as well.

The arrangement also features chord symbols. These could be played by a teacher, or another pupil. I have provided aversion in notes and TAB and a separate page with just the notes, for teachersor players who wish to avoid TAB.

Theoriginal music is in the key of D flat major. I have transposed this to D major,which is far more suitable for guitar.

Scarborough Fair - arranged for solo guitar by Dan Jones

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your purchase. Ifyou have any questions, requests or would like to send feedback, it would be apleasure to hear from you at www.danjonesguitarist.com or on my facebook page.
