  Good classical stuff

Do any of you play any classical stuff on the guitar? Whether the piece was made for guitar or not, post your favorite to play or listen to here.

Here's some starters:

Bach - Air on G
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
Bach - Cello Suite No 1
Bach - Bourree
Pachelbel - Canon
Bach - Prelude No 1 <--- beautiful and easy!

Ditto on the Bourree- it was the one of the first pieces I learned to play. Took me just about forever to do it.

Pachelbel's Canon in D, of course, is a classic as well.

Classical gas- Mason williams. One day I will nail that tune.


Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.

I have a Sibelius file I made of the tune if you would like it.

I'm not sure what a Sibelius file is but I'd like to see it

Do you play the chords and the melody at once? I can't really figure out a good way to do this.

Hey
Yeah I can play it that way. I posted a recording on here of me playing it in that fashion. I am not overly happy with it, I think I used to play it so much better (like everything else).
Sibelius is a notation programme I use. I can upload the files as bitmaps though, and then you can print those out. I will just have to find the disc with it on.

if you follow this link http://www.mypowertabs.net/song.php?id=2552, you will find a powertab file for the solo version. It looks pretty good.
You will need to download Powertab Pro to use this file.
