  • Mark Windham's transcription (for classical guitar) of the piano work Asturias, by Issac Albeniz, has already been downloaded thousands of times since the initial upload in 1998.  Read about the project, hear the Midi, and download the score (PDF, Gif, Finale .Mus formats.)  BTW - this is one of the most famous pieces performed on the classical guitar...
  • Classical Guitar Internet Resources: news from the southern US, events, articles, free music downloads, discussion archives, music reviews, more.

Easy Search result Links for purchasing music for the classical or fingerstyle guitar:

  • Classical: music for guitar - anthologies (also try the links for popular and standard pieces below as well as Spanish music for guitar.)
  • Classical Guitar Composer:  Heitor Villa-Lobos: music for guitar by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (modern period)
  • Classical Guitar Studies: for beginner, intermediate and advanced students (multiple composers)
  • Classical Guitar - Popular pieces: for beginner, intermediate and advanced students (multiple composers)
  • Classical: for beginner, intermediate and advanced students (multiple composers)

  • Spanish music for classical guitar - concertos, sonatas, sonatinos, multiple composers: Rodrigo, Sanz, Tarrega, de Falla, Ponce, Grandos, Albeniz, Turina, and more.

    Andres Segovia - music for classical guitar - editions, transcriptions, and recordings - including: 20 Studies by Sor, transcriptions of the music of Albeniz and other Spanish composers.  The recordings of Segovia are the sounds that many of us think of when we hear Spanish music or guitar music; of course the classical guitar is much more than just one type of sound - I encourage you to explore music from all periods and composers.

 

 

  • Classical Guitar Editions:  Frederick Noad: music for guitar collected and edited by Frederick Noad - these are excellent editions for students; the method books contain music from several periods along with notes on practice and performance specific to the pieces.  Also, the period anthologies are a great resource at a reasonable cost (i.e. hours of enjoyable music that is within reach of beginners to advanced students.)
  • Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (J.S. Bach): music for guitar by German Composer J. S. Bach(~Baroque period.)  The edition of the Lute Suites by Frank Koonce is my favorite.

Fingerstyle Celtic music for guitar - Irish/Celtic music - fingerstyle or classical guitar - usually includes both standard notation and tabulature; also, modified tunings are common (i.e. DAGDAD.)

Flamenco music for guitar - quite a number of titles - look for the method books by Koster.

Note - all musical editions should be taken as opinions - they can/should be subject to debate and possibly changes (as deemed needed by a performer), especially where transcriptions are made to create editions of music for instrumentation different from what the composer create the music for.  Just because it is printed on the page does not mean that it is absolute - the same goes for any text in print or any web page that you might come across...
